One Of the most interesting and
instructive departments Of Scouting
is that Of the Sea Scouts. Unfortun-
ately the opportunity OF Scouts to
take advantage Of instruction in this
line is very limited. Very few cities
in this country have Nautical Troops.
Philadelphia is one Of these FORUM
ate communities and Philadelphia
Nautical Troop No. 116, under Cap
tain Charles Longstreth, a we'll
known yachtsman, has a very high
reputation. The relation between the
Philadelphia and the Wilmington
Scouts has always been very close
and so last summer, through the
courtesy OF the Philadelphia Scout
authorities, First Glass Scout James
Morford, Of Troop 2, received an ap-
pointment to this Nautical Troop.
Morford made an exceptionally good
record on last summers cruise, being
one of the four boys to secure a
Merit Badge for Seamanship. His
log of the trip was the only accepta-
BILE one turned in and received high
praise. being published in some of
the yachting magazines, as well as
being used as a model for the other
members OF the Troop. He will be
a member OF the Troop for the COM

by his own good work, opened the
