BUI L DING PHONE 525-2351 MEMPHIS 3, TENNESSEE �he Boy Scouts of America established a set of physical tests for the Personal Fitness merit badge in 1953. Since then, because of great interest in com• paring achievements in this country and abroad, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls have been given physical tests. From this work done by the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation-the organization of our physical educators and coaches-reliabl.e standards have been established for youth between the ages of ten to seventeen. The same ones are recommended by the President's Council on Youth Fitness. T We are living in an exciting time . in our history It is our belief that a hundred years from now historians will ascribe to this decade the responsibility and the foundation for what will follow in the entire century. Only twice before in our his t ory . .. the period of the American Revolut ion, and the period of the War between the States has so much depended upon our right choices, our right thinking, and our spoken thoughts. As we start out and continue through our second fifty years of Scouting in America, it is all the more important that we train for the future, men tally, morally and physically. Our pro~ram should be geared to the third part of the Scout Oath . We hope that the changes we make from time to time in our program, and especially in our beloved Camporee, will be in keeping with this thought. We do not have a theme, as such, but if we did, it mi ght be "Fun through Learning" in keeping with the great challenges ahead of us. As you plan and work for this year's Camporee, we trust that you wi l l keep in mind the wonderful opportunity you have through Scouting to have fun and adventure and to become better citizens.

BUI L DING PHONE 525-2351 MEMPHIS 3, TENNESSEE We are living in an exciting time .in our history It is our belief that a hundred years from now historians will ascribe to this decade the responsibility and the foundation for what will follow in the entire century. Only twice before in our his t ory . .. the period of the American Revolut ion, and the period of the War between the States has so much depended upon our right choices, our right thinking, and our spoken thoughts. As we start out and continue through our second fifty years of Scouting in America, it is all the more important that we train for the future, mentally, morally and physically. Our pro~ram should be geared to the third part of the Scout Oath. We hope that the changes we make from time to time in our program, and especially in our beloved Camporee, will be in keeping with this thought. We do not have a theme, as such, but if we did, it might be "Fun through Learning" in keeping with the great challenges ahead of us. As you plan and work for this year's Camporee, we trust that you wil l keep in mind the wonderful opportunity you have through Scouting to have fun and adventure and to become better citizens. T he Boy Scouts of America established a set of physical tests for the Personal Fitness merit badge in 1953. Since then, because of great interest in com• paring achievements in this country and abroad, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls have been given physical tests. From this work done by the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation-the organization of our physical educators and coaches-reliabl.e standards have been established for youth between the ages of ten to seventeen. The same ones are recommended by the President's Council on Youth Fitness.
