race. The problem: The victim has
fallen through the ice. The Patrol
lines up 10 or 15 feet away, each
member with a four-foot rope. At
the signal, each ties his rope to the

Space does not permit us to tell
all the details for a month's pro-
gram. Bound volumes of Scouting,
the How Book of Scouting, the

the Handbook for Patrol Leaders
will help. Every Troop library
