ATTITUDE ON SUNDAY HIKE.

The position of the National
Council on the question Of the en-
croachment Of Scout activities on
Scouts participation in Sunday SER
vices has again been forcibly called
TO mind by the recent exchange Of
the following letters From the Of
fee Of the Presiding Bishop and
Council Of the Protestant Episcopal
church. New York City. comes 10
the Boy Scout National Office the
following:
There IS one difficulty that I
have found in my parochial work in
connection with Boy Scouts. 1t came
from weekend trips which took the
boys away from church on Sunday
morning. For instance, l did not
dare let my choir get organized into
the Boy Scouts because 1 realized
that some Sunday morning we would
perhaps be without them. I think
there ought TO be a very strong po-
sition taken that no Boy Scout &C
tivity should encroach upon Sun
day morning. This may seem a
small matter but it is a practical one
and I assure you in parish work
looms large"
In reply the Chief Scout Executive
wrote:
I am so glad that you have writ
ten me frankly with reference to the
difficulty you are experiencing in
connection with cooperation of the
churches and Boy Scouts. l am par
ticularly happy to tell you that we
have taken a very strong position on
the encroachment of Boy Scout act
ivities with Scout duty 20 participate
in Sunday service" Reference was
made also to a resolution by the
Blue Ridge Conference of Scout EX-
cutives on what is the best thing
TO do on Sunday. as follows: Re
solved, that the National Council
record its disapproval of programs
as for weekend hikes or camps
which preclude the attendance of
Scouts at religious services. or
which cause loss of credits for the
individual. patrol or troop. if the
Scout elects to remain at home to at
tend church. The Boy Scout move
ment will keep faith with the
churches of whatever creed or de-
nomination"
