FOREST RANGERS
Can't Be Wrong!
You can ask for no better recommendation
for our sleeping bag than the fact that during
the past three years the U. S. Forest Service
has purchased over 3 0,000 Forest Ranger
Sleeping Bags from us. You get this same
sleeping bag—up to U. S. F. S. specifica-
tions—when you order a Forest Ranger.

BAG
America's Most Popular Sleeping Bag!
There are more Forest Rangers in regular use
in the U. S. than any other make of sleeping
bag. Only because we standardize on one
model, buying best materials in large quanti-
ties and saving on manufacturing, can we offer
this quality sleeping bag at these low prices.
A light-weight, quality sleeping bag that has
stood all tests—the Forest Ranger is superior
to any other sleeping bag in its price class.

SUMMER PROGRAMMING
FOR OUR TROOP
(Continued from page 23)
fall in step with the gang upon their
return. Weekly issues of the "93
Trooper" which are delivered to the
homes of absent members supplement
the printed program and contain an-
nouncements of changes and additions.
What to have in the program? First
of all, weekly meetings. Outdoors, of
course. In 93 we get together each
Monday in a nearby park in full Scout
Uniform, and depart for a suitable
camping spot at 7:00 P.M. in cars
provided by various parents, Troop
Committeemen, and Troop Officers.
Many of the boys take their bikes, if
the distance is not too great. You wTill
observe that each meeting is listed un-
der some special title: athletic night,
stunt night, treasure hunt, swim night,
family night, etc. These events take up
the major part of the evening, although
there is still time for opening and clos-
ing ceremonies; songs, stories, and
sometimes marshmallows around the
camp fire; Scoutcraft periods; and an
occasional speaker on weeds, flowers,
trees, or astronomy.
An active Summer Program must
not stop with weekly meetings. Try
industrial trips. They are Scouting in
a very modern sense. They provide
adventure, excitement, and first hand
knowledge. They correlate Scout work
with school work. They awaken inter-
est in Merit Badges. They appeal to
both the twelve and eighteen-year-old.
They bring the laboring man and the
business executive in contact with
Scouting. Of course arrangements for
trips should be made before they are
listed in the program. Scouts should
meet in some preselected spot and go
to the plant in a group. This gives
clever leaders a chance to talk Scout-
ing into their boys, to discuss their
advancement, to talk over what the
Troop has done and what it will do.
The tour can be discussed in relation
to vocations, necessary schooling, wages,
and even possible improvement of proc-
esses or working conditions. Industrial
trips can thus provide an informal edu-
cation. Of course it goes without saying
that such trips must be conducted by a
responsible leader. It is well to contact
the plant a few days before the sched-
uled tour to make sure that the trip
has not been forgotten or made impos-
sible because of remodeling, shutdowns,
or labor trouble.
Many hikes, both day and over
night, should go into the program.
Because of leadership conditions we
found it desirable to conduct hikes on
a Patrol basis, two Patrols at a time.
The small groups seemed to enjoy
themselves more than the larger ones.
Hikes should be planned as carefully
as meetings. There should be variety,
exploration hikes, Robinson Crusoe
hikes, bird hikes and many more.
The summer offers a great number
of other activities which must not be
overlooked. Merit Badge classes and
individual contests in woodcarving, ,
photography, and leaf and flowTer col-
lections can be used to advantage.
Fourth of July, Labor Day, state and
county fairs, picnics, parades, conven-
tions, and local celebrations of various
sorts all offer opportunity for civic
service or good turns.
This being Scouting's Twenty-fifth
Anniversary, why not make this sum-
mer one of glorious memories for all,
including those not fortunate enough
to attend the National Jamboree?

motion of Jamboree enrollment, we
have available the National Jamboree

copies for $2.00 and one hundred copies
for $3.50.
There is also available a folder "On
to Washington" at the rate of $1.00
per hundred.
