with comforting on George johnson,

.tional field executive of the Boy
Scouts Of America, he is the first
boy in tine his>ory of the Boy Scouts
of America who fulfilled the require
nent Of an Eagle Scout in twelve
months after he became Boy Scout.
AS a matter Of fact, he met the re-
quirements in less than IL months,

months membership before one can
become an Eagle Scout. Georges

Der n, but it was decided to wait
for anniversary week to confer the
badge on him,
Five days Of exercises will mark
