Material is sup plied by the agencies them- . selres.) A boy scout helping an old lady across the street has pro vided many cartoons, but it bears little relationship to scouts and leaders who spent 13 hours trans porting an injured man down Gth Icy slopes of Mt. McLough lin. A Scout's ability to help oth ers depends upon how well he learns each skill. Boy Scouts are prepared to administer first aid to injured and by aiding in dis asters. When the government needs widespread help, as in war, the Boy Scouts are called upon. In the "Get Out the Vote" campaign, they participate. When a Scout increases his kills, he is advanced from a Tenderfoot to the highest award, the Eagle award. " Many of these skills are prac tlsed at Camp McLoughlin, lo cated at Lake of the Woods, where the United Medford Cru sade assists in making low op erational costs per scout possible, Craft skills were taught to 834 Scouts and Eplorers in 1955, a a 22 per cent gain in attendance over 1954.'
