CHIEF SEA SCOUT REPORTS.

At the last national council meet
ing the chief sea scout, James A.
Wilder, made this report:
I'VE have found our sea legs. After
some backing and filling as to ths
best methods, we have, with the cd
vice Of some 400 executives, and 9th
ers, settled on the course to be steered.
This decision has steadied the sea-
coast program and the taffrall log be-
gins to register more speed. NoVem-
Der, 1920, was our banner month, fol-
lowed by the record breakers, Deem
Der and January, 1920 and 1921. AS
we go to press, February, 1921, has al
ready broken the record again. We
have registered more ships in the last
five months than in the previous three
years. This is at the rate of ITO per
cent increase annually.
I'VE have the assurance that the
seacoast program is being pushed az
the official older boy program, In 81
cities. Ships papers or preliminary
steps have already been taken by 104
scout centers. In some cities, notably
San Francisco, Honolulu and others.
the program has been under way for
several years without the registry of
single ship, because Of vote to
thoroughly train leadership before ad
hitting boys to membership. The sea-
scouts, at the rate we are growing at
present, will be 200 ships" In 1922. II
the last four months increase in our
number is maintained we will be-
