8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1921 PUBLIC SCOUT NIGHT DEMANDS YOUR TIME Annual Event Will Furnish Thrills Aplenty With Drills, Con- tests and Tenderfoot Examinations MEDALS FOR MOST SKILL Opportunity To See How Boys Work Out Motto, "Be Prepared"'--All At Community House Once each year the Boy Scouts of Troop No. 1, Winnetka, put on a Public Scout Night in Community House gymnasium. On Thursday eve- ning, April 21, the Scouts are plan- ning a bigger evening than ever be- fore, and the public will then be given an opportunity to join in the fun with them. Do you wish to see the scouts at work and at play, to witness feats of skill, and contests of all kinds? Do you wish to enjoy a Scout play writ- ten by one of our own Scouts, and acted by our boys? Will you enter into the fun of watching them in the O'Grady Drill-Down when each boy must do the reverse of the order given? Perhaps you do not know how well your boy, or your neigh- bor's boy can tie the standard knots, can give and receive messages by the semaphore and international codes, can build a bridge or throw a hatchet. Have you ever witnessed a Tenderfoot examination? Do you realize the dignity and beauty of it? An opportunity will be given to see this on Thursday evening. Medals wil® be awarded, and prizes given to the boys showing the greatest skill and merit. "Be Prepared" You will have a chance to see how the boys work out the Scout motto, "Be prepared." Before a boy becomes a Scout he must promise on his honor he will do His best. 1. To do his duty to God and his country, and to obey the Scout law. 2. To help other people at all times. 3. To keep himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. When he takes this oath, he promises to obey the following Scout laws--a Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent. What Is a Scout? There are three classes of Scouts, the tenderfoot, second class Scout, and first class Scout. To be a ten- derfoot, a boy must be at least twelve years of age, and must pass a test in the following: 1. Know the Scout law, sign, salute, and significance of badge. 2. Know the composition and history of the national flag and cus- tomary forms of respect due to it. 3. Tie four standard knots. The examination for second class Scout is more comprehensive and rigid and includes among other things, elementary first aid, elemen- tary signaling, tracking, increased knowledge of first aid, proper use of knife and hatchet, ability to build fire in open, saving at least one dol- lar in public bank, knowing the points of the compass, etc. The first class Scout is required to have additional knowledge in these things, and to do many more difficult things, such as swimming fifty yards, correct reading of maps, etc. He must be conversant in na- ture lore and camp craft, and must put into practice in his daily life the principles of the Scout oath and law. Celebrate Tenth Birthday On Thursday evening these Scouts will celebrate a birthday, as they have completed ten years of Scout work under the same organization. The present local Court of Honor of the Boy Scouts consists of L. B. Sherman, chairman; S. Bowles King, secretary; Norman K. Anderson, Frederick S. Tyrrell, Eugene A. Rum- mler, Frank A.
