Text Any textual data included in the document From the Address by Mr. Bolton Smith, On Behalf of the Boys in the Movement The Boy We Seek to Produce CHARACTER is a process of soul development; of the individual becoming gradually conscious of himself, of the world in which he lives, of what it is he really wants to do with the faculties that have been given to him; not from any outside order, because the desire of the boy to be a scout is the urge of the Divine in him, working its way out, longing for expression, expression in physical activity, expression in the mind and 'the desire to know; expression to serve, in the longing to serve; expression in the longing to do the thing that he dimly feels within him. It is necessary, that he may have self-respect and the respect of his fellows. Sir BadenPowell hit upon a wonderful system of Pedagogy, and whether the last word in it has been said or not, I do not know, but up to this given moment, it is the most effective way of putting the boy in contact with opportunities and influences, which by some strange alchemy of the soul gradually work within, until at last the boy, the boy-man I may pay, standing in the presence of his Ma~er, with heart high as he of old, says: "Here am I, send me"that is the consummation of character. And the boy, when he once takes that position, is safe, whether you consider him from the standpoint of an individual or of part of the community. He has found his place. Safe is a nation whose boys have gotten that conception of life, and safe is the world in which boys of that kind dominate. SCOUTING, July, 1925 . From the Address by Mr. James E. West, On Behalf of the Volunteer Leaders in the Movement WELL do I remember that first meeting with Colin Livingstone, while both of us were residents of Washington. At first when the telephone invitation came for me to call upon Mr. Livingstone, I was indifferent; although active in work for youth, I was not very much impressed with the thought of a new movement for boys: and it took a second and a third invitation to bring us together, and I remember that when I responded and met with him for the first time, it required a good deal of salesmanship on his part to persuade me that it would be worth while for me to come over to New York, and seriously consider what he had in mind. Now, why do I tell you this? To give the basis for revealing the man himself. At that time, as now, I believe the need of the youth of America was for something very fundamental. I was a boy without a home, an orphan boy, it is true, yet, as I went on through life, as I made my way, I became deeply appreciative of the need of religious instruction and religious guidance for the youth of America, and so this man revealed himself to me as a man fundamentally interested in those things; and then when I met with this splendid group of men, all appreciative of the fundamental things in the life of the boys of America, I was led to see an opportunity to render a service to the boyhood of America under the 11 active participating leadership; and so on behalf of the 450,000 men who have been leaders; on behalf of the 164,000 men who are now leaders, I am privileged to speak a word of appreciat·on to this man; and in speaking a word of appredation to this man, we speak in appreciation of the services of all men who are making Scouting possibl.e for the boyhood of America, because it is just this type of service that has been multiplied so many times. Each one of our local councils, 600 of them now, has men at the head, with the same spirit of devotion, some of them serving for nearly as long a period. (On behalf of his immediate associates on the National Staff and the men in the Field, members presented to Mr. Livingstone a ring bearing the Boy Scout emblem.) From the Response by Mr. Livingstone I F I were to be thanked for anythingand forwha(I have done, I do not deserve what has been said - it will be for the discovery of the men who have been associated with me in bringing into being and developing this wonderful program of Scouting, this wonderful character-building of the American boys. We have been fifteen years in Scouting, and we have turned out two millions and more of young men who have been subject to this training of Scouting. We have made of them, we flatter ourselves to think, better citizens than otherwise could have been or might have been . . .. We have leadership of a man, who, himself, was a sincere Christian man. Yes, this man's leadership has been more than a nominal leadership. It has been an L\\I-B---R--A---R11Y PROMOTING THE READING PROGRAM OFTttE MOVEMENT "--------H BOYS' LIFE 8 0 Counci' Reoding Program ·Committees Formed .. ,, ______ .., THE HIGH SPOT IN THE READING PRO· GRAM O,F _ _T_HE_ _M_O , VEMENT 370 5tor\es,Ar\-icles,e.rc. 2.)0500 Advertising AccouNrs. 10,000 Agento t\Qnd\ing \JOYS L'f[. 326 Bo.nKs Giving 8ubscriptions. 16000 ·Newssh~~nds Di~ploying BOYs' LtFE.. 2. 9Q2l1 Copies So\d on Newss\-onds. 4,000~000 Prornot'1ont\' C lrcu,nr6 .
