If any one in this area wants to know, let that person scan the record of the Boy Scouts of the North Shore. That record shows that in the last vear great progress has been made, and as evidence of the enthusiasm it may be pointed out that that "united front" program of the Scout troops has re- sulted in a remarkable growth in numbers. The figures show that where a year ago there were 424 scouts there are now a total of 717. One year ago there were some twenty-one troops in the North Shore area, each operating more or less as individual troops, although affiliated in various ways. The formation of the North Shore Area Council at that time when an office was established at Highland Park to carry on the move- ment has brought wonderful results as has already been indicated. Scout Executive Walter Mc Peek has found the Council plan most effective. Organize New Troops More than in apy year the inter-re- lationship of the Boy Scouts has been found in the last year to work for are in the process of formation. More than 500 merit badges have already been awarded. But perhaps of great- er interest is the fact that troops have been organized where there was no Scouting before. The progress of Boy Scoutdom on the North Shore is due to the splendid leadership of the officers of the coun- cil, Albert P. Snite of Highland Park, who is president, Dr. Douglas H. Cor- nell of Glencoe, Dr. George Roberts of Lake Forest, Roy H. Jarrett of Kenilworth, Maurice Mandeville of Lake Bluff, George Harbaugh of Wil- mette, Henry Fowler, Walter McPeek and B. C. Draper. To adequately provide a rich Scout- ing experience for the boys of the community, many things are neces- sary. Courts of Honor for the stimu- lation and recognition of advancement must be maintained. Troops must be effectively organized, with an institu- tion backing and insuring their perm- anence and effectiveness; camping and outdoor activities must be pro- vided; leaders must be trained and many other angles leading to the en- richment of boy life considered. Com- mittees have been at work on the co- ordination of these problems. The standing committees with their chair- men follow : The executive board: President, A. P. Snite, Highland Park; vice presi- dent, Dr. D. Cornell, Glencoe; vice president, Dr. G. Roberts, Lake For- est; vice president, M. Mandeville, betterment. Twelve new troops now Lake Bluff; vice president, R. W. Jar- rett, Kenilworth; treasurer, H. Fowler, Wilmette: Allen I. Wolff, Rev. F. Fitt, Henry P. Pope, Harry Harrison, J. W. Strong, Benj. N. Cox, J. Light- body, F. Roeber, H. Rhode and Les- ter Stanton. Advancement and Court of Honor-- Dr. G. B. Lake; Effective Troop Or- ganization--Karl D. King; Civic Rela- tionships and Service--R. Arthur Wood: Camping and Outdoor Activi- ties--Charles A. Steele; Finance and Budget--Henry Fowler; Leadership Personnel and Training--W. A. Bim- son: Character through Sea Scouting --H. Warren Shaw, and Good Reading Program--F. G. Pipenbrok. The greatest asset of any council is its corps of volunteer scoutmasters and assistants, trained and consecrated to the task of boy leadership. These men give of their time and thought and energy in the enrichment of boy them busy men--as a contribution to life. They invest this time--all of the enrichment of American life. These Scout leaders not only feel the impor- tance of their job. but they enjoy it: thev feel the thrill of accomplishing a big piece of work. Everything that is done in the inter-troop work of the North Shore Area is done with the thought in mind of strengthening the hand of the volunteer leader.
