Dr. Paul A. Siple, Antarctic Eagle Scout explorer
at 19, has said Scouting determined the course of
his life. Today he roams the world for Army research
in climatology, clothing, and protective devices.
Scouter Siple is a member of the National Council
and National Camping Committee.
Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, and Representative from the Fourth Texas
District in Congress since 1912, recalls the events
leading up to the passage and signing by President
Wilson of the resolution granting a federal charter
to the Boy Scouts of America.
Mrs. Rollin Brown, of Los Angeles, may well be
America's busiest woman. She didn't pause between
serving as president of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers and the chairmanship of the
White House Conference. But then, she has a de-
served reputation as tireless in youth work.
When General Alfred M. Gruenther retired from
military service in 1956, he agreed to head the
American Red Cross. The Gruenther's two sons were
both Scouts. "Of eleven grandchildren, eight can be-
come Boy Scouts and I am sure they will join when
they are eligible," the general proudly says.
Harry M. Addinsell, New York investment banker,
in his long tenure on the National Executive Board,
served ten years as treasurer of the Boy Scouts of
America, and more recently, on the National Court
of Honor that recognizes heroism and meritorious
service. Stories are from Court of Honor files.
