HOY SCOUT VVMUK
This is Boy Scout, Week. The
whole nation pauses' tu > alute the
organization which "ha.s contribut-
ed CO grcaly, in thin World War
as in the last, to the winning of
the War. But Scouting does not
rest on its. laurels. The praises
which Scouts' so justly have de-
served for their countless services
to thoir country only spur then
on to greater endeavor.
It is ’hard to see iiow Wai
Bonds and Stamps could be sold,
or vital materials salvaged, or all
the varied forms 'of printed infor-
mation distributed, without, he un-
tiring help of lose public serv-
ants. But there are higher servic-
es ahead. Almost 100,000 Scouts
are 15 years ohl or older; they
may change ranks to the armed
forces before the coflice is over.
The soldier who has been a
Boy Scout makes a better soldier,
and former Sea Scouts are officer
material for the Navy, the. Boast
Guard and the Merchant Marine.
The “Toughen Up! IBuckie Down!
And Carry on to Victory” theme
of Scouting until the war ends
will save lives through eonsum
mate training and will make Bet-
ter citizens in the process.
Scouting is training lor a way
of life, the kind of life America
chooses to clad, tire kind for which
her sons are fighting across the
seas. On those front:', and <>p
the front at home, the qualitif'S
which ScOnfng stands, for cour-
age and c'haraiTec, assure us of
Victory and a lasting peace.
