for evil. Scouting takes the boy as
he is-a red-blooded rolicking bundle
Of energy that will just burst unless
controlled and directed, and instead
of applying a system of chou shalt
nots' give him a real boy substitute
for the thing denied and let him at ii
with all his powers.
How many in the world make real
good husbands but poor fathers, be-
cause they so soon forget that they
were once boys themselves and fail
to make a chum and companion of
that boy? How many houses people
live IN and how few real homes in the
chummy best sense? So that the
Scout program seldom says don't to
a boy-Just supplies the opportunity
for initiative, which the boy Graves
and red-blooded program that will
develop and bring out the best that
is in him.
Living conditions today are not
what they were when father was a
boy, and the boy is the victim, and so
IS the girl, of present-day civilization.
We have crept in from the life of the
open into pent-up houses, industrial
development has forced the boy on
the street, in cities especially the
opportunity for healthful, clean, in
MIGRATING recreation is limited, and
we find the pool rooms and small al
ley stores with their slot machines
and various gambling devices, other
questionable places of amusement the
hang-out and ultimately the school
for the boy.
The Scout program meets the boy,
not by making a SISSY" out of him,
but by showing him his powers and
how best to conserve and develop
them. The things the boy Graves is
the right of sef-eXpression in a boys
way. He needs vigorous physical
life, leadership during the years when
crime and religion alike recruit their
greatest numbers, his leisure hours
filled with purposeful games, study
and directed recreation. He needs in
formation on all subjects to answer
his ceaseless and countless questions.
He needs the gang instinct which God
gave him turned into socially produc-
tive channels. His habits, rapidly
forming, need moral and social atten-
ton; his thoughts need to be aroused
and his pet hobbies cultivated. All
this and more, too, he finds in the
work of Scouting. Vocational guild
ance is provided. The question is,
What are you going to be?" is con-
stantly presented in the study of the
sixty merit badges which are, after
all, sixty birds eye views of worth
while professional and occupational
pursuits.
Then the work of Scouting has a
moral and religious urge. The Scout
oath apd laws, which is the moral
groundwork of Scouting, teach a bow
to do his duty to his God, to keep him
self physically clean and morally
straight. 1t is strategy of the first or
der to place boy during his Adde'S
cent period in a group that has for its
foundation and fellowship a sincere
regard for the oath and law that has
high religious and mora ltone.
A boys religion is characterized by
reality-a boy wants to know that
you mean what you say. Religion to
boy is simply to do what is right
and keep from doing wrong. A boys
religion may be concrete, simple and
masculine in form. A boy deals in
but few generalities; goodness ap-
