The report states: "The North Shore Area Council-- which is nothing more nor less than a group of men banded together by a common interest and desire-- is whole- heartedly in earnest in its desire to draw out of the boy life of our com- munities its very best. "We have been charged with the responsibility and entrusted with the privilege of being Trustees of the Boy Scout program in our communities. "We have been given a charter and authorized to extend the use of the Scout program to those institutions that will earnestly and wholeheartedly use it in enriching boy life. It is our duty to co-operate and aid in the widest and most effective utilization of Scouting in conserving the finest forces in boy life. "Our happy task is one of community leadership, the inspiring of institutions and individuals in providing those ex- periences for youth that will appeal to Boy nature and Serve Boy Needs. "This Council does not administer Scouting to boys. It does, however, provide, enrich and co-operate in the proper utilization of the Scouting pro- gram by the various churches, schools and service groups which are making Scouting a part of their work.
