TO THE PUBLIC November 2, 1921 Mr. Community Citizen Dear Sir: — The Bey Scout movement after be ing in existence in the United States for several years has proven to be of the highest value in helping the youth of this country to become able and capable citizens. Its wonderful worth in inculcating honesty, inde pendence and self reliance has been proven. Their standard of morals and citizenship will prepare them to be come citizens who will be capable of carrying on the activities of our gov ernment and civic life when we are ready to relinquish them. A Boy Scout Council consisting of thirty citizens of Lamar has been or ganized and the Boy Scout movement in Lamar is a real functioning organi zation in our city. The various committees, scout com missioner, scout masters and drill mas ter have been appointed. The neces sary credentials and check have been submitted to the Boy Scouts of Ameri ca, New York City, N. Y., and a char ter applied for, which will be here within a very few days. We are ready for actual work to make this movement a success and need and solicit the assistance and co operation of every citizen of our com munity. It has been deemed best by the council to buy uniforms and issue these to all boys who qualify and join the Boy Scouts of Prowers county, giving all boys in our community the opportunity to become members of this organization whereby the boys as well as the citizens may enjoy benefits to be derived from an organization of this character. The reason for this action is to place all the Boy Scouts on an equal basis so that no boy may be prevented from becoming a Boy Scout for any reason except that of lack of qualification. The uniform and equipment issued to the Scouts will be for use in Scout activities only and will not be worn or used on other occasions. When the Scouts are equipped and become actual organization it is the purpose of the Council to make this body a self supporting one us far as is possible to do so. The benefits which we can do to the boys of this community and to the community as well is limited on ly by the assistance, moral and finan cial, which we receive from you. Some member or citizen will call on you within a very short time and we urgently ask and solicit your co-opera tion in any way it may be possible for you to aid us. Sincerely, W. O. Sheller, C. T.
