Scout Master C. E. Moe Urges
Support of Parents and Civic
Organizations in Work.
SCOUT WEEK STARTS SUN.

in Glasgow in an Effort to En-
thuse Youths and Their Parents
in Organization Work.

National Boy Scout Week COM
mences on Sunday, February 9Th and
ends Saturday evening, February 18th.
Owing to the abnormality Of conditions
in the northern part of the state, the
past few seasons, the interest in Boy
Scout work in Valley county has un-
fortunately been allowed to secede
somewhat, and it is this condition
which has aroused Scoutmaster C. E.
Moe to an urgent appeal for enthus-
iastic support of the local troops.
Although, it may not be possible in
Glasgow to put into operation for
National Scout week, as elaborte a
program as may be staged in some
other Montana centers, there is an
opening for a most logical observance
of the event.
"The membership of the local troop"
states Scoutmaster Moe, "is not nearly
what it should be. Where there are
3S enrolled now there should in this
city be three times that number of
members. 1t is our purpose to make
National Scout Week time for the
building up of bigger and much bet
ter organization, and time of plan
ming the coming seasons activities"

The Boy Scouts of America were
first organized in 1910, and have a
present membership of 100000. In
addition there are 10000 men as
members. Still we are all "boys.'
And so. when we use the term "boys"
we do so in more than the children
sense. No man can ever outgrow the
limits which the principles of the Boy
Scouts of America involve. There is
always. room at the top.

article in the Scouting Magazine" ;"
