Great Year of Public Service by Butte Boy Scouts
The 1922 report from Butte Boy Scouts highlights more than 5,000 hours of public service to local groups including the Salvation Army Toy Hospital, Christmas tree for Salvation Army, Joshers' club baskets for needy families, and 12,000 circulars for crippled children. Scouts engaged with the chamber of commerce, YMCAs, Rotary, Kiwanis, Red Cross, churches, and many organizations, praising service as citizenship training. Ben Owen, Scout Executive, urges continued effort into 1923 with the motto Do a good turn daily and calls for more boys to join.
