THAT'LL SHOW 'EM. When Cub
Scout Barry Foote insisted on wearing
his uniform to school on a Wednesday
morning, his mother reminded him that
his den meeting wasn't until Friday.
Barry persisted and mom gave in. After
school that afternoon Barry confided in
his mother: "All the Brownies wear their
uniforms to school on Wednesday and
I wanted to show them I was a Cub
Scout."

JAMBOREE'S ORIGIN. Before the
first world Scout jamboree at Olympia.
England, in 1920, leaders asked Lord
Baden-Powell. Scouting's founder, for
a name for the activity. He remem-
bered that, when he had visited Aus-
tralia in 1912, he had heard of the
aborigine Corroborees. He looked uo
the word in a dictionary and found
something like this: "A gathering of
aborigines, for the "ur^ose of competi-
tions . . . usually ending in bloodshed
and a drunken carousal." He knew this
would hard'v a *'v to a gathering of
Scouts, but he kn^w that they would be
all jammed in together, so he coined
the word "ia<~v cee."

NEW SERVICE CENTER. A ground
breaking program for the Morris and
John D. Schaniro Scout Service Center,
Baltimore, Md., was held June 21. The
$400,000 center, gift of the Morris
Schapiro and Family Foundation, is ex-
pected to be completed early in 1969 and
will serve 15,000 adult leaders of the
Baltimore Area Council.
LUCKY. Thirteen cadets from the U.S.
Coast Guard Academy at New London,
Conn., all former Eagle Scouts, served
as judges at a district camporee in the
Pequot Council.
MILE HIGH POST. Explorer Post 44,
sponsored by the San Joaquin (Calif.)
County Sheriffs Air Squadron, helped
park airplanes, washed windshields, car-
ried luggage, afid furnished transporta-
tion to and from the Stockton Metro-
politan Airport when their sponsor held
the Sheriff's Air Squadron Western
States "Fly In." Post members also
have given many hours cleaning and
painting the squadron's building at the
airport. Last July the post received its
charter (second year) while flying a
mile high over Stockton.
DO IT YOURSELF. Tent making hasn't
gone out of style—at least not in Port-
land, Me. A recent bulletin of the Pine
Tree Council announced a 1 day course
of instruction in tent designing, layout,
seams and how to sew them, and how to
use D-rings. The council furnished all
materials and equipment, including
treadle sewing machines. One could take
home a tent costing from $4.50 to
$14.50, depending on his choice of
styles.
PANCAKE CAMPERS. Each year the
Order of the Arrow of the Theodore
Roosevelt Council. Phoenix, Ariz.,
holds a pancake breakfast to raise funds
to help send underprivileged boys to
camp.
Den 4 "DADS." For a goodwill proj-
ect Den 4 of Pack 175, Babbitt. M'nn.,
"adopted" six boys at the Bra:nard
State Hospital. Each month the Cubs
write letters to their charges and rro-
vide them money for treats—16 cents
out of their own budgets. During the
Christmas holidays, the pack made
games, puzzles, puppets, and other gifts
for the needy.
B&G TEA. Most of the Cubs in my
den were Spanish Americans. When it
came time for the blue and gold ban-
quet. I was undecided. Many families
would not attend a banquet, I felt, so
I had a blue and gold tea. We served
coffee, punch, and brownies. Each boy
covered nut cups in blue with gold stars
and made a yellow and blue corsage for
his mother. We had eight boys, their
parents, the Cubmaster. and our Lamar
School principal attend. We thought it
quite successful.
