The illustration of stenciling and
the Indian Head design were made by
Stacy H. Wood, Scout Commissioner of
Siwanoy Council, Westchester, N. Y.,
who had a very graphic article on
"Stencilcraft" in the December, 1932,
issue of SCOUTING. Unfortunately,
there are not sufficient numbers of this
old issue available to supply any back
numbers at all, but your Council Office
may have it in their files.
The following is a brief extract from
this article:
"The actual stenciling is done with
oil paint; the kind that comes in tubes
and is obtainable at artists' supply
stores and most hardware shops. A
small amount of paint is squeezed out
on a piece of blotting paper. This ab-
sorbs a greater part of the oil in the
paint and makes it less liable to run.
"The most satisfactory brush is a
round one, about a quarter inch in
diameter, with stiff bristles. After prac-
tice in designing and cutting stencils,
when finer lines and smaller spaces are
wanted, a brush about an eighth of
an inch in diameter will be necessary.
"In applying paint to the stencil the
end of the brush is used and the paint
is dabbed on a little at a time with ver-
tical strokes. It should be patted into
the fabric and not brushed from side
to side as in painting.

"After the entire surface has been
covered the thumb tacks are removed
and the stencil carefully lifted. Hang
the finished article up and allow to dry
for about twenty-four hours. Stenciling
is effective in one color, but two or
more colors may be used after a little
experience has been gained."
If any of your branded stuff strays,
it will be "hazed" home and come
high-tailing it into your corral bellerin'
for you to claim them.

Look at this swell set for a Jam-

Learn how to read brands and then
go to work.

THE CENTRAL WYOMING
CORRAL
By C. E. HOOKER
Neighborhood Commissioner Casper, Wyo.
The Jamboree Troop from the Cen-
tral Wyoming Council, representing
an area which embraces a large part of
the old "Cattle Country" as well as
the Oregon Trail and Independence
Rock territory, has decided to give its
camp at the Jamboree the atmosphere
of the cattle country and the old-time
cattle ranch. The camp is to be en-
closed by a pole fence, similar to the
pole enclosures which make up a cor-
ral, a term used to describe an enclos-
ure used to confine cattle or horses.
The entrance to the corral is through
a typical Wyoming gate, constructed of
poles, hinged on the hub of a wagon
wheel, and fastened by a horseshoe on
a chain. On the gate and fence will be
displayed various relics of the pioneer
days, such as buffalo skulls, old ox
yokes reminiscent of the emigrant days,
