important skills you can have for help-
ing others. Then when you're looking
for trouble, people will welcome you.
They won't groan and say, "Oh, no,
here's the kid who's just looking for
trouble!"
BE PREPARED. Page 320, Scoutmas-
ter's Handbook.
MENTALLY AWAKE. (Have a junior
assistant Scoutmaster enter the room
apparently in the throes of choking.
He's gasping, grabbing at his throat,
turning red in the face. See what the
response is.)
Well, Scouts, that was scary, wasn't
it? How many of you knew what ap-
parently was happening to Jim? How
many of you knew what to do?
Jim was just acting, of course, to make
a point. The point is that you have to be
mentally awake to be prepared to give
first aid. It's one thing to practice slap-
ping backs and doing the manual
thrusts in troop meetings. It's another to
recognize trouble when it comes and
know what to do without panicking.
Sure, you may be scared when you have
to make a rescue or give real first aid
when it counts. But that's the real test of
a first aider.
Be alert to recognize trouble. When it
comes, stay cool. Then act. You'll
probably be better prepared to help
than anyone else around.

CEREMONIES
I. Form troop in brotherhood circle with
arms around each other's shoulders.
Sing "He's Got the Whole World in His

dismisses troop.
III. Assigned Scouts working on Cit-
izenship skill award retire colors and

FEATURE EVENTS
I. FIRST AID RALLY. This is interpatrol
competition in first aid problems. It
may be the highlight event of a troop
family night. If you have not had a court
of honor within the last three months,
consider having one following the rally.
For the rally, you will need a "victim"
for each of four or five problems. Vic-
tims may be troop committee members,
parents, or junior assistant Scoutmas-
