CHEST CONTRIBUTION BUYS SEVEN
SERVICES FOR VALLEY BOY SCOUTS
(The fourth in a series of
articles explaining the func
tions of the various agencies
benefitting from Community
Chest funds in the Matanuska
Valley.)
Alaskan Boy Scouts, as do Boy
Scouts throughout the nation,
need money to build a program
for boys, training for leaders, pro
vide advancement standards and
awards, finance camps, provide
activities involving other units,
hire counsel and advice of trained
professional men and maintain a
headquarters service station for
supplies and records.
A contribution to the Commun
ity Chest in the Matanuska Valley
will help supply these needs for
Valley Boy Scouts, a participating
agency in the Chest.
The seven essential services
outlined above are provided by
the Alaska Council of Boy Scouts.
That council is run by an execu
tive council of 36 men. Walter
Huntley of Palmer is a member
of that council, which draws up,
among its other duties, the annual
budget for Scouting.
The executive board hires five
professionally trained Scout ex
ecutives to give these services to
all Scout units. One of these
trained executives is located at
Anchorage, and makes frequent
field trips to Palmer to assist local
leaders.
In Palmer, there is a Cub Pack,
sponsored by the P-TA, with a
membership of more than 30 boys
between the ages of eight and 10.
Hugh Johnson is Cub master and
Allan Mick is his assistant.
There is also a Boy Scout troop, I ^
headquartei'ed at the United Prot- .
estant Church, for boys between "
the ages of 11 and 13 years. This (
troop has a membership of more
than 20 boys. Victor Alfsen is
Scout leader and Vernon Fridley j
is his assistant.
In Wasilla. the Scout leader is 1
Vincent Smith, with Frank Smith s
acting as his assistant. 1
An Explorer post for older boys l
is to be organized in Palmer this (
fall. «
Membership in all Scout units |
is open to all boys of proper age i
classification. c
A contribution to Scouting, j
Through the Community Chest, is r
a contribution to character build- \
ing and citizenship training—the t
objective of the Boy Scouts of t
America.
