It looks at the benefits of Scouting for boys at all ages. It seeks to show Scouting as a way for boys to bond, accompany them as they grow up, and eventually turn them into upstanding Americans. The film goes through the different Boy Scout ranks and how these are achieved, as well as the different activities that can be covered with Scouting. It also highlights the larger support structure needed to organize these beneficial activities. 0:17 “The Scout Trail to Citizenship”, 0:26 produced by the Research Service Division of Program Boy Scouts of America, 0:44 a map of the United States, 1:53 different scenes of children playing, 2:12 a typical American family doing activities; the young son presents his father with a model ship he's built 3:27 a boy in the Boy Scouts slowly growing up and taking on more challenging tasks, 4:25 different scouting activities, 4:43 the Scouting Committee meeting, 5:04 a boy watching Boy Scouts walk past and joining them, 5:56 a Den Mother provides lemonade for the Scouts 6:03 group of Scouts having their weekly meeting in the home of the Den Mother, 6:28 the Scout Master holding a meeting, 6:50 a monthly meeting showcasing the work of the Scouts to parents, 7:31 boy does push ups, 7:45 boys fishing, 7:53 Cub Scouts on a day out doing team building activities, 8:24 Cub Scouts being sworn in as Tenderfoot Scouts, 9:28 small Scout patrols planning activities, 10:00 a Scout Patrol setting up camp, 10:37 the Scout Master planning activities with others, 11:45 a Local Council meeting planning activities, 12:10 Scouts camping and doing activities, 13:08 a Scout showing his parents what he made, 13;37 a Scout hiking on his own, 13:53 Scouts learning skills needed to become a Second Class Scout, 14:30 Scouts learning skills needed to become a First Class Scout such as hiking, cooking, and first aid, 15:21 different Merit Badge subject books such as first aid, photography, wood carving, and pathfinding, 16:55 a Scout on a hike, 17:47 Scout Master speaking to different people and signing a recommendation, 18:20 Scouts helping regular people, 18:38 Scouts doing outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and cooking, 19:05 Scouts waking up after camp, 19:46 different Scouting books for Senior Scouts, 20:32 Sea Scouts working on a boat, 21:18 older Scouts riding horses, 21:44 Scouts camping, 21:51 older Scouts walking with Skis, 22:12 Rover Scouts Camping, 22:40 footage showing Scouts doing activities interjected with adult jobs, 23:37 summary footage of Scouts doing different activities Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
