! To those who always see the
Boy Scouts busily at work it comes
as surprise to know that tbs
scout has no work OF his own. That
lis. while he follows out a pro
gram designed to make him a good
! citizen and self-reliant one. he
is never engaged in any campaign
1 OF his own, he is never on parade
and he is never seen in quantity. II
lis an organization solely of service
for others-the Boy Scout Move
ment supplements the work OF
other organizations.
Have any OF them piece OF
work to ge carried out-the Boy
iScout helps. When there is a pa
rade Boy Scouts are seen not in
the line Of march but along the
route helping as ushers or as order
lies or in policing the lines. Al
Though he has many fine stunts
that go Well in public. he never eX-
hibits these solely for the purpo Sc
/; of showing off.
| He has taken an oath TO help
ether people at all times =. This
means service which is not always
easy or convenient to perform. He
is pledged to do q god turn daily"
| 1t may be an act Of soft-h earted
mess which ordinarily might call
forth jeers from juvenile compan-
/ ions, but when done by a Boy Scout
the yrecognize in its his perfor-
nance CT voluntary obligation and
lare silent. The cumulative eject
| of these hundreds Of thousands Of
daily god turns. amounting in the
year to many millions. is one of the
greatest forces making for kind
