VETERAN SCOUTS ORGANIZING

Countrywide interest is being
aroused In the effort to register all
boy scouts and scout workers, eligible
for membership. In the Veteran Scout
association. This Is new develop
ment which promises to be of great
significance In scouting. Membership
in this association is open to all first
class scouts and to all scout officials
Of total of five years service. Here
tofore the organization Of this associ-
alton has been rather loose, but Of
late there has been a movement, which
is now rapidly spreading, to organize
the veteran scouts Of each city into
corps. 1t is estimated that nearly
10000 men and older boys are eligible.
The Veteran Scout Corps Of Phil
adelphia is now, perhaps, the most
fully developed Of any. Horace p.
Kern, assistant scout executive, de-
scribes 1t in part as follows:
1.-THE local members of the Veteran
Scout association have organized
themselves into corps which holds
regular sessions twice year. At,
each Of these sessions some entertain
ment feature is provided, or program
of Renaissance besides these regular
sessions. An interesting feature OF
the organization of the corps is the
class plan by which are listed In the
same group all who became veterans
the same year; for instance, we have
the classes Of 1915, 1916. etc. Each
one Of these classes is organized with
a chairman, and has agreed 20 under
take some service to scouting In gen.
eral. The corps, as whole, has Of
fered its service TO aid new scout
masters or to act temporarily for
scoutmasters who may be called away
from their troops"
Many other councils have organ
tied, or are planning to do so along
these lines. This gives national plan
for organizing which will retain the in
terest Of the older boys. This Is
something the need for which has
long been felt and which promises
to do much to strengthen the effective
ness of scouting. Plans are now being
considered for the Standardization OF
the local veteran scout corps, and for
their definite registration at the ma
tional scout office.

Mr.. HARDING ENDORSES SCOUTS

President-elect Warren G.. Harding
in a letter addressed to Lieut.. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, member Of the
executive board of the Boy Scouts OF
America, gives his enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the boy scout movement
and expresses the wish that every boy
in America might be in the organiza-
ton. This is Mr.. Harding's letter:
II am with the scout movement
heart and soul. 1t Is an organization
teaching of spirit of service and honor
which we must always have In our
citizenship. 1t Is school of our
democracy because in 1t standing Is
won only by taking the equal oppor-
tunity given all individuals to show
their own merit, capacity and worth.
I wish every boy In our America could
have the advantage and the honor OF
being In the boy scout organization
and Of learning therein that co-opera-
ton, justice. the customs Of fair play
and the gentleness of good manner.
make for peace and growth as distin-
guished from the results of disorgani-
zation and selfishness and cowardice'
which lead to contentious and con-
flict."
When Mr.. Harding enters the White
House he will automatically become
honorary president Of the Boy Scouts
of America, as has each president
since the organization. Retiring pres
idents become honorary vice presi-
dents Of the boy scouts. In addition
to being an honorary vice president.
President Roosevelt was chief scout
citizen at the time of his death.

MORE MODEST SCOUT HEROES.

The newspapers in and around New
York printed articles recently about a
modest hero,' who after saving
George Marduley Of Rutherford. N. j.,
from drowning in the surf near Long
Beach, L. l., disappeared in the crowd.
Some days afterward 1t was learned
that the modest hero" really was two
modest heroes and both Of them Boy
