SCOUTING, JUNE 12, 1919
A Telegram to State and District Chairmen
from Honorable W. G. McAdoo
Developments are most encouraging. Over four
thousand local chairmen have been appointed and
everywhere there is evidence of enthusiastic interest
in completing plans for opening our campaign June
eighth with very promising results. Advantage has
been taken of cooperation of a number of National
organizations, as well as list of one hundred thousand
boy scout officials for me to make direct appeal for
them to personally enroll and give definite help in
securing Associate Members in such way as will be
in harmony with plans of local committee. In every
case application blanks and instructions make clear
that all returns are to be made through chairmen of
local citizens' committee. This I am sure you will
find will be wonderfully helpful and will result in
many thousands of members being secured through
agencies which would not otherwise be approached.
All returns through these sources, of course, will be
I credited to quotas of various communities. Please
cooperate in making it clear to local chairmen that
plans have gone too far in arranging for these appeals
to permit of deferring campaign for associate mem-
berships until later date. Local Boy Scout officials
have privilege of postponing campaigns for local
work, but not for associate members of National
Council. Please make this clear.
—W. G. McAdoo
