of self-reliance, resourcefulness
and those qualities essential in
men of character trained for the
responsibilities of citizenship. As
a means of emphasizing the op-
portunity of each Council for the
extension of this effective means
of education, it is urged that
Councils develop procedures which
make everyone responsible con-
scious not only as to the number
of boys who have the advantages
of camping, but likewise the num-
ber who do not.
Keep the Faith
We are sad in heart, but we are
calm and fully prepared to go
forward with the program of
Scouting in a way which we hope
will bring satisfaction to every
Scout and Scouter and reflect great
credit upon the type of training
which Scouting fosters.
Let us at this time keep defi-
nitely in mind our brother Scouts
and all suffering humanity
throughout the World, especially
those who have suffered invasion
or the hardships of war. Let us
remember them in our prayers,
regardless of their race or creed
in the spirit of our Twelfth Scout
Law:
"A SCOUT IS REVERENT. He
is reverent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties, and
respects the convictions of others
in matters of custom and religion."
We must keep the faith.
A SCOUTMASTER'S
CREED
T PROMISE to treat your boy as
I would treat my son, and dur-
ing the limited period he is under
my guidance, to instruct him in
the ways of Scouting. To encour-
age him to inculcate into his life
the Scout Oath and the Scout Law
—they being but the concentrated
essence of American ideals and
manhood.
I will be fair to him and shall
insist that he be fair to me. I shall
demand from him obedience and
respect, but in return I shall re-
spect his rights and privileges. I
shall chide him when he is lax.
and I shall try to reward him with
encouraging words when he de-
serves them.
All these things I shall try to
do, and because they are my ideals
and my desires, they will accom-
plish some good, no doubt; but in
a larger sense, I shall fall far short
in many things. In the first place,
I am not a god, and in the second
place, I am not that which to your
boy is next to God—his parent. I
am only a camera lens that flut-
ters before his eyes for a brief
moment, and tries in that moment
to give a fleeting glimpse and, if
possible, a lasting impression of
things worth while. In short, I'm
only a Scoutmaster.
