Adults Become Associate Scouts

Grown-ups may become associate
scouts. Parents and other adults in
terested in the scout movement may
take up scouting with the Boy Scouts
Of America. They may not become
active scouts, but they may be asso-
ciated with the movements and may
go on hikes, enjoy the outdoors and
incidentally take an active interest in
the plans for the development of the
boys
Interest in the outdoor life has been
aroused in grown-ups by the spread of
the scout movement. Because of the
enthusiasm which adults display, a
plan has been developed of having as
soc,ate members Of the Boy Scouts OF
America. II was devised by Georgl
