EDITORIALLY SPEAKING
38 Years of Scouting
This is rather blunt. We hope, however, that you will take it in the spirit intended.
The Boy Scouts of America will be 38 years old on February 8th--a date to remember. The boys, their parents and leaders will celebrate Boy Scout Week with them.
Will we?
If, as so many of us do, we take the Boy Scouts for granted, they'll mark the occasion by themselves. For nearly four decades we have seen the Scouts quietly performing worthwhile service. Have we really watched—and appreciated?
Certainly, the boys themselves ask for no specific recognition-their "Daily Good Turns" have always been without any reimbursement . . . "A Scout is helpful." Nevertheless, do they not merit more than a friendly, distant approval or a casual acceptance of their efforts to be better citizens, a model for all?
Their theme this year is: "The Scout Citizen at Work: In His Home, His Community, His Nation, and His World."
Let's focus our thoughts on them now-give them our whole-hearted support now and help them succeed in their character-building mission the year 'round.
