TEST OF TRUE SCOUT Not what he has been in the past; not what he has memorized in days gone by; nor what he has practiced at some previous time, but rather what his is now, what he is learning now, what he is doing now, and the leader- ship over others that he is demonstrat- ing now--those are the things that count. Those are the tests of a true Scout.

Looks Forward to Busy Autumn Hiking Season When interviewed by the mysterious Scout reporter at Murmuring Waters, Sayner, Wis., Claude Hamilton, Eagle Scout of Troop 13 of Kenilworth, told the reporter that he particularly en- joyed the chance to pass Merit Badge at camp this summer. He suggests that at our own camp next summer there will be a lot of Handicraft work. Claude says that he is looking forward particularly to Troop 13 going on some good hikes during the fall months. Claude is the assistant patrol leader of the Stag Patrol and a Freshman at New Trier High school. He was one of the norshore Scouts elected to membership in the Order of the Arrow this summer. He told the mysterious reporter that his hobbies are fishing and hiking, and his favorite magazines are The American Boy and Popular Mechanics, and that some day he hopes to be an engineer.

Mr. McManus is a graduate of Alma college and of the Scout Executives National Training school and has a record of ten years' Scout- ing experience. He is a Gold Palm Eagle Scout and the recipient of the 1928 Harmon Foundation Scholarship Award for the state of Michigan.

Churches, Schools Lead in Forming Scout Units The Boy Scout program is becoming more and more popular each day as a plan for a local curch or school to use. In a survey made some months ago, it was found that 3,222 Scout troops are operating as a part of the program of the Methodist church. There are 1843 Scout Troops in the Presbyterian church; 1459 in the Bap- tist church; 807 in the Congregational church; 503 in the Lutheran church; 197 in the Evangelical church, 948 in the Protestant Episcopal church. At the time of the survey 988 troops were being carried on by the Roman Catholic church; 259 by Jewish Syn- agogues, and 158 by Knights of Colum- bus organizations. American Legion Posts sponsor 741 troops; Elks clubs 120 troops; other fraternal organizations 445 troops. A total of 1970 Scout troops are operated as a part of work in public schools, and 131 in private schools. Rotary clubs have been responsible for 307 troops, and Kiwanis 181. The above figures were compiled several months ago and many more troops have since been formed. Add Funny Names to List of New Camp Suggestions There is a prize to be given to the lucky boy who names our beautiful new camp in northern Wisconsin.
