Passing Tests

The scouts who have been passing
the tracking test for the past few
weeks have showed wonderful ability
for speed. 1t seems that the general
idea that it is necessary to get over
the ground as quickly as possible.
Why this should be the case is not
all clear to me. The object of the
test is to find as many of the track
ing signs as possible and to make the
half mile in twenty-five minutes or
less. When a scout covers the dis
lance in eight minutes and finds four
signs is going some (?) but not carry
ing out the idea that is expected.
Usually there are about twenty-five
tracking signs. This being the case
1t would mean that a thorough scout
could find a sign a minute and at the
same time come in at the finish in
the maximum time allowed. Put on
your thinkcap scouts and figure this
out for your W good. In doing this
you will realize that you should find
as many of the signs as possible and
at the same time keep within the
time limit. All signs are laid direct
ly on the trail and easily found by a
pair of sharp eyes. OF course you
must not expect to go over the trail
with you eyes pointed towards the

Scoutmasters' Hand Book

JAW 1SNN
o many of the scoutmasters are
using the Scoutmasters' Hand Book
to keep up to date in the scout meet
ings? This is asked in all candor
and fairness to the men who think
that they a do well enough with
out it. The commissioner wishes to
call your attention to the fact that
there is not a man on this island that
can handle a bunch of live, husky,
wide-awake boys in a real live troop
meeting without being thoroughly
prepared before hand.
This goes at all times and places.
Do not think it possible to get up a
program on the inspiration of the mo-
ment and expect to put it across. You
may be able to do this a few times
but, in the end you are sure to trip
up and the result will be disasterous
to not only yourself but the general
conduct of the troop. There is no ex-
cuse for not having a new program
every troop meeting, and keeping it
up indefinitely. The S. M. Handbook
and scouting magazine is full of
splendid helps and suggestions for
stunts, tests, programs games, etc.
Give it a thorough trial and you will
never regret it. Nuf Ced. Try it.
