CANAL CURRENTS 9 Basing his figures on a recent survey, Heisel said that 60 percent of all football captains on college teams were Scouts at one time during their careers. He declared that more than 1,000,000 Scouts are enrolled today while approximately 6,400,000 have been enrolled since the organization’s founding 25 years ago . Loring Huntley, ’36.

8 CANAL CURRENTS year 1912 Sea Scouting began, and “Boys’ Life” was purchased. Some of the outstanding Good Turns at this time were help in the suffrage parade held in Washington, D. C., first aid work during the disastrous Ohio River floods in 1913, and service in connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. When the United States entered the World War, Scouts placed all their resources at the services of the government. They sold 2,350,977 Liberty Bonds totalling $147,876,962; War Stamps to a value of $53,043,698; located 20,758,660 board feet of walnut and the equivalent of a hundred carloads of fruit pits. Over thirty million pieces of Government literature were distributed and ceaseless service rendered in other ways, in- cluding food and fuel conservation. After the war the Scouts continued to help by aiding in Americanization work. The first Roosevelt Pilgrimage was held in 1919, and the first World Jamboree in London, Eng- land, in 1920. During the times of disaster such as fire, flood and tor- nado, the scouting record was exceptional and yet they did not neglect the outdoor program, winter camping, wilderness camping, and trail building. The Scouts carried on and carry on these activities. In 1926 Lord Baden-Powell visited the United States and took part in the annual meeting of the National Council, and received the first award of the Silver Buffalo for distinguished service to boyhood. The events of the later years are too numerous to men- tion, including the eight Sea Scouts who went on the Borden- Field Museum Expedition to Bering Sea, the three Scouts who went with the Martin Johnson Expedition to Africa, Paul Siple who went with Admiral Byrd to the South Pole, the Lin- coln Highway covered-wagon tour, and numerous other thrill- ing affairs. In celebrating the Silver Jubilee of the Boy Scouts of Am- erica plans are being completed for a National Jamboree in Washington, D. C. It is hoped that a representative from each troop in the nation will be present to make up a body of 30,000 campers. Sixty-five percent of the men students of America’s col- leges were Boy Scouts, according to William G. Heisel, presi- dent of the Butler-Armstrong Council of Scouts.
