They have done effective work in this community and throughout the country in rendering various civic service good turns. The Boy Scouts have not only demonstrated their worth to the Nation, but have also contributed to a deeper appreciation by the American people of the higher conception of good citizenship. The objective of the present Ten Year Program of the Boy Scouts of America 18 to provide for the Nation a citizenry in which one of every four of the new male citizens each year will have had at least four years of Scout training. During the past twenty-five years 6,530, 330 persons through the various branches of Scouting have enjoyed Adventure, Hiking, Camping, Swimming, Woodcraft, Handicraft, Fellowship, Health and Safety, and have learned how to be helpful to others and have been trained to be participating citizens. During this week the Boy Scouts of America are celebrating their Twenty-Fifth Anniversary, continuing with a year of special activities, including a National Jamboree in Washington, D. C., as announced by President Roosevelt. THEREFORE, I, Tom Miller, Mayor of the City of Austin, do hereby recommend that the citizens of this city observe this Boy Scout Week and Anniversary Year for the purpose of strengthening the work of the Boy Scouts of America. I earnestly recommend that our civic organizations, our churches and our schools cooperate in carrying out a program for a definite recognition of the effective service rendered by the Boy Scouts of America, in order that the work of the Boy Scout Program may be extended to a larger proportion of the boyhood of this City. The Boy Scout Movement offers unusual opportunity for volunteer service. It needs men to serve in various capacities as leaders of boys. I hope that all who can will, through the organization with which they are connected, enlist for such personal service. Anything that is done to increase the effectiveness of the Boy Scouts of America w111 be a genuine contribution to the welfare of this City, the State, and the Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of this City to be affixed.
