October and November feature
"Trail Craft" in most Scout Troops,
and that's logical. It's great to be
outdoors, and even day hikes can
give quite a thrill to that new crop
of Scouts who joined in the Fall
Round Up.
To help all Scoutmasters and their
boys, Boy§' Life features again this
month the skills of "Trail Craft,"
a little more advanced than last
month because your boys are learn-
ing by experience.
This issue of Scouting is packed
with ideas you can use in your No-
vember program, and your October
Boys' Life will give to you and your
boys a raft of additional material.
Using your Program Notebook,
Scouting, and Boys' Life — you
will never run out of program ma-
terial! But your Troop needs "all
three," remember that.
In your October Boys' Life you'll
find a good "Compass Hike" by Wil-
liam Hillcourt, an idea you will want
to try with your boys. Within the
reach of any boy, too, is the "Lite-
pac Ground Cloth-Poncho" as pic-
tured and explained by Ernie
Schmidt.
Stars are a part of "Trail Craft"
too, so you can learn how to be sky-
wise from Roy Gallant who tells it
in another photo feature. "Hiking
with Green Bar Bill" is designed
for your PL's, and you'll find your
boys talking about the new Phil-
mont yarn by William McMorris,
newest member of the all-star Boys'
Life staff.
But that's just the beginning! The
back-of-the-book is full of spark-
ling ideas and things to do, outlined
and pictured by old favorites like
Ben Hunt, Glenn A. Wagner, and
the rest.
Jamboree Flashback
We were proud of our Boys' Life
exhibit at the Jamboree. Designed
as a twice a day show, our hard
working editorial staff wound up by
putting on a continuous perform-
ance. If you were there, you saw
Scouts and Explorers by the hun-
dreds watching demonstrations and
talking things over with their fa-
vorite authors, Jim English, Ben
Hunt, Glenn Wagner, Frank Rigney,
Roy Gallant, A1 Krause, Ernie
Schmidt, Bill Hillcourt and the rest.
There wasn't any doubt that what
these men had was "just right" for
our Scouts!
Well, we can't have your boys
learn from these men, face to face,
until another Jamboree. In the
meantime, through the pages of
Boys' Life these Scouting experts
can visit your boys in their homes
each month. It will help your pro-
gram, no doubt about it!
Boys' Life is $3 a year, and worth
it! Still, your Council office offers
you very special Scout rates de-
signed to place Boys' Life in the
hands of every man and boy. They'll
be glad to tell you about it.
Good Scouting!
