Scouts Aid France Recovery Effort to Rebuild Youth
Scouting is used to restore physical and moral balance of boys in devastated Aisne. Lorne W. Barclay, educational director of the National Council of Boy Scouts of America, travels to France to direct scouting work with the American Committee for Devastated France. A prior study by Mrs. A Murray Dike and Miss Anne Morgan found undernourished, nervous youths. regular exercises lacked impact. An experimental camp last summer proved successful, leading to plans for several camps in 1921 if funds permit. Donations of 25 dollars cover two weeks for one French boy, including equipment, transport, and eventual community scouting, fostering patriotism and international friendship. As of now, 3,087 dollars have been raised, with October hoped for full funding of two camps at Croix Saint-Quentin near Compiegne and Corey. The mayor of Compiegne praised the effort as essential for France’s strength and youth.
