Annual fund drive is under way
The. annual fund raising
campaign to support Boy Scouts
and Cub Scouts in the Golden
Empire is under way.
Scout Executive Bob Lambert said local business firms
are being solicited’ now by a
team of businessmen, On Feb.
27, the drive will begin among
parents of scouts.
He reminded citizens that a
"sustaining membership" of $20
will support one boy in the
program for a year. Lambert
also had this explanation about
"who pays for your boy's Scouting?" The material comes from
Scouting Magazine:
"When your son becomes a
cub scout, boy scout, or explorer, you as his parents join
in a partnership with the Boy
Scouts of. America, Scouting
‘ lends a strong right arm to
parents, teachers, clergymen,
and other community leaders
in training tomorrow's responsible citizens — your son and
his friends who will be "physically strong, mentally awake,
and morally straight."
"Your boy's scouting experience is made possible by many
people who contribute their
time, talents, and resources as
members of. scout units, chartered institutions, local councils, and the national council,
“But time and talent aren't
enough; for scouting, like all
good programs, costs. money.
The job of securing funds is
made .much .easier whenever
parents and friends of scouting understand how scouting
needs and uses their contributions. me
"Part of his'scouting expenses
are paid by your son himself.
The very process of paying his
own way, preferably with money
he’has earned and saved, becomes part of his scout training. He pays his annual national
membership fee, his unit dues,
his Boys' Life magazine subscription, and his ‘camp fee.
He buys his own uniform, handbooks, camping equipment, and
other personal items, At an
impressionable age he acquires
the solid American traits of
thrift and self-reliance.
"The same training in selfreliance and competent management of affairs is gained on a
group basis in your boy's unit
‘his cub scout pack or boy
scout troop or explorer post.
?
adult volunteer.
Through the unit budget, the
adult leaders teach the boy leaders and members to figure their
needs and to balance expenditures against income.
"A troop, for example, needs
such things as tents, patrol
cook kits, badges, good turn
contributions for worthwhile
community projects, and postage. The total income from
weekly dues is estimated, and
then additional funds are made
up by approved money~earned
projects such as wastepaper
drives, handicraft sales, yard
work, and car washing.
"By pooling individual dues
and working collectively the boys
as a unit continue to share in
paying for their scouting. Institutions ‘such as churches,
‘PTAs, service clubs, business
and labor groups, veterans and
fraternal organizations, and
other civic organizations are
chartered by the Boy Scouts of
America to sponsor packs,
troops, and posts for boys in
their communities. A unit charter sets standards of performance that require the sponsor
to provide an adequate meeting
place and adult leaders. The
sponsor often provides additional program facilities and material. Its physical contributions
are financed through its operating budget. —
"Scouting requires men and
women of character who are
willing to be trained for leadership positions, No dollar value
can be placed.on the priceless
investments of time and talent
of these volunteers who help
pay for your boy's scouting.
“"Community. leaders. interested in scouting join together under a charter from
the National .Council, Boy
Seouts of America, They
operate as a local council to
serve. existing packs, troops,
and posts and to organize new
units to bring scouting to more
boys. Your local council as a
voluntary organization receives
its operating funds from individuals, corporations, and
foundations. In most communities these sources Support scouting primarily through
the United Fund.
"In addition many parents and
friends of scouting with a special interest make an extra financial contribution by enrolling as sustaining members.
Others express their interestBUSINESS

"The council owns and
operates both summer and yearround camping facilities for
troops and posts, The protec-.

are made and paid for by the
council, A staff of program
specialists assists unit leaders
in camp with their boys, A portion of camp expense is not
covered by your son's fees but
is borne by the council.
"The council employs a staff
of professional, scout executives
who give’ full time to the administration of its affairs. These
men are trained to organize
community leaders and resources to provide an educational program of scouting for
your son.
"For work with all its scouters the council maintains an
office or service center witha .
clerical staff. Here the records
essential to the unit in which .
your son is a member are kept; .
visual } and badges, literature,
aids, and other program aids
are sold and loaned.
"The council conducts formal
training programs for volunteer leaders and gives them
on-the-job guidance. Councilwide activities such as camporees, merit badge expositions
and community service projects stimulate unit programs,
The Boy Scouts of America
didn't just happen to become
the free world's biggest boys'
organization. By national coordination of the efforts of
chartered institutions and local
councils during more than half
a century. nearly 13 million
adults served a total of more
than 35 million boys.
"Standards of program and
leadership are maintained on a
national scale so your son finds
himself in a familiar. group
wherever he goes! Activities
and methods are updated by modern research. Comprehensive
literature and aids for boys
and leaders are published,
Volunteer leadership training courses are developed and
administered. Quality uniforms,
equipment, and program aids are
sold, at a fair price through
scout distributors. A staff of
experts in fund raising, ,camping, conservation, health and
safety, volunteer training, public relations, and other youth
service fields serves local councils. A corps of 4200 career
scouters is selected and trained by the national staff, the majority of whom serve in local
councils,
"All this costs money. The
national office is financed by
boy and adult membership fees;
the sale of uniforms, equipment,
literature; Boys' Life subscriptions; and a few miscellaneous
sources .of income,
