Ernest Seton resigns as chief scout amid militarism shift
New York December 6 1915 naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton announces his resignation as chief scout of the Boy Scouts of America. He blames James E West for a growing militaristic bend and forms the Woodcrafts league inviting Boy Scouts to join. He recalls the founding aims of outdoor life conservation brotherhood and woodcraft. He says the movement now emphasizes drill and military activities over original aims and notes his resignation was effective earlier but announced after executive board action. Public notice then provides land filing details for John A Sharp in Nevada with witnesses listed and final proof date set.
