CAMPING AND ACTIVITIES
Increasing the Scout's interest and enriching
his experience through Camping and various
other Scouting Activities is the job of Scout
Leaders. The challenge of character devel-
opment, citizenship training, and leadership
development faces every Leader of boys.
How to meet this challenge is not easy to
say. But Camping and Activities, a new fas-
cinating 240-page volume of THE LOCAL
COUNCIL MANUAL series, brings together
the complete facts. Every man who takes
pride in being looked up to* as a builder of
men should read this book and keep it as a
constant reference. (Authoritatively written
and published by Boy Scouts of America.)
Catalog No. 3503C $.45
HEALTH AND SAFETY
"On my honor I will do my best ... to keep
myself physically strong . . ." Thus reads in
part the great Scout Oath. And thus physi-
cal fitness is incorporated among the basic
ideals of Scouting. Every Scouter knows this
fact. That's why the new 180-page book,
Health and Safety, published by the Boy
Scouts of America, is slated for overwhelm-
ing success. It includes, among its contents,
a full 50 pages of detailed "how to do"
camping helps.
Catalog No. 3503B $.35
These and other volumes in THE
LOCAL COUNCIL MANUAL series
are published especially for Scouters
who administer the Program in the
Local Council—Committee Members,
Commissioners, Executives and all
other Scouters who are building to-
morrow's healthy, well-trained Amer-
icans. Send in YOUR orders early.

A Slight Case of
Snobbishness
Irving Crump has written a
good fishing story. He knows his
fishing. He it was who wrote the
Angling Merit Badge pamphlet.
Here is a story of two capable
boys who had a certain lesson to
unlearn. It's good character-build-
ing material with a lot of fishing
thrown in.

Birdies Sing
