Boy Scouts Need Help
In a recent letter to the
•“Friends of Scouting” the local
Scout Committee has urged the
people of Nome to get behind the
program with their help. Scout
ing in this area stands in dire
need of individuals who are will
ing to work with scouting and
support its activities.
The Bering Sea District is part
of the Midnight Sun Council of
the Boy Scouts of America which
covers an area larger than the
combined areas of the states of
Texas, Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Massachu
setts, Rhode Island and half of
the state of New York.
In this area boys from the cities
of Fairbanks and Nome, as well
as from many Indian and Eskimo
villages, learn the skills of scout
ing in Arctic wilderness together
with the art of being good citi
zens of our great land. With but
one scout executive, a handful
of Scout Masters and a number
of Den Mothers, the direct con
tact with the boys of Arctic and
Western Alaska is maintained.
Rev. John Maakestad, chairman
of the Bering Sea District Scout
Committee says, “in times like
these when much of the world
seems to have a mixed goal, let
us work together to give our boys
a sure direction in life.”
