BOY SCOUTS AND RELIGION

scouting presents greater opportuni-
Ties for the development of the boy re-
| hgiouSly than does any other move
ment instituted solely for the boys. Its
aim to develop the boy physically, men
taiiy and morally is being realized very
| widely.
The movement has been develOped
on such broad lines as TO embrace oll
classes, all creeds, and ut the same
time To allow the greatest possible in
dependence to Individual orsaniza-
tons, officers and boys.
The Boy Scouts of America maintain
mat no boy can grow into the best
Kind of citizenship without recognize
ing his obligation to God. As an Or
Eahized body, therefore, ii recognizes
the religious element in the training Of
boy, but it is absolutely nOnsectarion
IN It's attitude toward that religions
training. If he he Roman Catholic
.boy scout, the church of which he is n
member Is the best channel for his
training. If he be Hebrew bov. then
the synagogue will train him in the
Iaith OF his fathers. If he be Profess
taht' no matter to what denomination
OF Professionalism he may belong, ehe
church of which he is an adherent or
member should be the proper orgapi-
cation to give him an education in the
things that pertain to his allegiance to
God.
And again. the observance Of the
scout law. the tremendous collective
volume of daily good turns" and the
creation of better feeling among mil
hons Of scouts of our own and other
lands constitute latent but powerful
and rapidly growing factor for uniyer-
sal good will and peace.
