The following letter to one of
our Council Executives from the
mother of a handicapped boy, tells
the story of a real Good Turn —
"Gentlemen:
"Last week I heard the latter
part of your program. It impressed
me because it seems to me that any
boy who was not a Scout would be
enticed by this type of program
alone. If only the Scout Ideals could
be instilled in the hearts of each
youth in our country they could
change the world. For the daily
good deed alone would overcome
and cancel all the evil.
"I am writing to call to your at-
tention the way one group has ap-
plied Scout principles. I am sure
they have no idea how much happi-
ness they are spreading, but I am
sure many mothers nightly ask God
to bless them.
"Mr. Harold Collett of 10735
Woodburn, Los Angeles, is Scout-
master of Troop 49 of the Crescent
Bay Area Council. This Troop,
under Mr. Collett, has a program of
regular visits to Mrs. Lippe's Sun-
nyrest School. This is a school for
handicapped boys. Some have phys-
ical deformities, others are just
slow learners, and others are like
my son, victims of cerebral palsy.
"The Scouts have formed a con-
tingent group among these boys.

INDIANCRAFT Since 1927

They take them on hikes, have them
visit their Troop rooms, visit the
school with regular Scout meetings,
etc. Your wildest imagination could
not picture the happiness this af-
fords these children, unless you
could see the pride with which they
exhibit their Scout cards, and hear
the talk after these meetings.
"I believe Mr. Collett and his
group should be highly commended
for not only are they bringing hap-
piness to these handicapped chil-
dren but they are actually partici-
pating in a therapeutic development
of many of them.
"I think the blessings will be
two-fold for I am sure that the
Scouts will not only benefit by ac-
quiring a knowledge and under-
standing of the handicapped but
they will also acquire tolerance and
a balance of values which only such
experience can give. I am a very
grateful mother, as I am sure are
the mothers of many others of these
children.
Sincerely, ..."
What more potent tools could a
Scoutmaster use to inculcate in his
Troop the spirit of understanding,
of sympathy, of brotherly compas-
sion for those in need, of the habit
of the Good Turn, than to develop
such a project as this? Here is the
spirit of Scouting come alive.
