DESIGNATING THE PERIOD FROM JULY 1 TO AUGUST 15, 1964, FOR THE NATIONAL FUND CAMPAIGN OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES

WHEREAS, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines merits the continued moral encouragement and material support of our people to make the Scouting Program available to boys all over the country;

WHEREAS, this organization needs funds to carry out its operations effectively, to intensify its nation-wide training and recruiting programs for the benefit of youth, and to meet its obligations as member of the Boy Scouts World Bureau; and

WHEREAS, the annual campaign, aside from offering us an opportunity to give tangible expression of our appreciation for the good work being done by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, affords a means by which we can meet a civic obligation by helping this organization train and mould every boy in the land to be a patriotic, God-fearing, upright, clean, and responsible citizen;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL, President of the Philippines, do hereby designate the period from July 1 to August 15, 1964, for the Boy Scouts of the Philippines to conduct its 1964 National Fund Campaign, for the purpose of raising funds all over the country. I call upon all government officials and employees and all citizens and residents of the Philippines to assist in this campaign and to give it their entire support so that the Boy Scouts of the Philippines may be assured of funds that will enable it to attain its avowed aims and purposes. I authorize all national authorities and teachers to accept, on behalf of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, fund-raising responsibilities and urge them to give active sup­port and leadership in their respective communities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.1aшphi1
