WHY BE A SCOUT?

"Stew Judkins," frst-class scout of
Topeka, Kan, knows why he is scout.
and makes no bones of telling the
world, either The following state
ment appeared in a local paper under
his signature:
II am boy scout because like to
be one. The longer l am a scout the
better 1 like it. A scout learns things
and has pile of fun learning them.
You know how a regular guy likes
good swim, a good hike, fussing
around the woods, honest-to-goodnes
boy games, snagging few fish and
then eats them until he busts. That's
what you get at a boy scout camp, and
you amt going to blame me for liking
to be boy scout. To be a regular
guy in this game, you got to play and
live according to the rules. You sure
find out what kind of a guy kid is,
and if he isn't what he should be, he
either gets mighty lonesome in a gang
of scouts or comes across. I'll tell
the world I'm glad to be scout, and
1 know a few hundred other guys in
Topeka who will shoot you the same
DOPE"

BADGES FOR SCOUTING

The Albany IN. " council reports
that public health and firemanship
are two of the most popular Merit
badges among. scouts. Nearly fifty
boys have qualified in public health
since October 1, 1920, and forty have
qualified in firemanship. The author
tiles report that the intelligent inter-
est taken by the boys in these i'm
pOrtant branches of public service has
had marked effect upon the life of
the city. Boys living in the more
congested regions have helped mate
rally in making their homes and
neighborhood cleaner and more sani-
tary and have brought the matter Of
sanitation to the attention of their
parents. In the course of their public
health work the scouts have inspected
the city sewage disposal and filtration
plants and visited the state labora-
tory, examining the methods of water
testing and other sanitation processes.

SCOUTS WIN PRAISE

At the Kansas City convention of
the American Legion a thousand or
more boy scouts from the two Kansas
cities and from Independence Mo-,
acted as police for the big parade,
which attracted the biggest crowds in
the history of the city, and SO splendid
ly did they do the job that the papers
wrote them up almost as enthusias-
tically as they did the Legion itself,
and the Legion voted them a resolu-
ton of thanks as well as passing
general resolution indorsing the move
ment and urging LegionnaireS to be-
come scout leaders.
Fifty picked scouts from different
troops served as an escort to distin-
guished visitors, a staff of aides to
the chief of police and as ushers to
the reviewing stand. Nine of the fifty
were Eagles. Every day of the con-
vention 70 scouts acted as aides,
ushers, and runners; rs boys every
day acted as traffic aides and had
thousands of automobiles; 80 boys
were on duty every day in the various
information booths scattered through
out the city, and carried on a regular
communication service between the
booths.
Another interesting good turn was
the drawing by Eagle Scout James N.
Pickering of the map of the city, a
hundred thousand of which were
printed and distributed among the WIS.,
itors and delegates.
"All in ALL" says Scout Executive
Wright, in speaking of the event, 1.-The
boy scouts rendered a good piece Of
service" According to others the
service was more than good 1t was
great.
