tional understanding and cooperation
and toward world peace."
Elder Delbert Leon Stapley, member
of the Council of Twelve, Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and
adviser to the YMMIA: "Scouting is a
rich, rewarding, and helpful experience
for boys. It develops good citizenship,
duty to God, and choice character traits
and qualities. It is a real builder of
young men for God and country."
Don L. Jordan, chairman of the
board, National Association of Manu-
facturers: "Why should business and
industry help achieve Scouting's Break-
through for Youth? Every year we
manufacturers spend millions on indus-
trial and sales training. But our training
can produce only the technical skills. It
does not produce the responsible, reli-
able personality to give meaningful
production to those skills—but Scout-
ing does. Scouting helps build good citi-
zens, good neighbors; men who know
how to work, how to get along with
others, how to lead."
BIG challenge
The Big D Annual Meeting like all
Annual Meetings of the B.S.A. made
the participants extremely proud of the
record, progress, and program of their
favorite youth movement. But Annual
Meetings also set the stage for future
action and continued progress—and
they send delegates back home with a
bigger will and ability to labor for the
boys of our nation.
"The Boy Scouts of America has
capabilities for resources unlimited,"
proclaimed Chief Brunton. "Our big
job is to harness them and use them
effectively. The very time in which we
live suggests a sense of urgency, and
each of us must accept—because of
who we are and what we stand for—
the personal responsibility for the fu-
ture of this movement .... Nothing
we have ever done before will be good
enough again."
At the closing session, Dr. John
Henry Fischer summarized answers to
a question that had been posed to all
delegates. The question: "Back home,
there are boys about whom you are
very much concerned. What should be
done to bring more of them the bene-
fits of Scouting?" Here is a small part
of Fischer's summary, challenging all
Scouters:
"We must determine how to make
Scouting more inclusive, how to bring
it to those boys who we have not yet
learned to reach. The fault is not in the
lad. The fault is in us for not being as
clever as we should be about adapting
the possibilities of Scouting to the
needs, to the conditions, to the anxieties
of these boys.
"We must make Scouting more rele-
vant. We must be sure that it is rele-
vant in terms of the conditions, the
facts, the life of these days. It was
relevant in 1910 and in 1916. We
must ask ourselves whether it is equally
relevant to conditions of life today.
"Scouting must be made more effec-
tive . . . because this is a world of
efficiency. We must compete, and if
we are not competing we can expect to
be surpassed.
"Is our inner-city congested? What
better opportunity could there be than
to find enough boys to form a unit
within a short space.
"Are our rural boys neglected? When
was there ever more readiness in the
United States to cope with that prob-
lem.
"Is automation providing our peo-
ple with more leisure and reducing
working hours? What better source of
volunteer manpower could we possibly
ask for?
"Are we worried about the loss of
personal identity in a world which in-
creasingly moves toward massism?
What better opportunity could there be
for a man to find his own life than to
help boys find theirs?" □
