War Service Medal Given To Scouts
Most enthusiastic reports are being received from all parts of the Council Area on the General Eisenhower Waste Paper Campaign. Several Troops report collections of 20 tons or more in March. Many others have reported 12 to 15 tons "in the bag"-at the half way mark.
The General Eisenhower medal is the first and only War Service decoration made available to Scouting during World War II. It is a very handsome medal and every Cub and Scout is keen on earning one.
The leaders of all Packs and Troops are responsible for organizing the campaign among their boys. It is up to the leadership of every Troop and Pack to make the opportunity available to its membership.
There is still time for late comers to participate in the current campaign and qualify for the awards. The month of April should produce even better results than those reported in March.
Scoutmasters and Cubmasters must return their completed report forms to the local Council office on or before May 12. It isn't necessary, however, to await the May 12 deadline, and a report may be filed at any time after the unit's quota has been made. It is urged, of course. that all units continue their collecting through April even though their campaign quotas already may have been reached.
