Boy Scouts

contributed article by a Scouter on request. The Troop is the Scouts’; its Log should be theirs too. This will entail considerable encouragement and prompting on the Scoutmaster’s part at first, but once it has been got going well there should not be so much difficulty in keeping it going. The Log should not be just a bare record of programmes and badges awarded. These should appear, but be written up in an interesting kind of way, special mention being made of anything very exciting and amusing. Chaff – especially of the Scouters – should be allowed and encouraged. It makes for a very happy family spirit if such chaff is taken in good part, and appreciated for what it is – a token of affectionate regard. Boys are not inclined to chaff those whom they do not like; they are more apt to ignore them altogether. The Log should be illustrated too by any sketches or photographs that the Scouts like to contribute. If there is an artistic Scouter in the Troop, he may be invited to contribute a sketch now and then, especially if he can picture a landscape that the Troop likes, or can make a humorous drawing of some incident in camp. The Out-of-doors and Camp should bulk largely in every Troop’s Log.

Such a book will not only be of value to the Troop itself, but will be of interest to parents, visiting Scouters and others. The activities and nature of the Troop should be reflected in it.
