THE WHY OF BOY SCOUTING.

With funds for its mainten
ance during the coming year as
sured. the Bov Scout movemen'
in Chiekasha has entered upon /
new era. Active efforts are under
way TO enlarge the membership
and extend the benefits Of th,
organization to more boys. Par
ents, teachers and all who tax,
an interest in the welfare of the
boys of the community should en-.
courage the movement. The en-
tire nation is beginning to awali-
en- to the possibilities of the Boy
Scouts. In this connection we
have seen no better exposition ol
the benefits of scouting than a
"Credo" prepared by f, B. De
Groot, scout executive, OF Los
Angeles. Mr.. De Groot says, 1
believe in the Boy Scouts OF
America" for the following rea-
sons:
Because, hundreds of thou
sands strong, boy scouts stand
organized, trained and resolved
to serve God, native land and all
mankind;
Because scouting reveals the
way, quickens the pace and illu-
inmates the path that leads to
the truest and noblest Ameri-
canization of American boys;
Because the chosen play ground
of boy scouts is the Great Unde-
filed Out-of-Doors-anidst the
everlasting hills, rocks and rills;
Because scouting arouses an in
terest III the highest civic aspira-
tions Of lie communlfr. develops
an abiding passion for law n or
der. champions respt = prop
crly constituted autho and
marshals the Yl ues OF Aanhood
that guarantee u governments Of
the people, by the people and for
the people;
Because motto, oath, law and
knife Of scouting help boys cut
their paths, straight and clean
through the itching, burning,
restless years of awkward |
growth;
Because scouting helps boys to
know, revere and commune with
Nature-even rs The barefoot
boy" drank of the nectar of life;
Because scouting challenges
body and soul-warpiug child la
Dor, routs making idle
ness, and fills ihe self-directed
hours of boyhood with lie, liber
ty, and the pursuit of happiness
Because scouting teaches that
kindness is strength-knows no
fear and helps others at all times
and that dumb animals claim
the fellowship of all true scouts;
Because scouting is a school of
play, preparedness and patriot
ism that fashions the bodies,
minds and characters of boys, to
do or die;
Because scouting whispers to
boys to tackle every job with the
tools of cheerfulness, patience,
obedience and loyalty
and mastery will be theirs be-
,ause they are prepared"
Because scouting is a plan of
.ducation that bridges the gap
'etween knowing and doing,
rings forward the timid and
umbles the bully, makes the
yeak strong and the strong
tronger, and crowns physical
ourage with moral valor;
Because scouting embodies
ode of selfdiscipline that com
ands boys to talk clean, live

Because scouting is a mighty
lttress to home and school. and
