Privately and officially,the mcmbers ofour Board took up themat tc r and r epeatedly discussed i twith the executive officers of the localCouncil ofthe Boy Scouts of America.They recognize the great temptationof such an offer as yours and thereforeJid not seek to influcnce our decision

I any way, but merely to give information. It is the ir feeling tha t a fineroom and equipment would distractfrom the real pu rpose and objec t ofScouting, which is based primarily 011outdoor work. Troops having morethan comfortable but very ordinaryquarters have generally not been successful. The second objection is thatthe Playground and its accompanyinggames and other forms of recreationwould prove too much of a counter attraction alld would result, to say thelcast, in very irregular attendance.'Yt; are sure that you appreciate ourpOSItIon and our earnest endeavors todo what is best for the boys.
