JUST WHAT BOY SCOUT WEEK IS
How You Can Help

The Boy Scout Movement has given
organized boyhood a place alongside
the Red Gross and other great or
CARNATIONS as National institution.
In order to extend its benefits more
rapidly to the millions of American
boys who, because of lack of volun-
teer leadership. are still without the
training of the Boy Scout program,
Hon. w. G. McAdoo and eminent
gentlemen he has associated with
himself as members of the Citizens
National Committee, working in CO.
operation with the National Council
of the Boy Scouts of America, pur-
suant to proclamation by the Presi-
dent of the United Staes, have formu-
lated a program for nationwide
Boy Scout Week beginning Sunday,
June 9Th, and continuing through to
Flag Day, June 14th.
This will be the first nationwide
appeal on a comprehensive plan for
the support of the Boy Scout move
ment. Scouting has been developed
and operated for the last nine years
practically on a selfsupporting basis.
Income from registrations, supplies,
and so forth, have about covered run
ming expenses. Field and extension
work alone have been dependent up
on volunteer contributions.
Become a Member Yourself
The first objective of this campaign
is to secure 100000 Associate Mem
bers of the National Council, Boy
Scouts of America as an assurance of
enlarged usefulness.
This Associate Membership is Of
fered to mothers and fathers of
American boys and other adult
American citizens upon payment of
$100 or more as membership dues;
in effect and in spirit a contribution
to the Movement, the amount to be
determined by each individual The
Associate Membership, however, is an
actual legal identification with the
National body, without voting privi-
leges which. by the constitution and
bylaws of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, belong only to regularly elected
members of the National Council. q
1t is expected that besides the
financial support which this new
will give the organization
many associate members will volun-
teer as scoutmasters, assistant scout
members of troop committees
and members of local councils; and
that many others will be active in
new troops of Scouts in
with their churches,
schools and other institutions and,
where necessary, Independently of
Institutions.
