BOY SCOUT PROGRAM IN ALASKA PROGRESSING.
 EXECUTIVE REPORTS

Considerable progress Is being made in the extension Of the Boy Scout and Clubbing Programs in Al aska since the inauguration of the Territorial Administration of Scout ing. according to Amby Frederick. Alaska Boy Scout Executive now in WrangelI.
 During the summer months 20 percent increase in the membership was recorded and this is usually a period when growth is at a mini- num- Two new troops have been registered during the last lew days, one at Anchorage and one at ho- uiak. Others are in the process of registration and a continuous ex- panison is forecast during the com ing months, Frederick said.
 More than 20O Scouts partieipat- ed in the Scout Camping program during the past sumner and troops are continuing with camping on a short term basis all year round.
 Alaskan Scouts participated in the two National Good Turns requested Of them by President Roosevelt in connection with national defense More than I.600,000 posters were distributed as a result of the first request and Scouts have partieipa- ted actively in aluminium cOllec- tIon campaigns.
 At present all Scouts are prepar- ing themselves for emergency ser vice and a splendid record of local community service has been re- corded in recent months.
 Prior 10 this year Alaska has been the only place under the American Flag which has not been under the supervision Of a Scout Executive. As a result the program was not being made available to all boys who wanted it, primarily because of a lack ot trained leadership for the troops.
 Early this year a sum of S6,0O0 was raised by outside sources to in- augurate the Territorial program until the movement could be set up under local Alaskan leadership. At the present time plans are under way to complete the organization as soon as funds have been secured to finance the progrom. Finance cam paigns have been held in Ketchi- kan, Juneau, FaiT banks, Anchorage, Seward and Cordoya and will be carried out in other Alaskan com munities.
