Scouting Keeps Us Strong


Dear Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz:

Thank you for your letter of recent date concerning your book The Scouting Way. I am always pleased when citizens take an active interest in the values of today's society.

I believe very strongly in the Scout Troops of America because these groups teach the young people of our country about the importance of being a responsible and good citizen of the United States. Our country is the finest in the world and your work with promoting the values of Scouting helps to keep America strong.

I am confident that the virtues presented in your book will provide citizens with the valuable knowledge that is gained through Scouting programs.

I wish you both continued success in the future with the publication of your book. I am sure that you will continue to set a fine example for others to follow.

With kindest regards and best wishes,

Senator Strom Thurmond
South Carolina
