Every scout will henor his mother on Mother‘s Day, May 12, and give her some token of his affection. Surely there is not to be found in America today a hapâ€"| ‘pier, more youthful, more hopeful group of mothers than the mothers of our three quarters of a million scouts. Happy, because a helpful son makes a happy mother, and scouting teaches a boy‘ to take part. in his home duties, to do his share of the little, nagging, household tasks that mean extra work for busy hands and tired feet. Youthâ€" ful, for the spirit of scouting is the spirit of youthâ€"ageless, timeless the. heart never grows old. The cheerfulâ€" ness, the friendliness, the kindness that are taught by the scout law, shine in the smile that every scout gives his mother. The abounding joy. in the outâ€"ofâ€"doors, the savor of the simple and wholesome things of life â€"these are the gifts of scouting to our seout mothers. § 4 L t _â€" . Hopeful _ § "If there is a forward looking movement in America today itâ€"is that *known as the Boy Seouts â€"of America. ‘If there is an organization which looks primarily to the future for the realization of its ideals, the accomâ€" plishment of its goal, that organizaâ€" tion is the Boy.Scouts of America." Scouting is dealing with soulâ€"stuff, tooks into theâ€"clear eyes of her scout son, rejoices in the conviction that he will make allâ€"her hopes come true. ° © Sunday, May 12, is Mother‘s Day. On that day of the year which is peculiarly hers, the test of every good scout will be the smile that lies on the lips and in the heart of his scout mother.â€"Scouting.
