SCOUTING TAMEs WILD LADS

One scout troop lists among its good
turns Tanning three wild lads
This troop made assets of three boys
OF widely different types who had
proved liabilities to themselves and
scouting. Here is the story:
Boy Number One-was said TO be
absolutely untameabIe. His parents
had lost control. He was slack, I'M
truthful, rebellious and downright
mean. Twice he drew suspensions
from the troop for escapades. We allow
three chances. He took the third. We
said g0od-by. After watching the troop
from the outside for three months, he
applied for reinstatement. His ap-
DlicatiOn was referred to the boys.
They agreed to admit him on trial
There has been such a great improve
nIent in his general conduct and out
look on life, that he Is often pointed
out as an example of good scouting.
boy Number Two-came from
prosperous home. He became a patrol
leader. At a critical age he began
initiating older boys of doubtful
habits, and started drifting. With a
totally unexpected bang he was re-
duced to the ranks. The next night
his entire patrol formed a committee
TO walk two miles TO the s. Ms home
and plead his case. He was 'parOled'
to them. After two weeks the S. NJ.
hardened TO persistent persuasion and
made the boy acting 2. L. under
ThSarJ-Q YDnn1hC nave
passed and it looks as though this P.
L. is to be our next senior patrol
leader. He's cured of wildness.
boy Number Three-is still in the
scout hospital, but is sure to recover.
He was a spoiled darling. Anything
his little heart desired, he got-but
there was no discipline in his life.
Our uniform attracted him; our hard
work repealed him. He was as de
structive as boy could be, and there
was no 1aziness in him when it came
to rascality. School teachers found
him hopeless; so did we and he was
deprived of his scout badge. This was a
novel experience and somewhat shock
ing to him. He staggered around and
said he didn't care-but he did. Then
he reached the surprising Ito him.
conclusion thar he was on the wrong
track He has applied three times for
reinstatement but the boys feel he will
stand a little more treatment. Ger
tainly he has lost his former ambition
to destroy everything breakable; he
has acquired some courtesy; he says
he is willing to work. Probably in
three or four months the boys will
take him in again. thoroughly tanned"
