THE SCOUT MOTTO
BE PREPARED"

Upon this oath, law, and motto the
entire program Of the Scouts is made
up and after passing the various re-
quirements the scout must take this
oath together with knowing these
laws before he can become a Boy
Scout.
"a Scout learns by doing" and he
learns to prepare himself to meet all
emergencies. He can save life, con-
troll crowds, apply first aid, fight fires,
apply his religious duties in his every
day life and is required to do a daily
good turn each day
To make this program a success
leaders are needed to devote all
their time to extending this organi-
cation into places it hasn't reached,
this requires compensation for these
workers, a large Office force is
maintained Scoutmasters and other
local committeeman offer their serv-
ices voluntary so the next time
the Scoutmaster asks for your sup
port, take under consideration the
oath the boy is under, the laws Of this
organization that governs him and
then support his plans or boost his
movement. If you did not contribute
to this financial drive they are having,
when they have another, think Of what
Roosevelt said, "If you are going to
do anything permanent for the man,
you got to begin before he is man.
Work with the boy and not the man,
if you would take the greatest chances
of success.
