I think this is a splendid thing to do and will be greatly welcomed by the Negro Leaders. Therefore if you will fill in a bl ank and send it on we will act upon it promptly. Hearty congratulations on the f i ne service which the Chickasaw Council i s rendering to Negro boys. I am delighted that you have so many Troops and that you al so have a number of Packs. The example of the Memphis Council has meant much to other Southern citie s in going forward in the matter of making Scouting available to Negr o boys. ' . • D.

THE SCOUT OATH my honor I will do my best: do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; help other people at all times; keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. THE SCOUT LAW I. A SCOUT IS TRUSTWORTHY. A Scout's honor is to be trusted. If he were to violate his honor by telling a lie, or by cheating, or by not doing exactly a given task, when trusted on his honor, he may be directed to hand over his Scout badge. 2. A SCOUT IS LOYAL. He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is due, his Scout Leader, his home and parents and country. 3. A SCOUT IS HELPFUL.

GRANTING COMMISSIONS AND CERTIFICATES OF MEMBERSHIP The Constitution and By-Laws of the Boy Scouts of America authorize commissions and certificates of membership only to those who subscribe to the Scout Oath and Law (as printed on other side), the Declaration of Religious Principle and its Constitution and By-Laws. ARTICLE III-DECLARATION OF RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE "Section I-The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no boy can grow into the best kind of citizenship without recognizing his obligation to God. In the first part of the Boy Scout's oath or pledge the boy promises, 'On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law.' The recognition of God as the ruling and leading power in the universe, and the grateful acknowledgment of His favors and blessings, are necessary to the best type of citizenship, and are wholesome things in the education of the growing boy. No matter what the boy may be-Catholic or Protestant or Jew-this fundamental need of good citizenship should be kept before him. The Boy Scouts of America therefore recognizes the religious element in the training of the boy, but it is absolutely non-sectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. Its policy is that the organization or institution with which the Boy Scout is connected shall give definite attention to his religious life. "Only men willing to subscribe to this declaration of principle shall be entitled' to certificates of leadership in carry:ing out the Boy Scout Program." __~= ~ - ~ ~ --- RESPONSIBILITIES (a) (b) (c) (d) OF TROOP COMMITTEEMEN Selection and supervision of Troop Leaders and consultation with them on questions of program, administration and management of the Troop.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MERIT BADGE COUNSELORS It is customary for the Court of Honor to delegate examinations in special subjects to men who on account of expert knowledge, are especially fitted to conduct the test covering the technical points involved in the examination. The purpose of these examinations is not to secure mere technical compliance with the requirements but rather to ascertain the Scout's general knowledge of the subject; as a result of his own application and study. In other words practical knowledge rather than mere book knowledge is what is desirous. It is not within the province of the Counselor to add or to take away from the requirements HANDBOOK FOR BOYS. for any test as stated in the APPROVAL Scoutmaster, Skipper, Cubmaster and Assistants applications should be approved by the Chairman of the Troop Committee.
