It certifies that so-and- so of Stratford, Ontario, "has pas- sed satisfactorily in the above part, and is signed by John A. Stiles, Do- minion Camp Chief. Proficiency Badges. Proficiency Badges seem to be the most sought for badges a Scout can get. Nothing pleases the ordinary boy more than to have a whole row of badges on his arm ,and indeed, in some cases the Scout who has_ his arm covered with Proficiency Badges is a pretty clever Scout. But this is not always the case. There is a dan- ger of a Scout getting the badges more for the sake of covering his arm rather than gain- ed by earning one, and in most cases the Scout who has his arm covered for the knowledge with badges knows less than the Scout who has only a few, but who knows what he is wearifg them for? If you are going to try for Proficien- cy Badges, don't pick out the easiest ones you can find and get them, take one that is going to do you some real good, such as the Rescuers, lance Man, Pathfinders, and mers.

But is it that can give to a stranger in the city, directions to any part Of: it; or when a person is injured that can step in and do the right thing that is going to save the person's life, or a hundred and one other useful things a Scout must know to be able to wear a King's Scout Proficiency Badge? Where to Wear Your Proficiency Badges: The Ambulance Badge, the most important of all Public Service Badges, is worn on BOTH shoulders at the top--above all other badges. Public Service Badges, or qualify- ing badges, for the King's Scout Badge, namely, Ambulance, Cyclist, Pathfinder, Interpreter, Marksman, Fireman, Public Health Man, Signal- ler, Rescuer, Pilot, and Coast Watch- man, are all worn, with the exception of the Ambulance Badge, which is worn on both shoulders, on the LEFT arm ONLY above the Second or First it that cannot | who | Class Badge as the case may be. Other Proficiency Badges are worn in parallel rows on the RIGHT arm, between the elbow and the shoulder. Above them will be the Ambulance Badge whenever it is gained> There has always been much argu- ment as to which way the Proficiency Badges should be worn on the arm. Some Scouts sew their badges on @ piece of green felt and then sew the felt on the shirt, or fasten it on by means of elastic bands. This method saves much time when the shirt is to be washed, though some Scouts do not take off their badges when their shirt is washed. This may save a lot of trouble, but it is not advisable as the badges soon become faded and appear: ance. But as there is no rule gov- | erning the way your badges are sewn on the shirt and the Scout may put his badges on in whatever way he | feels looks best. Warmth at Night While Camping. Many Scouts find it difficult to keep warm at night when out camp- ing. This is nearly always due to the fact that they have not a sufficient thickness of clothes beneath them. | Whatever the kind of bed, you really (Continued on page 7° Don't Blame The Cook USE "SWEET BRIAR" High-Grade Manitoba Flour "PRIDE of STRATFORD" Baking and Pastry "VICTORIA" Pastry Flour * « * Made by the Stratford Flour Mills Chas.

The Second Troop. The meeting of June 9, opened with flag break and salute. After this the Scouts were allowed to study what they wished. The boys made the best of this time and knots, first aid, things were studied. After some time of this Morse Signalling was tak- en up using flashlights. The Scouts are fast learning the Morse Code and should be proficient signallers very soon, After this' the meeting was brought to a close with flag lowering and dismiss.

The newly formed fourth Stratford Troop went on a very interesting hike the other day. A large map had been drawn by the S.M. and given to the troop before starting on the hike. On it were mapped-out places where let- ters and other articles were hidden. The course taken was along the north shore of the river along the road that leads to William street, along William street to Mornington Road to the cross roads the other side of the tracks and then South through two large fields. We did pretty good in finding four out of the five letters hidden. We ended our hike behind the golf links where we had an inter- esting ball game--the score Was too big for words. al "TIRES | SEE US BEFORE BUYING Harold A.
