SCOUTS
TO ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS
Chief Scout Executive James E.
West sends this word to the almost
18,000 assistant scoutmasters of boy
scout troops:
“Your rank and opportunity is one
to excite envy. Your job is what you
make It and your troop is largely up
to you. The chance for the boy scout
t movement to be serving a million boy
members by next birthday rests with
r you. If anyone else brings about the
million, tliut someone will have
stepped in and picked up your op
portunity.
"Does this seem strange? A typo
graphical error, putting in the word
assistant? Then consider the lieu
tenant in the great war.
“We think of you as the man with
youth and physical vitality enough to
carry on and carry through to success
the plans of your chief.
“To us you are the man, the only
man, who can sny, “Boys, Mr. Scout
master would be greatly pleased if we
rolled our packs and put our camp
site in perfect order right after din
ner—he would enjoy our afternoon
tests and games and swim, himself,
if he didn’t have that cloud hanging
over him, of asking you to police this
spot at 5 p. m. We owe him. a good
time. That-a-boy. You’ll be done In
ten minutes at the rate you’re doing
it.
“You are between the boy and the
ultimate authority; and your word of
encouragement and your sympathy
when scouts are in wrong can be one
of the truly great factors’ in the
troop’s success.”
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
Service!
Aftsfood turn every day!
That’s scouting’s heart and soul,
Its brain and brawn.
A good turn every day—
Not for pay,
Not by rule,
But from love—
Boyhood’s boyish, manly love,
Boyhood’s deathless love,
Selfish love—
Of Good for Good’s sake.
Rich boy. poor boy.
Boy of city, boy of town.
Boys of every real boy land.
This hemisphere, and that—
Scouting binds them all
In service, service, service,
Day after day, day after day,
Work service, play service,
Growing, growing.
Manlier every hour.
Soon to be full men,
Full heart, full mind,
Full body, full soul,
To the Rooseveltian utmost;
Men to the last drop of red blood,
To the last nerve twinkle,
^ To the last heart flutter,
Men, yet forever—boys;
Men with virile boyishness
Of boy scouts.
Prepared!
Prepared for life!
For the merry seriousness of it,
The fun play fight of it,
The thrilling carrying on of it,
Boy life, man life,
Welded.
Prepared!
Prepared for death!
The smiling calm of it.
The certain crown of it,
The onward, upward, living faith of It.
Stanch ness!
Stanch, hand in hand,
Shoulder to shoulder,
Heart with heart,
IJving and helping to live,
Living c lose to nature’s heart,
Helping bird, helping beast,
All God's creatures!
Every man. every woman.
Boy scouts, big and little,
Boy-men, yet just boys!
—Edward Branch Lyman, in New York

boys to have their blood transfused
into the veins of the injured man.
Dr. Clarenee Snow of the hospital,
