More Men Are Needed
BY Paul Greve
This is Boy Scout Week.

This Is Boy Scout Week.
Founded in 1910, the Bo,
Scouts Of America is 49 year.
old. Today nearly s millior
boys and adults are participat
ing in the Boy Scout program
and, since 1910, the number Of
boys and adults who have beer
or are now members total.
more than % million.
Each period in history has its
special challenge for youth, an6
today this challenge is as com.
lplex as the complicated world
in which we live. 1t is not the
purpose Of Boy Scouting to re-
move the hurdles from the path
way Of youth, nor to lessen the
challenge which confronts
them. Rather, it is the purpose
Of Scouting to help boys recog-
nize the challenge and accept
lit, to surmount the hurdles.
What is this challenge, and
how can we help boys meet it =?
Isn't the challenge today to live
productivity in a world Of sci
|ence and rapid change? Move
ment and change are two ele-
ments that characterize the
period in which we live. These
factors will have a profound
effect upon all Of us, but par
ticularly upon youth.
We must help youth see tha4
in today's world change must
be sought, not fought. We must
help youth become adaptable
and flexible as they are con-
fronted with change. We must
help youth develop inquiring
minds - the urge to explore
new fields Of thought and ac-
tion. These qualities Of thought
and spirit are needed by all
young Americans who grow to
manhood in today's world, and
especially in the exploration of
new worlds of engineering and
science.
But as we strive to meet this
challenge, we must recognize
that it is not our function to
determine which boys should
undertake scientific careers.
However, we should open doors
for all boys to have experiences
in science-related fields and
help those who have strong in
terests to seek and obtain the
guidance of local experts in
scientific fields.
More than ever before, all
boys need the help and en-
couragement of capable adults
in exploring the worlds of work
and learning.
