Anniversary Week. in celebration of the
fourteenth birthday of the Movement in
this country, opens at 8:15 on the evening
of February 8. with the re-sflirmation o!
the Scout Oath and Law by every Scout
and official. Throughout the following
week Senators, Congressmen, Governors,
Municipal Authorities and friends every-
where join with the Boy Scouts of America
in programs including Scout Rallies, Ex-
hibits, Scout sermons in the churches,
Fathers and Soul Banquets. and Patriotic
Pilgrimages.
That of the original twenty-four officers
and members on the Executive Board.
thirteen should have continued their active
interest throughout the history of the
Movement in America. is significant of
their confidence in its power to accomplish
the purposes for which it exists, to train
boys for citizenship through recreation and
activity. To read the names of these thlr~
teen men, is to renew oue's faith in the
validity of the claim that Scouting is an
cflectivc program for character building
and ' citizenship training.
' The Scouting program is schemcd to tsltl
care of the leisure time of boys. There are
5.” hours for activity in the year of the
average boy. The school takes care of
1M oi these. How the other 4,000 are
spent is often a matter of chance.
Scouting continually challenges the boy
to higher achievement, more skill. greater
honors. There is no chance to become
"stale" or inactive.
grain that appeals to a boy‘s instincts, and
slnploys a method adapted to a boy's nature.
In the fourteen years of its history.
Scouting has grown to a boy membership
of nearly half a million. ‘One hundred and
forty-two thousand men are giving service
in volunteer capacities. It is estimated that
three million boys have'reccivcd the bone-
fit of scout training, and the records show
that 84638 boys have been in the Movement
from five to ten years.
Progressing by carefully graded steps to
the rank of First Class, the Scout may then
compete for honors in the wide field cov-
cred by seventy merit badge subjects. and
arrive at the rank of Eagle Scout by quali-
lying in a total of twenty-one of these sub-
jects. More thana 7,010 boys have attained
this tank.
644,755 merit badges have been awarded
in the past fourteen years. Of this num-
ber 149.853 were awarded during 1923. sbow~
ing the tremendous increase of interest in
the more serious side of the Program.
A total of thirty-four Honor Medals (gold)
have been awarded to scouts this have
saved. or tried to save lives at imminent
peril of their own.
The key—note of the Scout Movement is
the Daily Good Turn. to which every scout
is pledged. and this has been interpreted
to include not only the individual good turn.
but troop good turns. through which by co-
operation ol troops of scouts with civic su-
thorities, the Boy Scouts have come to be
