Field Book
I would like to know where I could
pick up a Scout Field Book. 1 had one
at one time but gave it away. I have
been to Phoenix to all the Scout dis-
tributors and find they don't have it.
Now that I am an assistant Scoutmas-
ter, 1 realize the book will be helpful.

The Field Book has been out of print
for a number of years. A copy is now
a collector's item. A new edition, text
and pictures, is under way. Your coun-
cil and distributors will have copies
when it is published. If you will be
patient, you are sure to like the new
book.
Cub Scout salute
Re the letter of Mrs. Bernice Mazur
and the reply in June-July Scouting
Magazine, please refer to page 30,
"Staging Den and Pack Ceremonies."
It reads: "Cub Scouts, whether in uni-
form or not, should give the Cub
Scout salute."
Mrs. Joe Collins
Lamont, Calif.
You quote correctly—from the 1960
edition of Staging Den and Pack Cere-
monies. But the book was incorrect—
this is a violation of the Flag Code.
The 1963 printing of the book was cor-
rected to read, page 30, "Cub Scouts
in uniform should give the Cub Scout
salute, those in civilian clothes remove
their cap or hat, stand at attention,
and place their right hand over their
heart." The 1966 printing further says,
page 29, "To avoid embarrassment to
some who may not know flag etiquette,
the leader should explain to parents,
visitors, and Cub Scouts not in uniform
that they should salute, on command,
by placing their right hand over their
hearts. If ceremony is out-of-doors and
men not in uniform are wearing hats,
they should, of course, remove them
and hold them over their heart." Cub
Scouts not in uniform thus do the same
as men not in uniform.
Protestant committee
on Scouting
I was asked to chair the Protestant
committee on Scouting in the Delaware
Valley Council about 8 years ago. In
my 54 years of Scouting, I have never
enjoyed an experience as much as this.
Contacting units and Protestant clergy,
urging that Scouts acquire the God and
Country emblem has really brought
fine results. Meeting with the boys and
their pastors has been a wonderful ex-
perience. I am convinced that the God
and Country, Pro Deo et Patria, Ner
Tamid, Ad Altare Dei, and other re-
ligious emblems are equal to the Eagle
badge in importance. Spiritual knowl-
edge and experience is necessary to
round out the character of a Scout as
is the moral, physical, and Scout skills.
The last 2 years, I have presented each
Scout at the time of review or the
ceremony in church with a copy of
Prayers for Scouts by Walter Dudley
Cavert. I suggest that Scouting Maga-
zine could mention the availability of
this fine book.

distributor. May you continue your
valuable and interesting experience in
Scouting as you have for 54 years.
Jewelry
I am quite put out with the ad in
Scouting Magazine for the Ax-in-the-
Log jewelry tie tack (page 32, March;
page 23, May). I purchased one of
these at the Wood Badge Training
Course at Camp Delmont. We were
told that these were for sale only to
men taking Wood Badge. As a Scouter
of long standing, roundtable commis-
sioner, and three-bead Wood Badger,
I violently object.
Leonard L. Reed, Sr.
Schwenksville, Pa.
The congressional charter granted to
the Boy Scouts of America protects the
official insignia. Thus the sale of offi-
cial badges and insignia is restricted.
Wood Badge items have been developed
through tradition and are not on the
official list, so we cannot restrict the
sale of the item you mention. Local
custom may govern the wear of un-
restricted items, but that depends on
the strength of tradition and Scouters'
goodwill.
XII World Jamboree
The inside back cover of May Scout-
ing Magazine had a little information
about the jamboree to be held in Idaho
in 1967. I am interested and I would
very much like to go. I would appre-
ciate more information.
ASPL David Fahrmeier
Troop 423, Baltimore, Md.
You should ask the Baltimore Area
Council office for information. They
know the council and Region 3 plans.
There are a number of necessary quali-
fications. Two basic ones are that a
Scout must be between 14 and 18 years
of age and must have attained Life
rank or higher before April 1, 1967.
Also see the jamboree story in Scouting
Magazine of February 1966. H
