HOUSTON, TEXAS, OCTOBER 4, 1945
Mr. Veteran-Here Is Your RecallTo Duty
You who have worn the uniform of our country have
returned to a civilian life which also has been disrupted by
the trials of war. Admittedly, you have earned a rest—the
right to "take it easy." And yet you are the men needed and
qualified to do one of the most important jobs of American
life.
This job is the voluntary leadership of American youth.
While you were away, many of the leaders were with you in
the armed forces, were transferred in essential work to other
communities, or, because of working at inconvenient hours,
were unable to continue their outside activities. In many in-
stances, other good men stepped into their places. But, in all
too many cases, uninspiring, uninterested er unqualified
leaders stepped in. Consequently, many boys lost interest in
the youth organizations of which they were members. Many
other boys were never given a chance to become members, be-
cause of the dissolution or inactivity of various units. In
every case, our community and our families have been the
losers.
You, Mr. Veteran, are the logical man to give leadership to
boys. By training and by prestige, you have more to offer
our boys than any other man. Your leadership can be given
in many ways through the various branches of the Boy Scouts
of America. You can take a group of "Senior" Scouts—boys
over 15—and work with them in the different older-boy pro-
grams of Sea Scouting, Air Scouting or Explorer Scouting;
you are equally needed in the Scout troops for boys of 12 to
15, and you can "take your choice" of serving as troop com-
mitteeman or scoutmaster; and then, particularly if you have
a little fellow of your own, you may want to enter Cubbing,
for boys of 9 to 12 years. Whether your interest be in indoors
handicraft or outdoors camping or sailing, there are innu-
merable spots open for an enjoyable and interesting expe-
rience inside the Scouting family.
Units all over the Southwestern section need you. The
church of which you are a member has—or should have—a
scout unit—perhaps three scout units. The school or com-
munity center in your neighborhood should have them, too.
Get in touch with the head of the scout program and volun-
teer your services—even if you can spare but an hour each
week. There are many jobs to be done—many boys to be
guided—many serious consequences to result if we fail in our
duty to American boys!
The Southwest District will offer a training course
for Scout leaders, beginning at 7:45 p. m. October 16, at
the Central Presbyterian Church, Montrose at Uertliea.
Scoutmasters and men interested in camping activities
will then finish their courses at Camp Hudson on two
week-ends. Culthers and other Scouters will complete
their courses at other evening meetings at the above men-
tioned church. Men interested in these courses may
contact W. C. Youngblood at the Boy Scout Office, Char-
ter 4-3441; Henry J. Dannenhauni, Jr., Madison 2-1469;
or It. J. Depenhrock, Madison 2-5933.

When saving buttons from an old
