 FeT Attlil HdRh6

Only IS out of mors than 5000 boys who have been members Of the Boy Scouts of America during tho IS years of life of the New Britain council have attained what ts gen. orally looked upon as the highest rank in scouting-the rank of eagle scout. Sixteen out of 5000 have conquered the hard path to thls height. . path which leads the treaders through varied fields of achievement and knowledge and brings them at est to . weil-round- ed education which supplements their school training in fitting them fer good citissnship. By far the greater majority of scouts have been overcome by the sti6 tests confront ing them or have fallen prey to their own lethargy. but 1s have sur mounted all obstacles during tie past decade and have been accorded honor corresponding to their ac- complishment.
 The pathway to eagiedom begins when . boy enters tho movement and starts upon his tenderfoot tests. These arc extremely simple, tnvolv- ing only the tying Of eight knots, the history of the American flag, and the meaning of the varioua scout insignia and laws The next step Is also . rather easy one, and the boy advances to second clasa rank by learning elementary signall- inS and first aid, the compass, fire building. and simple cooking. It il on the third climb that the column begins to thin. for probably less than half ever become first ela&s scouts, The test for thls rank involves mora advanced first aid and signalling. [ long hike and observations made along the way. accuracy in judging cooking without utensils, and knowl. edge of stars and birds. animals. ol

Another stumbling block is btrd study. to win which . boy must see and rec. ogni1e %v different wild birds and know which are valuable in farming, in destroying rats and mice. and tu exterminating insects. These. with any nine others and the evidence that he has qualified as . leader among boys, bring him to the point where he can become m eagle scout.
 Out of ls New Britain boys who have won their way to this sum- init. ten have been members of the champion Troop [. located at the First Congregational church. New Britain's first two eagle seouts. both members Of this troops. received their eagle badges ten years ago. They were William Tancred and ru- dor Cooley. Tancred is nov . Y. NJ. C.

 Then the merit badges, which were open to him in limited number when hs was second class, lie open to him. Each Of these is awarded for the fulfillment of set require ments in one or more than 70 sub ject& These subjects include many directly relating to scouting. also others of more general applications and many whica lead the boy into the elements Of almost every pro feasion open to him.

Fine condition is needed for personal health, while public health deals with means of pre- venting the spread of diseases and requires definite health work of the boy. Building fireplace. making dough and bread, and carving are included in cooking. For camping . boy must camp out 50 nights, build a raft. set up tent with . ditch, and know how to pick camp site. Civics teaches him how the country Is run. and pathhnding re- quires an intimate knowledge of his native city and tke surrounding places.
