"ONE HUNDRED SCOUTS"
"Of any one hundred boys who
become Scouts, it must be confessed that thirty will drop out in their first
year. Perhaps this may be regarded as a failure, but in later life all of
these will remember that they had been Scouts and will speak well of the
program."
"Of the one hundred, only
rarely will one ever appear before a juvenile court judge. Twelve of the
one hundred will be from families that belong to no church. Through
Scouting, these twelve and many of their families will be brought into contact
with a church and will continue to be active all their lives. Six of the
one hundred will become pastors."
"Each of the one hundred will
learn something from Scouting. Almost all will develop hobbies that will
add interest throughout the rest of their lives. Approximately one-half
will serve in the military, and in varying degrees will profit from their Scout
training. At least one will use it to save another person's life and many
will credit it with saving their own."
"Four of the one hundred will
reach Eagle rank, and at least one will later say that he valued'his Eagle
above his college degree. Many will find their future vocation through
merit badge work and Scouting contacts. Seventeen of the one
hundred boys will later become Scout leaders and will give leadership to
thousands of additional boys."
"Only one in four boys in
America will become Scouts , but it is interesting to know that of the leaders
of this nation in business religion and politics, three out of four were
Scouts."
"This story will never end. Like the "Golden
Pebble" of service dropped into the human sea, it will continue to radiate
in ever-widening circles, influencing the characters of men down through
unending time A Look At 100 Boys That Join Scouting
