WITH OUR BOY SCOUTS SCOUTING PUTS ENERGY BACK ON RIGHT TRACK First Scout Executive in the State of Maine Urges Intensive Campaign for the Young Folks ill "The constant reports of young men from sixteen to eighteen break- ing the laws in various parts of the country seem to 'tell the story,' and show that there must be an intensive campaign carried on to teach our young folks loyalty, patriotism and respect for the laws of their country," says Whitman E. Smith, who has re- cently taken up the work in Port- land, Maine, of a Boy Scout Execu- tive. "From my experience in the work for the last four years, it seems to me that the community never had a greater need for the scout program for boys than it has today. "I find in communities where no particular attempt has been made to give publicity to the work that peo- ple are awake to the possibilities of the scout program and believe th'at the future of the movement is greater than it has been since its inception." Mr. Smith is the first scout executive to be employed in the State of Maine. Whitman E. Smith attended public schools in Boston and Winthrop, Mass. He was always interested in boys' clubs. He has had considerable business experiences, having been an auditor and accountant and in the brokerage business. He was with the accounting de- partment of Harvard University and town auditor of Winthrop, Mass., for five j-ears. He is a real outdoors man and has always taken a great interest in camping, yachting and all outdoor sports. As to his scout work, he took . charge of Troop 2. Winthrop. Mass.. as Scoutmaster in 1914; became Dis- trict Commissioner in 1916 of what was known as the Third District. Greater Roston Council, which com- prised the cities of Chelsea and Re- vere and the towns of inthrop and Satigus; became District Executive of Cambridge and Arlington in Dec- ember, 1916, and served there and in Mystic Valley Council, Greater Bos- ton Federation, as Scout Executive until August, 1919.
