NO WEAPONS FOR
THE BOY SCOUTS
CHIEF SCOUT EXECUTIVE MAKES
POSITION CLEAR. WANTS
MEMBERS TO GO WITH
OUT ARMS.

The leaders OF the Boy Scouts OF
America are taking active measures t.
discourage boys fro mcarrying rifles
and rcvolvers. Boy Scouts are not sup
posed To carry arms. Whenever re-
ports como to the National Headquar-
tcrs conccning any patrol or troop Of
boys who are said TO be carrying rifles,
an Investigation is made ut once, and
the scout master or commissioner hav-
ing supervision of the boys is asked
to see To IL that the boys no longer
carry the arms.
The report came to headquarters re-
Gently that a troop Of Boy Scouts in
Albany were carrying, Springfield
rifles; that their officers were named,
captains. lieuteRslnts. colonies, and the
like. Straghtway, James Il. West,
Chief Scout Executive. wrote to L. L..
Miller, scout commissioner for Albany,
asking him to investigate the affair
In this letter he said:
Il am very much surprised that any
scout master should take upon him.
self the responsibility of injuring the
scout movement by having his boys
use rifles when wearing the scout uni
form. AS YOU undoubtedly know, this
is directly contrary to all of our regu-
latons and has caused great deal OF
Misunderstanding. and necessarily will
huu us very much. If this scout
master believes Il Is essential to the
interest of his group of boys that they
have rifles, | would suggest that he
affiliate with the Boys Brigade or some
other military organization. This or
ganization cannot afford to have his
troop of scouts as scouts appear with
rifles Possibly some plan can be
worked cut whereby they can get such
military drill as they desire by hav-
ing different and separate organiza-
uon for this line of their activity
without breaking up their interest in
The Scout Movement"
