Rainy Day Activities
, T the close of the
Food Show, as
much as possible of
this exhibit was kept
at Headquarters for
use from time to
time. Space does
not permit a de-
tailed account of
either the Minneap-
oplis or Sacramento
Exhibits, but practi-
cally the whole range
of Scouting was covered
in each case minutely,
and the exhibits were given
special point by appropriate
demonstrations, as in first-aid
and bridge building. Officials wish-
ing to go into the subject more fully
can secure also from Mr. Hosmer a set of
Exhibit photographs "10782—9" for $5.00,
and Mr. Hosmer offers to answer any in-
quiries about the Exhibit and its effect, par-
ticularly the making, upon troop activities.
A SPECIAL point we would make here is
that many hours that otherwise might
be spent in idleness by scouts can be sched-
uled in advance for making models, col-
lecting and arranging specimens of nature
study, practicing taxidermy, making bird
houses and in other ways creating the ma-
terial for a public Scouting Exhibit later
in the year.
Merit Badge Display Booth
THE plan shown at right is one of ten
now in preparation by as many Coun-
cils for display at the Mohawk Indian Vil-
lage, September 19-23, Springfield, Mass.
This exhibit will constitute one unit in
competition with other Junior Achievement
work at the Eastern States Exposition. A
second unit of exhibits will be located in
the Indian buildings comprising _ Nature
Study and achievement exhibits of all de-
scription. Here, too, prizes will be awarded.
Most important! Fifty scouts are to be
chosen for a free trip from Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and Maryland—the ten
Eastern States. For information and ap-
plications write W. C. Wessel, Department
of Camping, Boy Scouts of America.
A RAINY DAY in camp is the final
test of the eighth Scout Law: "A
Scout is cheerful." The psychology
of being a sunshine spreader lies in keep-
ing busy. Songs and organized games fill
the primary needs of the program and give
opportunity to discover latent talents for
leadership. A fine chance for inter-patrol
competition, new songs, stunts and games.
Reward winners with a plate of ice-cream
at supper. Offer some recognition for the
Scout who originates the best group game,
using only what he finds at hand.
An impromptu simple pageant dramatiz-
ing some local event of the camp or town,
can be gotten up quickly. Acting the role
of a strange character helps a boy get
rid of self-consciousness. The advantage
of a minstrel show lies in the fact that
everyone can take part and any particular
kind of talent may be utilized. A cork,
charred in the fire or candle flame, makes
good blacking. The orchestra consists of
a large pot for bass drum, a tin pan as
snare-drum, and tissue paper spread over
the teeth of combs and hummed upon for
all the other instruments. The leader di-
rects the symphony (?), playing himself
Upon the camp bugle into which he may
stick a kazoo in place of the mouthpiece.
But rainy days should not be given over
entirely to play. A rainy day gives a boy
an opportunity for concentration. Here,
then, is a good chance for work in prepara-
tion for merit badge tests. Break up the
day's program with possibly an hour in
the morning and an hour in the ofternoon
given over to this special individual work.
To the more adventurous, the storm hike
will make its appeal. Such an expedition,
of course, requires special opportunity and
necessitates careful preparation. Learn-
ing to travel under adverse conditions
happily and safely is the important feature.
