TO SCOOTERS AND CUBBERS:
The year 1942 will be fraught with great
significance. The immediate future is
dark and foreboding. Engaged as we are
in total war, the responsibilities of citizen-
ship become increasingly greater. What
once we deemed to be a sacrifice, we now
regard as a privilege. In performing our
duties and discharging our responsibilities
as Scouters, let us ever be conscious of the
high purpose we seek to serve. We must
ever be mindful of the many complex and
bewildering problems which confront us,
yet we must be determined, and constantly
persevere in solving them successfully.
As Scouters, let us recognize the neces-
sity of engaging in all of our activities
with a joyful spirit, with prayerful hearts,
and with a deep sense of gratitude to God,
our Divine Creator, for the many blessings
which He constantly bestows upon us.
During each day of the New Year, may
Divine Providence guide, direct and bless
us all in our endeavor to serve Him, to
serve our country, and to serve our fellow
man.
Walter W. Head, President
ITever have we entered any year with
ll a greater challenge. What the months
ahead will bring no man dares foretell.
But we are confident that, under the lead-
ership of the President of the United States
and with the. cooperation of the entire
American people, we shall be victorious in
this struggle.
President Roosevelt has repeatedly ex-
pressed confidence in the Scout Movement.
He has said:
"The Boy Scouts of America have
made and will continue to make an
important contribution to the welfare
of America's young manhood. The Boy
Scouts have always responded gener-
ously when called into action in the
service of their communities and their
fellow citizens. And so the nation is
confident that the Boy Scouts stand
ready to contribute to the national
welfare in these critical hours."
Let us responsible for leadership carry
on the program of the Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica and extend its influence. Let us each
highly resolve that in view of the need of
America today we shall, as a contribution
to the defense of our country, do every-
thing within our power to extend the in-
fluence of this great Movement.
