1976, Tom-Wat
We like competition. And our competition obviously
likes us, because they try to copy everything we do.
But that's not the point.
The point is, there's only one Tom-Wat. And if
you've never used a Tom-Wat Show*Case project to
raise funds for your Troop or Pack, you don't know
what you've been missing.
For instance, you've missed the biggest profits in
Scout fund raising—anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000.
You've missed the most exciting selection of top quality,
yet bargain-priced fund-raising products—anywhere
from 18 to 20 products in every Show*Case. And you've
missed the chance to work with the friendliest, most
knowledgeable people in the business.
Discover what you've been missing.
Send for a Sample Show*Case. There's no cost
and no obligation. You don't have to return it, even
though it will be filled with at least $25.00 worth of
exciting products. All we ask is that you compare our
products, our plan, and your profit potential with any
other "kit'' plan around.
We'll let the numbers speak for themselves.

MOUNTAINEERING (from pane 37)
MacAllester and other trained
mountaineers lecture regularly on sur-
vival and mountain safety, not only to
the Scouts but to troop committeemen
who always go along as advisers. AMC
manuals and such Scouting publications
as the Scout Handbook, Fieldbook,
Tours and Moving Camps and articles
from Boys' Life and Scouting are used
for training material.
Over the years, the troop has trav-
eled to mountains in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont. Originally,
the Scouts backpacked and stayed in
trail shelters. But for three years now
the guys and their fathers have stayed
near White Mountain trails at a historic
old farm house, The Brickett Place,
which is owned by the Forest Service
and maintained by Troop 119 of Lex-
ington, Mass. This troop rents it out for
a nominal sum to such Scouts as Troop
1 who also help to keep the place in
shape. By day hiking out of this central
location, the troop avoids putting addi-
tional burdens on already overloaded
camping spots in the White Mountains.
They get a chance to travel quieter
and less-populated trails, and also per-
form a public service.
Each of the day hikes on three of
the four days of the trip are planned
long before the troop leaves Dover.
Considered in the routing are com-
plete emergency escape routes that
lead to troop cars, positioned at the
trailheads each morning by the Scout-
ers. Menus and lists of gear are also
planned in advance, including
emergency foods and first aid equip-
ment. The Scouts scan topo maps for
weeks in advance to familiarize them-
selves with the area.
Field leadership of the troop this
year is under the direction of a four-
year veteran, Senior Patrol Leader and
Eagle Scout Jay Miele. He is assisted
by Troop Scribe and Eagle Scout Da-
vid Heinlein and two patrol leaders,
Mike O'Connell and Greg Ball.
The first hike undertaken on this
trip is typical. After five a.m. reveille
and breakfast, troop leaders inspected
each hiker's gear. Scouts must wear
good boots and carry day packs that
contain a change of socks, suntan lotion
and insect repellent, a small first aid
kit, long-sleeved shirt and long pants
(if they wear shorts on the trail), a hat,
gloves, rain gear, filled canteen and a
share of the lunch and emergency
food. Everyone has a topographic map
of the area and at least every other
Scout carries a supply of matches.
