The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1921-02-04
With the Alert Boy Scouts of Maui

80
The following report on scouting
was read by Clinton S. Childs, eXeCu-
tive secretary, to the members OF
Maui Council in annual meeting last
week.
The yea 1920 will stand out for a
long time as the most important i'm the
history of the scouting movement on
Maui. 1t has seen the employment of
Mr.. Hutton as scout commissioner,
bringing to us the many years of eX-
perience which he has had in scouting
as well as long years of experience
in other forms Of boys work, and his
happy, genial, service-loving disposi-
ton. In the months that Mr.. Hutton
has been at work among US, the
amOunt of ginger and zest hat has
grown up among the boys has found 4
very marked expression in the develop
ment of The work. Already the intlu
ence of his work is distinctly notice
able in the conduct of a number Of
boys who We're formerly giving a good
deal OF trouble.
To Checkerboard Maui
There are % three troops that are
regularly registered at New York
H~cadsuarters, and eight other troops
which are regularly organized but
have not yet got far enough along to
be registered. In these troops there
are a total OF 1SS boys. all under the
leadership OF scoutmasters. They are
located az Waikiki, Puunene, Paia Ma
kawao, kahului, Spreckelsyille 'Lahai-
MAJ, h|ipahulu, Waihee and Puulolii.
In addition, there are groups of
boys at KaupO, Waikapu, Hamakuapo-
ko and kula who have asked us TO or
game them, but to whom Mr.. Hut
ION has not yet been able 10 so.
In other words, we are checker
boarding aMui with Boy Scouts as fast
as we can get leaders to carry the
boys along in their district. The time
is not far distant when there will be
several hundred boys between the
ages OF l. and Is who will be meeting
weekly TO learn how TO do useful
things, To receive practical lessons OF
morality, taking the exercises and
learning the lessons of hygiene which
will make them healthy and teach
them how to keep healthy. Not only
mat, but intoxicating in them d love Of
home, a devotion TO Maui and yenerG-
uon Tor the United States. One hun
dTod n eiShty-eight boys now are
daily promising to be trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean
in mind and body, and reverent.
Some of these troops have their
committees formed, Il few have not.
We need committeeman and scout
masters badly. They are the cruX OF
the work and we hope that Maui will
respond to this great need.
Work Done in Year
During the past year we conducted
a small camp OF 10 boys at Honolua
Park for two weeks, and the council
owns a very good camping equipment
as a start for his year. AT the time
of the fair about 80 boys responded to
the call for help sent out by the Fair
Association. l think everyone is
agreed that the services these boys
rendered We're of inestimable value.
Too much praise cannot be given the
boys and their scoutmaSters, Kan and
Tamanaka who worked both night and
day with their assistants.
In the three months that Mr.. Hut
ton has been at work he has arrang-
ed for a section in the Maui papers
for Scout news, and has put oil
~twenty-eight full columns through
these papers, which have helped very
materially to stimulate the interest
of the boys and the public generally,
Recommendations Made
The recommendations which we
would make for 1921 are as follows:
With Respect to Organization:
Mr.. Puck has resigned as scout con
missioner and Mr.. Hutton has sent il
his application as commissioner fol
Maui. This council should at this
time officially appoint Mr.. Hutton as
its commissioner.
Mr.. b. o. Visit wishes to resign as
Deputy Commissioner for the Lahain;
district, and the District Committed
there recommends Mr.. G. L. Bowkel
to take over that Office. The Council
should appoint Mr., Bowker as recon-
mended.
1t is recommended that the Council
