TAYLOR, ASSISTANT TO THE DIRECTOR I have b e en mal dn0 a r a th\:;lr intensive study of y ou.r Cow1ci l a nd t he wor k you are doing among Negroes. Your Collllcil ha d (1930 census) 2070 t welve year o l d ~egro boy s. Decembe r 31, 1939 you had 566 scouts. A Scout ciensity o.f 27.3. Your Council density is 73.8 or nea rly three ti.mes a s rna.ny scouts p er 1 00 t welve year old boys a s among y our Ne g roes. Your o bjective wa s 626 for 1940 according to the me111bership f i gures given on the recent survey re p ort. Ho wever , at the p resent tiJne y ou have 22 scouts less than y ou had December 31. How do y ou a ccount f or tha t1 If we are g oing t o have a n y additiona l Troops o rgani z ed e. nd re g istered before the first of the y ear we must get busy real ciuick and do it . W11ile I 'i\ ish every Council in the coun try wo uld a chieve its objective, we are c onscious o f a much grea t e r need for scouting ' t oday t llin we V>1ere J a nua r y 1st wh e n t h e s e objectives were made. So let's just be iSO Od scouts and do our best. Wha t ci istricts in t he Cow1cil could h a ve, but do not now ha ve a Troop for Negr .> boy s? Are ti.1ere a uy districts that still oppose scouting for Ne g r oe s? How ca n we pr esent the f a cts so a s to ge t their consent m 1ci coop eration? V\l hat ca n we do t o i ncrea se the meillbership of our pr esent troop s to a t lea st 24 boys per troop ? Would a big unnual meeting of the hegro le<.c ders c.. bo_ut J a nU&l'Y l uth with go..:t lS set for t hat date help ? Wh& t should be our g o als? 'Vvhat a ctivities could we p romote this f a ll a rnl vi inter that would make boys more intensively desire to be sco uts and rnen more iuilling to lead? What training do we need? Is the budget a llowan c e sufficient, if not h ow can we ge t c.~n adequate budget? The se a re some of t he que s tions I wish you would ask c,nd could get unswered . ..
