THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1988 registered membership in the Boy Scouts of America passed the milâ€" lion hundred thousand mark, Dr. tive, announced in conjunction with Boy Scout week being celebrated February 6â€"12 to commemorate the 28th birthday of Boy Scouts of just released, show 1,129,827 Boy Seouts, Cubs, Senior Scouts and their leaders registered and actively engaged in the program of characâ€" ter lnllqn.. citizenship training, camping crafts and comradship in 88,151 troops, packs, ships, neighâ€" borhood patrols and tribes throughâ€" out the United States . of America and its possessions. The growth for the year 1937 over the preceding 12 month period was 5.6 per cent.

"The past year has been one of the greatest in the history of the scout ‘movement," declared Dr. West. "It has been a year of great achievement and greater fnspiration, gathering as we did, 27,232 Scouts and leaders from every state and many foreign countries into a great jamboree camp upon the shores of the historic Potomac river in the heart of the nation‘s capitol With this inspiration, we are certain that all America appreciates the fundaâ€" mental values which scouting offers boys, and that every man and womâ€" an will do all in his power to make scouting available to more boys in every community." State of Illinots From a welter of demonstrations, talks and .meetings emerges one birthd.ylflweek activity typical of the boys who make up the niore than a million membership of the Boy Scouts of America. It is a "good deed" . . . a nationâ€"wide "good turn" . . . to the men and women of America which, Boy Scouts hope, will "bring home" lesâ€" sons of safety in such dramatic manner that they will be less thoughtless, careless, and ignorant in the myriad small things they do, or don‘t do., which breed accidents. The scout "good turn" will not be done with a beating of drums or amidst the cheers of spectators, but inconspicuously in . neighborhood business districts where scouts will stage "living" demonstrations of fundamental safety practices upon the sidewalks, in store windows, lobbies and other spots where Mr. and Mrs. America congregate. The North Shore Area council has a membership of 3,306 as of December 31, 1937, consisting of 704 eubs, 2,002 scouts and 600 men. Its officers are determined to make this wonderful program available to sevâ€" eral hundred more boys this year. Cake and candles may be the popular conception of a birthday party, but not for Boy Scouts who are in the midst of a week‘s festiviâ€" ties in celebration of the 28th anâ€" niversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America, This simple but effective "good turn" is reminiscent of another Boy Scout act which resulted in bringâ€" ing the scouting idea to America more than 28 years ago. This "good turn" took place in London when an unknown English lad helped an American lost in a dense fog to disâ€" cover an address. When the boy reâ€" fused the customary tip for his services with the statement, "Scouts don‘t take money for "good turns," the surprised American, Mr. W. D. Boyce of Chicago, decided to invesâ€" Statement of Resources and Linbilitics of the First -I--‘-â€";I_l:;l'-d -luh.‘"““ Park muwmmâ€"uu&afiunâ€"uâ€"-&suuunâ€"-&. 1987, as shown by the annual report made by the said corporation as a trust company, %‘-‘m&wdfilh&d“â€"mbbfi. 1.
