Contributions for the work proper represent support of a group of
people who it is hoped are willing to continue their help until the Move-
ment can b6 made self-supporting. Substantial progress to this end is
being made each year.
Of the amount received during the past year $15,740 was on account
of subscriptions made in the special financial campaign conducted in
December, 1914. On December 31, 1915, there remained but $1,315 un-
paid on account of subscriptions made during that special campaign.
It is very gratifying to report that $424.87 of the contributions re-
ceived came from Scoutmasters and other scout workers actively working
with boys.
The contributors' list for the year 1915 represents 463 persons.
Under the direct supervision or with the cooperation and help of the
National Council officials 33 special financial campaigns were conducted
in various parts of the country for scout work. These campaigns re-
sulted in securing $392,816. This of course does not include money con-
