Onward for God and Country theme chosen by Scouts
Rulon Dean Skinner reports the Boy Scouts of America adopt a four year program titled Onward for God and My Country to launch January 1 1956. The Tenth National Wraining Conference at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor drew 2754 executives with President Eisenhower endorsing the theme. The plan aims to fortify physical mental and moral citizen qualities, with leaders from LDS and Catholic groups praising Scouting as a tool for guiding youth toward service and peace. The article notes prior programs Strengthen the Arm of Liberty and Forward on Liberty's Team and previews global Scouting events including the 1957 World Jamboree near Birmingham England and a US expedition to the next National Jamboree. Leaders like Harold E Stassen and church figures affirm Scouting's role in shaping future citizens for a just world.
