TROOP q MEMBERS
PLAN SEA SCOUTING
Soon Will Commence Work With
Naval Battalion, at Least
One Night a Week.

Members of Troop q, F. L. Harries,
scoutmaster, are planning to do a good
deal of hard work in sea scouting un-
der the direction of Commander Dempf
of the Naval Battalion, here this fall.
The boys have only recently returned
from camp. and have not yet resumed
active work. but it is expected that
within a few weeks they will COM
mence work with the Naval Battalion
at least one night a week and possibly
more, depending on the time given to
them by Commander Dempf and his
officers.
II is intended 10 place the boys in
different divisions or the Naval Bat
talon, according TO the branch OF work
they intend to learn-sIgnaling, sea-
mansnip and the like-and have the
petty officer of that division instruct
the boys. In the boats. each crew will
be lranged 10 conIain two or four
boys who will take their places with
the regular crew and go through the
regular evolutions. nj this manner the
boys will learn their duties just as If
they were regular members of the
crew and as if they had The RESPONSE
bilities which go with active service.
The different branches of work TO be
carried out include seamanship, bugling,
frs taid, semaphore signaling, drilling,
single stick or brOadswOrd exercises,
boating, swimming, compass work
steering and handling of small vessels,
flag work and code signaling. The bat
tallion is supplied with two thirty-foot
whale boats, a motor boat and steam
launch, and all of these will be used in
instructinE the boys.
Twenty-fcUr boys of Troop q already
have declared their intention of taking
active instruction in this sea scouting
work. Many of the branches they
will be expected 10 learn they are al
ready fairly familiar with, such as
swimming, signaling and the like. But
tley will learn many more branches Of
sea scouting and will have the advan-
tage Of practical use of those branches
with which they have been familiariz-
ing themselves in regular scout work.

FIRST CLASS SCOUT
Spend Night in Camp, and Do
Their Own Cooking for Sup
per and Breakfast.

Evan N. Johnson, OF Troop II, and
Walter r. Jex, Of Troop =, completed
their qualifications for first class scouts,
while at Camp Archibald Butt in a
trip up the beach and into the woods,
a distance OF nearly sixteen miles. The
boys set out in heavy marching order
late in the afternoon, walked from the
camp to camping location north OF
North Beach and camped over night at
what they declare should be called
mesquite point"
On the return of the boys to camp
they showed a good deal of pep" as
to their general activity, but declared
they were not mosquito proof" The
scouts did their own cooking for sup
per and breakfast. pitched their own
tent. carried their entire equipment and
tramped in all more than the fourteen
miles required by Boy Scout regula-
ticns, for first class scouts.
The trip is only one OF many that are
taken by the boys during the summer
outing at the camp. Scarcely a day
passes, but that some of the active young
fellows go out into the woods with COM
plete equipment for a nights outing
by themselves to qualify for some of
the many merit tests given by the
Boy Scout council.

worked out, according TO an announce
ment made from National Scout head
quarters. The work was accomplished
by Samuel 4. Moffat, national field

1t Is expected that more than 1900
Mormon boys will take up Boy Scout
work as a result OF the arrangement
Many groups within the Mutual I'm
provement Association have already
taken up scouting. with the result that
the athletic committee of the Organiza-
ton made an investigation and asked
permission 10 incorporate scoutcraft in
their athletic program.
The conditions of the affiliation require
that the general board of the Young
Mems Mutual Improvement Association
appoint field worker who should re-
ceiVe a special commission from the
National Council of the Boy Scouts Of
America. This official shall have iuris-
diction over all the Boy Scouts Of the

took the cars to Takoma Park. A hike

TWO YOUNG SCOUTS
HOLD FINE RECORDS
Norris B. Gaddess, of Troop SO,
and ArneII Carpenter, of
Troop 10, Honored.

Two Washington Boy Scouts, Norris
B. Gaddess, of Troop 50, and Arnell
Carpenter. of Troop 10, have qualified
as life and star scouts, after passing
some of the severest tests in scoutcraft
To do this II is necessary to win ten
merit badges. five among them being
first aid, personal health. public health,
life saving and athletic badges
Gaddess, besides being one of the
most proficient scouts in Washington
is also one of the youngest. He enter
ed the organization last February as
a tenderfoot scout, being at that time
but nine months more than the young
est age at which boy can join, which
is twelve years. Within two months
he had passed through the different
grades OF scoutcraft and become a first
class scout He intends to become an
eagle scout before the end of the camp
ing season.
Young Gaddess was the first boy to
sign up for Camp Archibald Butt, and
went down on the opening, July Z. and
Will remain until 1t closes. In order TO
become an Eagle Scout IL is necessary
for him to OBTAIN twenty-one merit
badges That he will receive the
coveted medal is probable, officers
Of the camp declare, at the rate he is
advancing in scoutcraft at present.
Young Gaddess succeeded in making
fire without matches for the first time
last week, after several days of hard
work. He was as much astonished as
anyone when the tinder blazed up sud-
denly, but he had the fire, and SUBJ
sequent trials fixed the "kpack' thus
caught so that he is now considered an
expert at that sort of thing.
Besides being young, Gaddess is a
little fellow, but as a Boy Scout he has
proved himself fine example to many
of the larger boys. He Is an EXPERT
bugler also, and is often chosen to
blow the calls when the camp directors
wish TO make fine showing before
visitors
addition to the FIVE merit badges already
mentioned, he has passed tests in
craftsmanship. machinery. swimming.
handicraft, cooking. camping and paint
ing. He is one of the camp officers and
has much responsibility there.

To the Scout Editor:
One of the affairs of interest re-
Gently to two Of the Boy Scouts was
our hike for the purpose of qualifying
for a first class scout. The hike has
to be OF fourteen miles, and must IN
clude an overnight camp.
Walter R. Jex and myself took ours
together. We started at o'clock, July
80 from the summer camp at Camp Ar
chibald Butt, just below Chesapeake
Beach. We reached Chesapeake Beach
at about o'clock, where we purchased
a ham sandwich each and two packages
Of popcorn. Halfway between Chesa-
peake Beach and North Beach, we cams
upon a boy who had cut his arm In a
street fight. We got a roller bandage
out of our kit and fixed the arm all up
in good shape in a few minutes.
1t was o'clock before We reached
a suitable camping place. We erected
our tent, made a fire and soon had
plenty of hot water and plenty Of heat.
Our supper consisted Of a can of baked
beans, bacon, and bread. We heated
the beans and cooked the bacon over
the fire.
By. o'clock We were in bed. but
could not sleep on account Of the mo-
seemed to be everywhere, and by the
feeling, were anywhere from three
inches to six inches long. We covered
our heads with the blankets and tried
to be comfortable. It was relief when
morning came. We arose early. and by
5 o'clock had our tent and blankets
strapped up and were all ready for set
ting out except for our breakfast. It
took longer to prepare that, but we
were ready for setting out by o'clock
peake Beach. where We had a cup of
coffee and piece of pie Our breakfast
had been fried eggs, bacon, and bread.
Camp Archibald Butt was reached at
