good citizenship, health and leadership
qualities in boys. It is not intended to
replace either the influence of the
home, the church or the school, but is
intended rather to supplement, CO.
ordinate and assist these institutions.

play and advancement which interest
him and holds him to high ideals of
thinking and living.
His Scout good turns to someone
every day makes him new friends-for
the way to have a friend is to be one.
His motto is BE Prepared" and he
thinks through in advance what he
would do in case Of an emergency or
accident and is prepared. In case
someone is injured he can help him
with his knowledge of first aid.
Every Scout pays an annual registra-
ton fee of fifty cents which pays for
his registration and membership certi-
ficates. He may also provide himself

cost in becoming and securing the
benefits of Scouting.
