The Part That the Man Plays
Over every troop is q volunteer
scoutmaster. There are 1905
scoutmasters in the country to-
day,-mature, red blooded men of
character-who are unselishly
giving their time to this service;
and 1888 assistant scoutmasters.
Training courses for scoutmas-
tiers are found in many of the
leading universities, colleges and
theological Summaries.
About $4,000 men of all profess
sions and businesses are acting in
local communities as members Of
troop committees, fathering local
troops, members of the local coun-
ellis, courts of honor and special
examiners, etc. Each one Of these
local councils has one or more
representatives on the National
Council, which is composed of over
1000 men.
