Boy Scouting In
Alaska To Take On
Big Program, 1947
The Alaska Council, Boy Scouts
of America, under the leadership
of Chas. G. Burdick, will hold in
Juneau for the first time in its
history, an Annual Planning Con
ference of all Scouters in the Ter
ritory, to make possible a working
program that happens in every
Troop of Boy Scouts in Alaska.
in a dramatic statement releas
ed recently, Mr. Burdick said: “No
longer will Alaskan boys have to
remain away from the active pro
gram as carried on in the States.
We have so extended the Boy
Scout Program during the past
year that we are now in a position
to give to Alaskan boys the finest
program possible.”
President Burdick praised the
work of the volunteer leaders in
Alaska by continuing: “We have
had membership as low as 71
Scouts and as high as 400 during
the past 20 years and we have var
ied with practically the same
number of different Scout Pro
grams. This year we will close the
season with over 1,000 active Cubs,
Scouts and Scouters.
“The sole purpose of a Planning
Conference is to draw all volun
teer Scouters together to work on
basic principals and develop
means through which the Boy
Scout Program can best be admin
istered in each area.
“One year ago Delbert Hanks
was assigned to Alaska as a Spe
cial Regional Deputy of the Boy
Scouts of America to organize a
Boy Scout Council in Alaska.
Many men over the Territory did
an excellent job of securing finan
cial support in the traditional

Steamship Lines to
File New Tariffs
SEATTLE, up)— Shipping cir
cles said today steamship lines op
erating between Seattle and Alas
ka'would file a new tariff within
the next two weeks, providing for
increases in rates on selected com
modities. At the end of six months,
the companies said, they would be
willing to review the rates at a i
hearing.
Rate increases sought by the
war shipping administration were
refused Tuesday by the Maritime
Commission. The increases now
proposed would be effective after
the end of February, when the
War Shipping Administration re
linquishes control of the lines.
‘Dawn to Dusk’ campaigns ol the
Boy Scouts of America. Only a
year has been spent in organizing j
the Council and carrying a limited
program to the troops. Looking to
the future, it was deciueu that a
four man professional staff could
best handle the situation we faced
of adequate servicing the Troops.
Today that four man staff is in
Alaska and on the job. Now the
Council moves into its second and
most vital stage, getting the pro
gram to the boy. A lull year of
program is planned for 1947. Ex
cellent events are on the calendar.
Already a District Hally has taken
place in Anchorage and Ketchikan
and shortly will be completed in
Fairbanks and Juneau. This is a
fore-runner of better Scouting
for your boys.
“Immediately after the Planning
Conference in February, a detailed
report for the entire year’s pro
gram will be released.
“Through Council organization,
the Alaska Council is qualified to
award the highest Council award
offered the Boy Scouts of America
—The Silver Beaver Award. It is
offered to those in Scouting who
have given outstanding leadership
to boys. Any Scouter in the entire
Territory of Alaska with meritori
ous service is eligible to receive
the Silver Beaver.
“The war record of the Boy
Scouts of America in its final to
tals is amazing. By the same medi
um the character developing and
citizenship training of our boys
under expert leadership is a mark
that we may all work toward in j
1947 with pride.”
