The RELIGIOUS ELEMENT

The Boy Scouts Of America main.
tain that no boy can grow into the
best kind Of citizenship without recos-
nizing his obligation to God, according
TO the constitution and bylaws recent
~ ADOPTED by the incorporators. In the,
nrst part Of the boy scouts oath or
piedge the constitution states, the boy
promises, "On my honor I will do my
Dest to do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout law"
ihe recognition Of God as the ruling
and leading power In the universe, and
the grateful acknowledgment of his
1avors and blessings, is necessary to
the best type Of citizenship, and is a
wholesome thing in the education of
the growing boy. No matter what the
boy may be-Catholic or Protestant or
Jew-this fundamental need Of good
citizenship should be kept before him.
The Boy Scouts of America therefore
recognizes the religious element In the
training Of boy, but 1t Is absolutely
noh-sectarian In its attitude toward
that religious training. Its policy is
that the organization or institution
with which the boy scout is connected
shall give definite attention to his Es-
ligious life.

THINGS SCOUTS CAN DO.

Organize gardening clubs In your
school. Assist the school authorities
In planting plan for the whole school,
then make sure Of vacation instruc-
ton and supervision Of this garden.
A crop can't grow during three
months vacation without care, any
more than a healthy scout can take Il
weekend hike without food and water.
Each scout should organize an en-
ergency food conservation patrol. Sc
cure nine others not scouts to grow
some food products-men, women or
children eligible. Have each Of them
agree to do something as suggested In
this issue. There is no scout who
can't secure nine other people to Sc
lect and do at least one thing sug-
gested.
Get vacant lots to use and have your
scoutmaster assign them as requested
to anyone who applies. Real estate
dealers are glad to cooperate In many
cities. A weed patch this year should
be disgrace to community. A
"slacker" troop is a weed patch In
scouting. Get busy.
Let every patrol become Leaders
Reserve Corps. Impress the fact OF
your leadership on others. The great
est need I'm this food emergency cam
paign Is for leaders. 1t Is Of grave
Importance that everything possible
be done to furnish this leadership. A
scout never fails In an emergency.

ANY OLD CANES7

The American Girls Aid society
which has devoted Itself to the collec-
tiOn OF clothing and other materials
for French victims of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavOr to
collect canes to be used by the maimed
and crippled soldiers. There is big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands Of canes I'm the United States
which are not In use. If the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters OF the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue. New
York city, they will be appreciated.
1t is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes and
can develop artistic ability in making
up this material In serviceable form.

SCOUTS KNOW HOW.

A scout does not run away or call
for help when an accident occurs. If
a person is cut he knows how to stop
the flow of blood and gently and care
fully bind up the wound. II person
is burned his knowledge tells him how
to alleviate the suffering. II anyone
IS dragged from the water unconscious
a scout at once sets to work to restore
respiration and circulation. He knows
that not a minute can be lost.
