 Campaign Approved
 The Campaign Executive Commit tee, met recently, approved the Campaign and handled various pre- liminary phases of the effort
 "The Boy Scouts of America has given Alaska the go signal and our various volunteer leaders are now looking forward to establishment of a Territorial Administration of two trained scout executives who will provide them with sorely need ed training in the best methods of carrying on the program said Dr. Whitehead. We need to maintain cur Scouting on high degree of eff fectiveness as well as to provide units under trained volunteer lead CTS which literally thousands of ad- ditional Alaska boys can be invit- ed to join. Among boys of Cub and Scout age we know at least 75 per cent intensely desire to become active members. This can only hap pen if we have trained leaders.
 The minimum necessary annual budget for the Territory is between $1O,0O0 and $12,0O0. Judging from the determined manner in which the Executive Committee and team captains have accepted their res possibilities in the Campaign am confident scores of Juneau pco- pie will rally to the cause which needs our attention more today than ever before" Dr. Whitehead said.
 Last Territory
 Amby Frederick, the first scout executive to reside in Alaska. has been serving the Territory since March l. Recently Mrs. Frederick and their two children joined him and they are making their home in Juneau. Success of the financial ef- fort will determine whether or not the service can be continued and an assistant Executive secured. Alaska is the last of the Territories to or ganize for this intensive type of service The other Territories and the States have been compl.- Ny or ganized for a number of yeas.
 At the present time the Territory has established units which can take care of only 10 per cent of our boys who want Scouting, while the country at large gives opportunities to much greater number.
 Trains Character
 T am happy to see this develop ment being carried forward under pr. Whitehead's able leadership. Having been closely identified with the Scout program here for a num- Der of years, I am convinced the time has come when we Alaskans should bend every effort to encour- age this great American youth movement which develops men of character, trained for citizenship" said former district chairman Charles G. Burdick who is serving on the executive committee.
 Each team captain is organizing team of ten men. The entire cam paign organization will launch the effort with complimentary break fast Wednesday morning.
