Prior to the awards being made,
Ken Ubbelohbe, Scout representa

the awards and their significance.
He stated they were one of the
highlights in scouting. “It is one
phase of scouting,” he said, “and
an important one—recognition of
merit—in the Scout’s advancement
from tenderfoot to Eagle Scout.”
He particularly emphasized the
importance of the cooperation of
parents and friends to the Scout.
He enumerated the twelve points
of scouting law, and the three
steps into which the boy is indoc
trinated—Scout law, oath and mot
to.
