44Scout Partners—Not Scout Widows"
rrms WAS WRITTEN BY THE WIFE of a Scout
I Executive, but just about every Scouter's wife
will probably say, "That goes for me, too!"
"1 never did like being called a 'Scout Widow'
because I didn't feel like one. We wives of the
Scouters should never feel like widows, but as
partners. Why, what better job could your hus-
band have than helping to build and mold the
characters of the youth of today for a better
world of tomorrow?
"I never felt like complaining when my hus-
band was gone night after night when our three
children were babies, because I had in my mind
that when ours needed Scouting, then someone
else would be sitting at home so ours would get
Scout training. In the past three years I have had
the wonderful experience of seeing Scouting in
action.
"Our children are at the age now where we
can take part in more Scouting. I've been a
Brownie leader three years now and love it. A
few more years of Girl Scouting and then I plan
to become a Den Mother. Those Den Mother
books are an inspiration themselves. How can a
mother look at that book and not say 'Sure Til
take a Den, it looks like fun to me.' Scouting is
fun if we only will keep that word in our mind.
If you like it, it will be fun. Fun galore!
"Our visits to camp and our camping spent
together as a family have brought our family
closer together than anything we could buy. The
smiles and bright eyes and handshakes over the
campfires when Boy Scouts receive their merit
badges. The quiet moments in a mess hall while
a Boy Scout gives grace. The proud smiles and
tears of an Eagle Scout and his parents. The
working committees and their gratitude when a
job has been well done. The hundreds of parents
who say to you, 'We thank you for your help
in Scouting for our boy.' You can't say you're
a widow because you're a partner. You are the
partner who does her share behind the line at
home. So come on, Scout partners, give 'em all
you've got to make this year one of the biggest
years in Scouting!"
Thank you, "Scout Partner," for helping us see
Scouting as an opportunity. You bet we'll give it
all we've got in 1954.
