"The pilgrim age to the tomb of Roosevelt was a lesson in patriotism of the kind that makes for better citizenship, which is fundamental object of the boy scout movement. President Roosevelt had all the picturesque qualities of a boys hero. He was an out-Of-dOors man, buckskin man, explorer true scout of the old American type; beloved by boys, and was always interested in things boys are interested in. The purpose is to impress upon the boys that participated, and through them to impress upon other boys those splen- did qualities of character of Theodore Roosevelt as shown by the events in his life which it should be the aim of every American boy to follow.

SCOUTS AT ROOSEVELT GRAVE

Boy scouts within a radius Of fifty miles of New York city made memo rial pilgrimage to the grave of Theo- dore Roosevelt on Friday, Nov. 26, the day following Thanksgiving. The pill grimage was under the leadership of Daniel Carter Beard, national scout commissioner, who was one of the very close friends of President Roosevelt.
 Each boy scout council in this ter ritory selected a delegation of indlv1d- ual honor scouts and troops. The num- Der that participated reached several thousand. It is proposed to make the trip an annual memorial in honor of the man who was the American boys ideal, and who was at one time honor- ary president of the Boy Scouts of America, and was known as the Chief Scout Citizen.
 The scouts were transported from their various local headquarters to Oyster Bay in automobiles, trains and by boat. They mobilized there and then hiked to Sagamore Hill and to the Roosevelt tomb, where appropriate scout memorial services were held, with addresses by several speakers, iD- cluding Lieut.-Col. Theodore Roose- welt, who recently became member of the executive board of the boy scouts organization and shares his fathers enthusiasm for scouting.
 ''The memorial hike was not only a gracious tribute to the memory of a great man who understood boys as few others have. but was a fine thing for
