MUCH INTEREST IN
SCOUTING AT SEA"
Longstreth Says Ideal Equip
ment Is Small Units of Thirty
Foot Water Line.

The decision of Washington Boy Scout
authorities to conduct sea scouting" has
created a great deal of interest among
boys here, and matters connected nth
this line of work are being studied as
sicuously by many Boy Scouts. 1t is re-
ported.
Charles Longstreth, Of Philadelphia,
has made the following suggestions
about sea scouting:
The ideal equipment" he says. lis
small units. of jib and mainsail boats of
about thirty feet waterlne, of ample
beam and drawing about four feet Of
water These boats should be ntted
with watertight cock-pits and be prac-
tically noncapsizable and nonsinkable.
With covering over the main boom
and cockpit and an alcohol stove Itted
up, about six boys could sleep and eat
on board. Three such boats and one
thirty-foot motorbOat as a tender could
cruise as squadron.
"A less expensive outfit would be
three or more eighteen feet sailing and
rowing dories with the scouts eating and
sleeping in a houSeboSt. Much more
enjoyment can be obtained however.
when there is a motorboat to be used as
4 flagship"
Plans for sea scouting as outlined by
Mr.. Longworth. suggest that boys should
be second or first class scouts, and these
will be required to pass seamanship tests
with one year Of enlistment The Squip-
ment includes two blue denim suits for
each boy, ordinary Walking shoes.
sneakers. blanket, oil skin trousers. tac-
ket and so'wester and changes of under
wear and stockings. All these articles
properly marked. are carried in brown
duffe bag marked with the name of the
scout All other equipment is furnished
by the scout masters. Every boy must
present letter from parent or guardian
so as to relieve the scout master from
liability.
instruction is given during the cruise
in seamanship. rules of the road; man
overheard" and fire drills. Chart work,
lead line, anchOring, rowing. and the
like following in regular course. The
Philadelphia scouts will hold their an
nual cruise this year beginning July
in Barnegat bay. There will be a flag
ship with three scouts on board as sig
nal men and quartermasters and three
dories with crews Of five in charge
of quartermasters. The scouts who act
as cooks and mess stewards will be
taken to New York and Long Island
Sound The two divisions will include
thirty boys. The cruise will end July IA.

Donald woolf. member Of Troop ],

after more.
The boy must have a knowledge OF
the use of lenses in Photographic
work. of the construction cf cameras.
and the action Of developers. He must

SCOUTS GET RULES
TO USE IN CAMPS
Commissioner at Pittsburgh
Gives Practical Ideas for
Boys in Their Vacations.

c. 3. Horton. Boy Scout commissioner
Of Pittsburgh. has issued a number of
practical rules for camping. Some of
these follow:
Scouts should wear a tramping shoe
at least one month before going to
camp, SO that the shoes may be shaped
to the feet for long hikes.
Do not break blisters, but cover them
with adhesive plaster.
In hot climates wear a double flap
at the back of the head and neck to
protect from the suns rays. Never hike
in the hottest part of the day.
In an ideal scout camp everything as
far as possible is done by the boys
themselves and for each other.
4 second principle is for a scout to
set along with just as few bought
things as possible and make for him
self everything he can.
a third principle is that the scout will
see how much he can do for the camp
instead of trying to see how much he
can get out OF doing.
The scout master must absolutely re-
gard his leadership as a trust hat is
God given.
on rainy days do not hit the roof or
walls OF tent Have the boxes raised
from The ground and away from the
walls See that nothing Is behind them.
Be sure the tent bitches are clean and
loosen the guy ropes.
Try to have at least one night hike
This is a fine opportunity for star study.
Try a night paper chase, using glazed
white paper.
See that blankets are aired on dry
days and covered with ponchos on damp
days.
DO not disregard Sunday, but make il
a day without offcmse to others whose
faith may differ from yours Give each
boy an opportunity for personal devo-
tions
There is one big. all-abiding consid-
grafton that the sCoutmaSter must
realize and manifest toward his troop-
that is consistency.
BE n boy in your heart and a self
controlled leader of manly endeavor
I'm your general bearing at all times

Hike to Little Falls
Taken by Boy Scouts

A hike" to Little Falls was the fea-
ture Of the Memorial Day outing of
Troop 43, of the Boy Scouts. The boys
went by way Of the towpath as far as
Chain Bridge, then via the Leesburg
turnpike to Little Falls. Several Of
the boys who were not able to take
part in the previous hikes" OF the
troop were given a chance to work off
the second-class requirements In cook
ing and trailing.
The scheduled swim had to be given
up on account Of the river being too
high. The hike came near winding
up in an ice cream eating fete. when
several quarts of this were handed out
by a party of picknickers in order to
tighten baggage and get home earlier
than they had originally intended
