Ross Report
Scout Court of Honor Held, Troop Activities Being Planned
Churches throughout the nation
recognize the religious aspects of
Scouting, as boys attend the chur­
ches of their choice in uniform on
this Sunday. Some local churches
are planning such recognition. Per­
sons wishing additional informa­
tion may call Mr. Jackson at 429-
3621.
A sustaining membership cam­
paign will be launched soon to pro­
vide funds for operation of Colum­
bia Pacific Council activities. This
includes the cost of training ses­
sions and programs which cannot
be provided at the local level. For
an example, boys in Vernonia
would probably not have opportu­
nity for canoeing, life saving,
horsemanship were it not for Coun­
cil Camping facilities.
If one weighs the cost of keeping
a boy in a detention home ($3500)
for one year and the cost of keep­
ing a boy in Scouting for one year
($10) one can measure the psycho­
social-economic importance of hav­
ing a fund raising drive in Verno­
nia Although more than 100 Ver­
nonia boys are now being served
in the Cubs, Scouts and Explorers,
it is estimated "we’ll be lucky to
raise $200.”
Persons wishing to make a con
tribution to Scouting may do so by
contacting Mr. Jackson or deposit­
ing funds in accounts of local units
A chairman for the sustaining
membership drive will be announ
ced shortly
If every parent or person who
realizes the value of Scouting will
contribute a five dollar bill, the
total will be well over the goal.
These contributions are tax de­
ductible.
