{{citation|BOY SCOUTS | |||
Our Committee established a Training Camp for Boy Scout leaders at Compeigne during August and | |||
September, under the direction of Mr. Lome W. Barclay, who was on leave of absence from the National | |||
Boy Scouts of America, of which he is educational director. Mr. Barclay rendered invaluable service in our | |||
work with boys and young men. The physical and moral training with the teaching of hygiene and preven¬ | |||
tive medical work did much to improve the health of many undernourished and underdeveloped young men. | |||
Three hundred of these young men from the devastated regions returned to their homes after periods of two | |||
weeks’ training, prepared to organize hundreds of troops of boys in these areas, who are in great need of | |||
such healthful recreational training in their re-establishment. It is absolutely essential that they shall have | |||
the assistance of the American Committee in this work. One important outcome of the camp was the devel¬ | |||
opment of a new interest among the leaders of boys in France. The spirit of unity, cooperation and coordi¬ | |||
nation developed was possibly the greatest service of all. The interest of the French people in the enterprise | |||
was intense and the favorable attention of the educational leaders of France was attracted. | |||
At the suggestion of Mr. Barclay, and after consultation with M. Tardieu, we have arranged to retain | |||
the services of Mr. Henri Guerreau and Dr. Demarquette, both of whom served under Mr. Barclay on the | |||
staff of the camp. On the advice of these gentlemen the American Committee is to withdraw from its associa¬ | |||
tion with the “Eclaireurs de la France Devastee” and, with the services of Mr. Guerreau as Secretary-General | |||
and Dr. Demarquette as Field Secretary, to commence a campaign in Paris and in the field for the purpose | |||
of creating local committees in towns and villages to organize and maintain troops of Scouts in these towns; | |||
such committees to be representative of Church, State and public in these communities, and the troops | |||
formed under these committees to be affiliated with the Catholic, Neutral, and Protestant Scout movements | |||
already existing. In other words, the American Committee stands outside of any existing Scout movement | |||
but will assist in the creation of Scout troops for France. In addition, a Scout Extension Committee with | |||
headquarters in Paris, is to be formed by the American Committee, to which are to be invited the various | |||
representatives of the present Scout movements, official authorities and well-known prominent citizens and | |||
journalists who can be converted to the principle of Scouting. The Minister of the Liberated Regions has | |||
already made a gift to this Committee of all the material loaned to us by the Ministry for the Camp at Franc | |||
port which can be used there next year for the camp for Scout-Masters. The Prefect of the Aisne has also | |||
advised the Committee that he has taken steps to put aside sufficient material to organize a camp for boys in | |||
his Department, provided the American Committee supplies them with personnel. We are awaiting replies from | |||
the Prefects of the Somme, Pas-de-Calais, and the Nord, who have been similarly requested to equip camps | |||
for boys in their respective departments. For this purpose we shall need a new item in our budget for next | |||
year of $100,000 to cover these expenses.'' | |||
