to assist in the work required Re
sponsibility is inoculated in their
training so that they can face almost
any circumstance which may arise.
A weakness in the national organ
ization, Mr.. Warren stated, placed it
where it could not give the assist
ance and attention throughout the
country necessary. This weakness
developed because the Scout move
ment grew so much faster than it had
been anticipated. 1t came on so rap
idly the national council had not the |
means nor the men to properly give
the attention due each community. |
This required leaving a great deal of |
the local work in the hands of scout |
masters who had volunteered in the
work. They had been overworked
and were without the proper assist
ance, due to the lack Of understand
ing what it was, among those who
did not look into the Scout movement
thorough enough. In this manner
many of the scout troops had been al
lowed to lag and even become disor-
ganized.
The present program of handling
troops had been worked out after ten
years of trials and study, Mr. War
ren stated, and it is believed to be-
now as near perfection as can be
reached. Under the present plan it
is desirable that every church or
ganization in a city form a troop
This troop has behind it the assist
ance of a committee Of men who help
the scout-master in the work. Boys
/, are taught bookkeeping, electrical
p engineering and ether lines of work.
The men Of the committee are called
| upon to give one hour Of their time
) each month to examining boys who
/ have been studying. Through this
5 method the business smen Of a city
] learn of the Importance Of the scout
: work. In every city where the scout
troops are fully developed the men OF
affairs are ready to give Of their
time, Mr.. Warren stated, to help, foI
$ they know the value of the work.
