Troop 80: "One day while I was walk
ing down the street l noticed little
boy sitting on the curbstone, his feet
in some sand on the street pavement.
His old grandmother was standing
nearby. Suddenly dump wagon came
rafting down the street. l saw the

in and ran to him, but before l reached
him the wagon had passed over one Of
his feet. The old grandmother began
to cry piteously. Then l remembered

him to his home, which was very near,

Semi-weekly hikes were made Of -

ness and efficiency in scouting were
selected for the trip.
Trenton babe them Godspeed hen
on July 10 they left in autos for New
York City. There they took the boat
for Albany where the hiking began.
Up to Fort Ticonderoga they pushed,
sleeping out Of doors each night, cook
Ing their meals in the open, stopping
for rest periods and practice of swim
ming and scoutCraft-but always with
an objective point to reach each day.
Scout Executive Abrlel had liked the
entire distance twice in advance Of
the trip, arranging every detail.
Albany, water town, Saltwater,
Schuylerville, Fort Edward, Saratoga,
Schenectady Sabbath Day Point, Fort
Ticonderoga-these were among the
stopping points. At each place CON
tingents of local scouts met the party
and entertainments were carried out,
the Trenton lads own fife and drum
corps doing its share.
The historic points of the famous
ground they covered were explained
by the scout leaders and educational
side tours, such as visits to the Gen
eral Electric plant at Schenectady,
the Capitol and the Educational build
ing at Albany, were features of the
trip.
Not one boy was sick, although the
sun and rain vigorously challenged the
scouts. Enthusiasm for perfect scout
craft reigned; tents were pitched with
hawless precision tests we're passed
wherever opportunity presented itself
to advance in scouting rank. Twenty
one merit badges were won.
Besides Scout Executive Abriel and
the scouts, four adult leaders were In
the party.
In commenting on the trip, Mr..
Abriel said, ITO me this Is real scout
ing-a combination Of work and play
that brings to the boys the love of the
Out-of-doors, its wholesomeness and
Joy, with the opportunity to learn to
work together generously and help

This itlnerant camp was called
Camp Kiwanis" in honor Of Trenton

movement in their city.

WILL LEARN TO FIGHT FIRE

Pueblo (COlO) scouts have formed
another class in firemanship under the
direction of the city's fire chief.
Scouts who graduated from the last
course received badges exactly like
those Of the city firemen, with the ex-
Ception that the badges of the former
were inscribed Scout Fireman" The
record Of the Pueblo scouts when
their city was endangered in June,
1921, by flood and fire, is one that
will be long remembered. Records Of
the Western Union office show that
10000 kilograms were delivered by
scouts within few days after the
food, bringing relief to the anxious
people awaiting word from the out
side world. In addition, scouts carried
food and clothing to homeless and
marooned victims, warned families
when to leave their threatened homes,
distributed thousands Of health clrcu-
lars and performed innumerable err
rands.
