SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
and its Executive Board and its various representatives have
been accepted by the scout field almost without question, and
from every source we have had evidence of good will, apprecia-
tion, and the most hearty cooperation.
The numerous details incident not only to the general ad-
ministration of the National Movement, but to our increased
development and the drafting of our Constitution and By-Laws
and passing upon other questions incidental thereto have in-
volved innumerable meetings of the various standing committees
and the Executive Board. The amount of personal service given
in this way has been tremendous. When it is remembered that
a large number of the members of the Executive Board are from
outside of New York City and must spend considerable time in
traveling in order to attend meetings, the extent of their devo-
tion to the cause will be better realized. Our President, for
instance, has, since the organization of the Movement, attended
every meeting of the National Council and Executive Board with
but one exception, and on that occasion it was because of matters
beyond his control.
Your Executive Officer would have been powerless in meet-
ing the demands upon him but for the sympathetic and cordial
support and good fellowship shown by the members of the
Executive Board and all of the members of the Headquarters
Staff. The appreciation of the organization is due to the men
who in the Field Department, Supply Department, Department
of Publications, and in other capacities at the National Head-
quarters, with the aid of an efficient corps of workers, are meet-
ing the daily grind and contributing their "bit" to make possible
the most wonderfully productive Movement for the benefit of
boys the world has ever known.
An examiner in First Aid was shocked when he received, in answer to a
question: "To stop bleeding from a wound on the head apply a tourni-
quet around the neck"! But Scouts use the method shown in the picture
