Hi, Fellows!
We want to invite you to be our special guest at
our next Pack, Troop or Explorer Post meeting. We
want you to join with us in the fun and many activities
.that we do. So, if you are 8, 9 or 10, your school has a
Cub Pack that you can join with your many friends. Just
ask them and they can tell you all about it. You fellows
of Boy Scout age, 11, 12 and 13 years old, the church,
school or service club in your community sponsors a
Scout Troop. Why don't you ask your buddies and you
will be more than welcome in the Troop.
There are not as many Explorer Units (Air Scouts,
Sea Scouts or Explorer Posts) as there are Packs and
Troops but there will be one close enough for you to join
if you'd like to meet and do things with a real gang of
fellows.
If you can't find a Cub Pack, Scout Troop or Ex
plorer Post, just call, write or come into the Scout Office
at 500 East Main Street in Medford. We will certainly
be pleased to find a Unit for you. How about you who
are Cubs, Scouts and Explorers now inviting a new boy
to join your Unit this week?
K And say, Dad we have lots of room for you, too,
as a leader or in many other positions in Scouting. And,
Mom we welcome you as a Den Mother and a mother
of a real live-wire son in Scouting.
0 Welcome to the biggest and greatest boys' organiza
tion in the world. We are proud to have you join with
us In building for a better tomorrow.

STATUE OF LIBERTY
In Hawthorne Park of Medford
stands a replica one-nineteenth
the size of the original Statue of
Liberty. This statue was erected
by Friends of Scouting and dedi
cated on May 4, 1951 by Secre
tary of the Interior Douglas Mc
Kay, then Governor of the State
of Oregon. This is one of a very
few replicas of the statue that
. has been .erected throughout
America. No other organizations
have produced r e p 1 i c as to be
placed out - of - doors. The Boy

emphasize Good Citizenship and

our Liberty symbol where many
more people can look up to it in
