THE BOY SCOUTS

By RALPH VICTOR

The Boy Scout Movement has secured a hold on the American boy that is remarkable in its far-reaching effects. It is doing a great work in the development of manliness, self-confidence and physical perfection and is making better citizens out of the members of the organization.

This series will foster interest in the Boy Scout Organization. There is excitement such as every boy’s book should contain. There are many and varied experiences, and much worth-while information about out-door sports and camp life, in which the youths take part.
