Do people generally know that the
Boy Scouts of America is the greatest
single, volunteer organization in the
world? It was the largest organiza-
ton taking part in the two campaigns
for the Liberty Loan. There are mil

Since America went to war the
things that have happened to the Boy
Scouts of America and the part that
boy scouts all over the globe have
been called upon to play in pressing
forward the activities that will win
this war have made an epoch in the
boy life of this land and Of the
world.
War conditions demand an increase
in numbers and efficiency. There
should be 100000 Boy Scouts Of
