 43rd Anniversary 1953

Boy Scouts of America

From The Fredonia (NY) Censor, Feb 5, 1953

Boy Scout Week, Feb. 7 to 13, marking the 43rd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, will be observed throughout the nation by more then 3,250.000 boys and adult leaders. Since 1910 more than 20,200,000 boys and men have been members.
“Forward on Liberty’s Team” is the birthday them and the emphasis is on “The Scout Family” of programs meeting the interests of boys in three age groups: Cub Scouting for boys 8, 9, and 10; Boy Scouting for those 11, 12, and 13 and Exploring for boys 14 and up.
The high point of Scouting in 1953 will be the third National Jamboree. More than 50,000 Boy Scouts will camp at a 3,000-acrew tent city on the Irvine Ranch in the Newport Harbor area of southern California next July.
