Troopleader VS S Y futeS' the -charge of Miss Mc- Phail, 1SI, P. that the Boy Scouts is a miliatry clove' ment. .At 1•,roeelit TJ:I';O .picnic Mise Ag- nes McPhail, M.P.,made a ,bitter at- tack on the Boy ,Scout movement as a military organization training our youth :tor war s 1 and bloodshed. Such 11 i criticism is� unjust and, a uncalled u caed for. in •atiswee• to the charge of inil- itarisni,' l"et us refer to the Incorpora- tion RoyalChar- ter by ioliof the movement, t i al non- military colitic. teI• in 1J1S as a "noel body." Quoting from the Canadian official . handbook, "There' is no military meaning attached to Scouting, even the ordinary •drill em- ployed being reduced to the lowest necesSary limits.. There is• no inten- tion of making the lads intotSoldiers or . of teaching.' them bloodthirsty-, tress." Our drill has been ,practice ally converted•; foi system of Signs s and signals:employed by Scouts' and backwoodsmen, ,yet Miss McPhail would have us believe we are teach- ing the Manual of Arms,' Father - more, noi officer connected with= the Movement is permitted to use a title denoting Military or naval rank. The Anglican Synod of Huron has. adopt- ed the Boy Scout •Movement as+its of- ficial program for boys. Would this 1 ecclesiastical • •body adopt a pro-• = 1 gramme ofmilitarism for the moral guidance and ? training of its -youth? .= Scouting has received tributes from the greatest nren of every country. The late Mr. Roosevelt, ex -president 1.of the United States writes,—'"The Boy,Scout Movement is distinctly an asset to our country for the develop- 1 ment of efficiency,' virility and good i citizenship." The Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George the British Prime Min - lister. says, speaking of Scouting,— •.•.When: the boyhood of a nation can give such practical proofs of its honor straightness and loyalty, there is: not Bruch danger of that nation going un- der, for those boys are in training to l render service to their country as leaders in all walks of life in the fu- ture." Lord Roseberry has said of .the Movement,—"If I were to form the highest ideal ;•for my country, it would he this,: that it should be:a na- tion ot whicll..,the„Manhood was ex,. :elusively composed .of men who had .been or who, were , Boy Scouts, and who were trained in the Boy. Scout theory. Such a nation would be an honor to mankind._ , It would be the greatest moral force that the world • has ever known.". When such great authorities lay high tributes of this nature to Scouting and it will be no- ! tired not in a political.. or military sense is not ,it avoe thy of. the support l'bf Canadians •as`' oil potential force working not ter militarism but for citizenship'.

Miss McPhail claims our uni- form savours of militarism. At this rate any uniformed body must be roil itaryz • Are not some of the greatest societies and; organizations for moral social, physical and intellectual ben- efit uniformed? Would'Miss McPhail our V 1101A1'lll or the S a 1 designate y �I� Public Health nurses as military or ,bloodthirsty? Yet what is there in thea• Boy Scout uniform military? A- gain I quote the of44l handbook, "1lzilitaiy uniformd, s anaccoutre- ments ments or any parts thereof must not be wornor copied by Scoutmasters.. Does Miss McPhail claim that Scout shorts silifilar to those .used, in our school gymnasiums aro military? There is not one detail of the uniform authorized by the Canadian General Council for the use of Boy Scouts which resembles that used .'b3' our regulars or militia. There are two reasons for the use of distinctive dress,—(1) It lends a certain esprit de corps and makes the boy feel liis responsibility as a distinct,. unit of the whole. (2) It enables all to dress alike so that more easily a Scout may be a brother to every other Scout no. matter to what social class the other belongs. ' With these few remarks I hope to correct any false impressions of Miss McPhail or of the general public con- cerning the Boy Scout Movement. Troopleader W. S.
