Scout oUEsTIONATRRE

Why do the biggest men in the
country endorse scouting
Because they are big enough TO
see big things. Scouting is a real
mans job
Does a boy have 20 belong 70 a
church If his troop happens TO meet
there2
OF course not Many OF our troops
have many different churches rep
resented.
DO all troops meet In churches
About half meet I'm churches. The
rest meet I'm schools.
How are troops formed and
backed
Any incorporated body desiring a
trooL' can have one. If that body will
furnish five troop committee men,
two scoutmasters and n few boys to
start with. They all grow when
properly started.
Why do most boys drop out of
scouting az 1852
Because they nave finished the
usual course Not many are natural
BOY leaders who are willing TO help
Younger boys Many do stick.
