millions Of trained boys in America;
millions Of trained girls. Pay your
share to the greatest job on earth.
ITO employers, as business propo-
sition, boy trained in Scout discipline
and efficiency, is worth hundreds of
dollars more a year to you than one
not so trained. AS a business PROPOSE
ton you can not afford to turn this
opportunity down.
THE wise employer asks first, about
young man wanting job, whether
the boy has Scout record We want
more scouts and fewer gunmen. There
is no caste, no snobbishness, when boys
go to the woods together. Boys will
belong to gang or to Scout troop.
The boy who can take care of him
self IN the woods can take care of him
self anywhere. Boys sometimes run
away from home; they never run away
from camp! A Scouts uniform is the
mark of soldierly boy. A Boy Scout
is known by his good manners"
