Just Talks With Scouts
- Conducted By Mabel Putnam Chilson -
As a nation we hare bn criticized
for. having the eagle a our emblem.
He la not kind; he is not courteous;
' he believes in seeking whom he may
devour; his eye la keen and his dis
position grasping. But he is alert;
he Is prepared. With his wings spread
; out as he hovers over his nest in pro
tection of his young, he is magnificent
The enemy fears him, hut his children
love him, while ' the public admires
' him. He lores the heights and makes
his nest where he can look down on
common birds; he is in reality a lotty
feathered king. We take him for his
fine qualities and forget the rest. .
Oar emblem, then, represents a lofty
- state of being, which 1s. perhaps diffi
cult to attain: therefore it becomes
valuable. That la, the symbol becomes
valuable to us because It coat us time
and strength and will-power to get it
Any life and star scout who struggles
to be an eagle snut Is made of good
stuff ; let's help him.

Scout Duncin nearly lost his bal
ance when he went out to Moiliili
one evening lately to talk "scouting"
to some boys gathered there to hear
about our khaki lads. He was over
come by having about 75 boys put in
an appearance; but got control of
the situation by- taking a whiff of
smelling salts i-nd touching a few of
his badees and by rerrembering that
he is a Hawaiian scout for sure. The
meeting wound up with sn agreement
to form a new troop; so now for an
other scoutmaster.

" First Class Scouts Henry Copp and

Many of the boys said that they
had the best time of their lives in
camp. As usual, like other scouts, they
readily responded to the "swimming
and mess calls. Boat riding and
swimming were greatly enjoyed. Every
afternoon we had one hour of hard
practise on scout craft and test pass

the enjoyable meals he cooked. Th
camp was lively from morning till

We had camp fires on Tuesday and
