World Conference of Scouting news
E.F. (Bud) Reid of Santa Barbara, Calif., was
elected to a three-year term as chairman of the
World Scout Committee during July's 32nd World
Conference of Scouting in Paris.
The World Scout Committee is the executive
arm of the World Organization of the Scout
Movement. The committee is responsible for im-
plementing resolutions adopted at the World Con-
ference and acts on its behalf between conference
meetings.
Reid, who is president of Santa Barbara-based
Sunbelt Exploration, Inc., has been involved in
Scouting since his youth. He is a member of the
BSA's National Executive Board, and his Scout-
ing honors include the Silver Beaver, Silver Ante-
lope, Silver Buffalo, Bronze Wolf, and Silver
Fox.
World Scouting comprises more than 16 mil-
lion Scouts and leaders with 131 national Scout
organizations in more than 150 countries and ter-
ritories. The BSA is the world's largest Scouting
organization with a membership of approxi-
mately 5.3 million young people and adult volun-
teers.
In other business at the World Conference, the
BSA presented checks of $25,000 each to the
newly-established Scout organizations in Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary.

In making the presentation, Chief Scout Exec-
utive Ben Love said, "The Boy Scouts of America
recognizes the emergence of the Scout movement
in these two Eastern European countries, and this
is our way of supporting Scouting ideals around
the world."
Love said the BSA's World Friendship Fund,
which provided the grants, represents "donations
from Scouts—both youth members and adult vol-
unteers—in America who want to share their love
of Scouting with young people everywhere."
Scout organizations in both Czechoslovakia
and Hungary were founding members of the
World Scout Organization in 1922, but they
ceased to be members in 1948 when Scouting was
outlawed by Communist regimes in the two
countries. Both nations received renewed World
Scout Organization recognition during the Paris
meeting.
