and October 8, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Boy Scouts We Succeed Through Others E. J. Morris, Scout executive of the Oak Park Area Council, in speaking before the Scout leaders and fathers at the training course being held at the Glencoe Union church, described the many forces that come to play in the life of a boy. "A boy gains a little bit from every man he meets. A Scoutmaster's rich- est contribution may not be his own personality, but the indirect bringing of other men to play a part in boy life. We succeed through "others" he said. A Scout troop if it is to be fully ef- fective must co-operate closely with the home life of the boy. A Boy Scout- ing experience is not something se- parate and alone, but a part of his life connecting home, church, and school. Mr. Morris discussed the importance of parent's night programs and the co- operation with church and school. The Scoutmaster need not feel that he is working alone. There are men on every hand ready and eager to help, | he suggested. Advice From Executive Scout Executive Walter McPeek, of the North Shore Area council, in speaking before the men's course on "The Nature and Needs of Boys," be- ing held at Glencoe Union church, spoke last Friday night on the five phases of the Scoutmaster's job. First, the troop must be organized. A large part of the success of the troop depends on how the troop committee or the board of directors are related to the troop. It is of vital import- ance, too, as to how the boys of the troop are effectively organized into patrols with patrol leaders. The or- ganization and the administration of the troop are closely tied up together. The programming of activities, the hook-up with community life, the busi- ness management of the troop, all these are important. Mr. McPeek spoke of bringing strong forces to play in boy life, speak- ing of troop committeemen, special guests, projects, and the reading pro- gram. The third job of this consists of de- veloping management power in boys. A Scoutmaster is a leader of boy lea- ders. Another phase of his job consists of the understanding of boy life. We in a measure govern what happens to boys and, in a stil larger measure, have an opportunity to govern the reaction within the boys when certain things happen. The final challenge to the Scoutmas- ter, of vital importance in his work, is to grow on the job. He may do this through reading, through conferences, through visits to other troops, and through camp leadership.
