When the Boy Scout movement was launched by Bishop Gannon last year, the boys of St. Paul’s parish were among the very first to enroll and to receive a charter.  The oath was administered to the first contingent amid impressive settings and well directed ritual in October of last year.  At the function were many notables in the Boy Scout movement throughout the city.  Mr. John L. Taylor, Scout Executive and Father Walter J. Conway, director of the work in the Diocese, were largely responsible for the success of the undertaking.  Great praise is due Mr. Bruno Cavallini and the Troop Committee for the detail work of instruction of the boys and the movement is not merely a local church development, our Boy Scouts are affiliated with the great national organization which stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans and into many foreign countries.  They are Boy Scouts in the real and genuine sense of the word—and what is more, the high ideals of scouting are already apparent in the lives of the boys of the parish.
