THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 22, 1952.
My dear Mr. Head:
It was most heartening to me to receive recently from
your Chief Scout Executive the report of the activities of
the Boy Scouts of America for the year 1931 and for the first
part of this year, showing that you have not only maintained
your strength, "but actually increased.
It is most important at this time that the activities of
the Boy Scouts of America and indeed the activities of all of
our character-building agencies, should be maintained. I
hope that your Local Council units will, as heretofore, re-
ceive from the general public, such generous support that the
splendid record you made for 1931 may be equalled in 3 932.
It is gratifying to learn that the challenge which I
gave to your organization on the occasion of the Washington
Meeting has resulted in the development and adoption by your
National Council of a comprehensive program of growth covering
the next ten years. This will not only bring to thousands of
additional boys the joys and satisfactions of the Game of
Scouting, but make the character-building and citizenship
results a vital factor In advancing our democracy.
I sincerely hope that every Scout and Scouter in your
organization will heartily cooperate in making your plans
effective.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Walter W. Head,
President, Boy Scouts of .America,
2 Park Avenue,
New York City.
