ing on the scout work is about $4,000.
This money, Mr.. Evans stated, was
not all that is required to make it a
success. The business men Of the
city must give their time to the move
ment, put service into it, and work
with the troops in order that 1t shall
succeed.
The Boy Scout troops are not only
an organization, it is a movement of
great proportions, Mr.. Evans stated,
and must be entered into with more
than enthusiasm only. He expressed
the belief that the work can be ar
ried on In the three counties at a
financial outlay of approximately $5,-
900 annually. The work of the execu-
tive; he stated, is not to do all the
work with the troops, but to teach
the men how to do so, that they can
give their personal service to it. This
service will consist of working on
committees TO carr for the leader
