The report pays a high tribute to Hon. William G. McAdoo, under whose personal leadership the cam- paign was organized and conducted as well as to scores of others who served as members of Mr. McAdoo's committee and as chairmen of the District. State and City campaign committees. The report shows that while com- plete returns have not yet been re- ceived from many of the communi- ties where local Citizen's committees were organized to carry out the pro- gram, 322769 persons became asso- ciate members of the National Coun- cil and contributed $635,419.74, or an average of about $2 apiece. In addition to the returns made to the Treasurer of the National Coun-| cil, Mr. George D. Pratt, reports in- dicate . that $1,01201225 was raised and retained for use by local coun- cils in different parts of the country, making a total of $1647.432 thus far reported as a result of the campaign. Many local campaigns are scheduled for this fall and early winter which, it is honed, will materially increase the total receipts for both local and National work. As the report makes clear, the ob- ject of the Boy Scout Week was LLL TALL LL ALLL ALLA ISI LLL FL FLSA FA LAL LE A AA A A AAA FA A A AT WITH OUR BOY SCOUTS a EE ZF rrr rr, ly for the raising of money but were also for the organization of the en- tire country to carry out the six objectives of the campaign and cov- ered the expense of advertising and printed matter for use throughout the whole country in the promotional features of the campaign. Of the $1,647,432 received through- out the country, $301,490 represents memberships and contributions re- ceived in New York City, to be used for both the local and National work. The report shows that the Execu- tive board expressed its apprecia- tion not only to those who directed the campaign but to all who have contributed. The result of the campaign has already made possible an increase in the field and extension service of the movement as also intensifying the local work in Greater New York. An example of this was seen in the camp summer which accommodated 9,000 at Palisades-Interstate Park last boys, or an average of 1,500 per day. They were given an opportunity to follow the Scouting program under ideal conditions in the largest camp for boys in the world. This is done at a cost to the boy far below the actual expense involved, in order that all boys, of whatever station in life, might have the advantage of camp training. One of the most gratifying results of the Boy Scout Week campaign has been the organization of addi- tional permanent local committees, known as local councils, to further the Scouting program. Already 67 such additional committees have been chartered as new local councils, and essentially an educational and pro-|between 300 and 400 are in the pro- motional 'campaign. Nearly 5000 local Citizens' committees were organized by Mr. McAdoo and his associates, to carry out the six objectives--namely the program of appreciatino, interest the community in boyhood, promote the organization of Scout troops, en- list Scoutmasters and organize local councils, as well as to secure Asso- ciate members, for character build- ing, citizenship training and Amer- icanization. The expenditures of the National Citizens' committee for this nation- wide educational campaign, including expenses of some of the District rep- State chairmen, and City chairmen, and including New York City, were $204,015.43. These expenditures were not mere- cess of organization largely as the result of the campaign. The mem- bership of the Boy Scouts of Am- erica today is 364,407 boys, as compar- ed with 329,685 on the same day a year ago, and in addition there are about 100,000 adults serving as volunteers-- scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters, scout commissioners and members of troop committees and local councils, thus making a total enrollment of about 464,000 men and boys.
