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.
