Reynolds A.L.MASLEY, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN D W TEISBERG, ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE FOUR LAKES COUNCIl BOY SCOUTS OF AMERIC WHY OF GAMES THERE IS A FAMOUS MAXIM WHICH SAYS THAT "IT IS WHAT A PUPIL DOES FOR HIMSELF AND NOT WHAT SOMEONE DOES FOR HIM THAT EDUCATES," WE CAN SAFELY GO FARTHER AND SAY THAT THE EDUCATIVE VALUE OF WHAT HE DOES WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH VIGOR HE PUTS INTO IT AND HOW LONG HE KEEPS AT IT. THIS IS WHY PLAY IS SO IMPORTANT IN EDUCATION, CHILDREN ENTER INTO THEIR PLAY WITH SO MUCH VIM AND ENTHUSIASM AND KEEP AT IT SO MANY HOURS A DAY THAT IT DOES MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE TO STIMULATE AND GUIDE THEIR DEVELOPMENT,-PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND MORALLY. WE EMPLOY PLAY IN EDUCATION IN TWO WAYS. FIRST, WE TRY TO BRING THE INSPIRING ATMOSPHERE OF PLAY INTO THE REGULAR SUBJECTS OF THE PROGRAM BY TEACHING IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CREATE INTEREST. SECOND, % TEACH, EITHER AS A PART OF THE PROGRAM OR IN ADDITION TO IT, FORMS OF PLAY THAT HAVE IN EARLIER TIMES BEEN USED ONLY AS AMUSEMENTS AND DIVERSIONS AND THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SUPPOSED TO BE AT ALL RELATED TO EDUCATION. THOUGHTFUL PLANNING OF THE LEISURE TIME OF A PERSON OR FAMILY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE RECREATION IS SUCH A NATURAL AND ESSENTIAL PART OF EVERY NORMAL LI FE. IT IS RECOGNIZED AS A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE IN EDUCATION; IT BUILDS A POSITIVE "LET'S DO SOMETHING" ATTITUDE. THROUGH RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES WE DEVELOP RESOURCEFULNESS AND ALERTNESS, AS WELL AS FIND RELAXATION AND REST FROM THE WORKADAY PROBLEMS. PLAY TIMES ARE HAPPY TIMES, ASSOCIATED WITH PLEASURABLE EMOTIONS. THROUGH SHARING PLEASANT EXPERIENCES, RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUIL` UP AND STRENGTHENED. IN PLAYING A GOOD GAME ONE LEARNS TO GIVE AND TAF SO ESSENTIAL IN ALL SOCIAL LIFE. MODERN LIFE TENDS TO PULL FAMILIES AWAY FROM HOME; FUN CAN HELP KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER. LEISURE HOURS LIKE MONEY MUST BE SAVED BEFORE THEY CAN BE SPENT. SO ALSO WITH THE CUB FUN HOURS. THEY MUST BE PLANNED. WHAT TO DO? THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO DO, SO MANY SONGS TO KNOW AND SING, SO MANY GAMES TO KNOW HOW TO PCAY, SO MANY DISTINCT HOBBIES FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE. EVERY PERSON SHOULD LEARN SOME NEW GAMES WHICH CAN BE PLAYED BY A FEW PEOPLE OR EVEN ONLY ONE; SHOULD KNOW SOME FOLK SONGS AND MUSICAL GAMES, SHOULD CONSTRUCT AND US. SOME EQUIPMENT SUCH AS PUPPETS, AND SHOULD HAVE A HOBBY. HOW OF GAMES A. IN PLANNING I. FIND OUT ALL YOU CAN AHEAD OF TIME. A. THE TYPE OF GROUP YOU WILL HAVE (APPROXIMATE Nuu:ERA AGES, WHAT EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE HAD WITH THIS TYPE u- RECREATION. B. THE SPACES EQUIPMENT. (LOOK OVER THE PLACE YOURSELF IF POSSIBLE.) C. HOW MUCH TIME YOU ARE TO USE. 2, SELECT AND PLAN THE ORDER OF YOUR ACTIVITIES. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE CUBS EXPECT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. A. PLAN SOMETHING FOR THEM TO DO AS THEY ENTER THE HALL. B. PLAN FOR SOMETHING ACTIVE EARLY IN THE PROGRAM SO THAT THEIR CIRCULATIONS WILL BE STIRRED. C. ALTERNATE QUIET AND ACTIVE GAMES SO THAT THEY WILL NOT FEEL DISCOMFORT. D. PLAN SMOOTH CHANGES FROM ONE ACTIVITY TO THE NEXT SO THAT THERE WILL BE THE LEAST POSSIBLE CONFUSION AND LOSS OF INTEREST. USUALLY THE CHANGE OF FORMATION ITSELF CAN BE A GAME, (FOR EXAMPLE, --COME ALONG," TO GET A CIRCLE FORMED. E. SELECT FOR FIRST PART OF PROGRAM ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE PRACTICALLY NO EFFORT TO LEARN. F. HAVE SEVERAL EXTRA ACTIVITIES --UP YOUR SLEEVE" SO THAT YOU CAN QUICKLY SHIFT TO SOMETHING ELSE IF PART OF YOUR PROGRAM --GOES FLAT. G. PLAN SO THAT THERE IS A CLIMAX AND AN INTERESTING FINISH. B. IN DIRECTING THE GAMES I. SOME GENERAL POINTS TO FOLLOW. A. HAVE WHISTLE EQUIPMENT AND MUSIC NEAR AT HAND. B. SEE THAT THE GENERAL AIR CONDITIONS (TEMPERATURE, CIRCULA- TION, ETC.) ARE SATISFACTORY. C. AT THE VERY BEGINNING, MAKE CLEAR THAT FOR THE SAKE OF ALL YOU MUST hAVE ATTENTION WHEN TRYING TO GIVE DIRECTIONS. D. WAIT IN AN EXPECTANT MANNER FOR ATTENTION. E. MAINTAIN A MANNER THAT IS ZESTFUL, POISED, BRISK, FRIENDLY. F. BE QUICK TO MAKE USE OF ANY INCIDENT TO HELP PRESENT YOUR POINTS IN AN INTERESTING FASHION. G. SHOW CONSIDERATION FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS MADE BY THE GROUPS. H. KEEP VOICE WELL PITCHED AND ADJUST THE VOLUME TO SUIT THE PLACE. MAKE IT STIMULATING AND ENCOURAGING. I. STAND IN THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS POSITION, FOR EXAMPLE, (I) IN CIRCLE ACTIVITIES--•BE PART OF THE CIRCLE AS YOU TALK; GET INTO CENTER OF CIRCLE TO DEMONSTRATE ACTION. J. GET ACTION STARTED PROMPTLY WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE TALKING. K. I F SOMETHING GOES FLAT DON'T SHOW DISCOURAGEMENT, SARCASM, OR RESENTMENT; WORK THE HARDER TO PULL UP THE GROUP IN THE NEXT ACTIVITY; SOMETIMES JOLLY THEM. 2. GETTING THE GROUP ORGANIZED. A. GET EVERYBODY IN, BUT DONIT LOSE THE WHOLE GROUP WHILE YOU TALK TO ONE PERSON. B. BE SURE THAT TEAMS ARE OF EQUAL SIZE. O. GIVE ANY EXTRA PEOPLE SOMETHING DEFINITE TO DO. (SCORING, TIMING.) 3. GIVING THE GROUP A CLEAR PICTURE. (CONFUSION AND DISSATISFACTION RESULT IF THIS IS NOT WELL DONE.) A. GIVE DIRECTIONS IN FEWEST POSSIBLE WORDS. ARM AND BODY GESTURES OFTEN HELP GIVE A LARGE GROUP THE IDEA. B. DON'T TRY TO GIVE TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME; GET ONE OR TWO IDEAS ACROSS AT A TIME AND BUILD UP TO THE COMPLETE THING. C. DEMONSTRATE; REMEMBER THE GROUP WANTS ACTION, NOT A THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING. D. GIVE THE GENERAL IDEA AND THEN LET THE GROUP TRY IT OUT INFORMALLY TO GET THE FEELING OF IT. THEY WILL THEN BE ABLE TO ASK INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS. E. IT IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO PREPARE YOUR DIRECTIONS WITH WHEN I GIVE THE SIGNAL, 00 THUS AND SO." IF SOME START MOVING THE OTHERS WILL NOT HEAR YOUR DIRECTIONS. 14- . "FOLLOW-UP." A. WATCH CAREFULLY TO LOCATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, THEN CLEAR THEM UP. B. DISTINGUISH BETWEEN LACK OF SKILL IN DOING THE THING AND ACTUAL LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS EXPECTED. C. HAVE THE MAIN IDEAS CLEAR BEFORE TRYING TO PUT ON ANY FINISHING TOUCHES. D. WATCH FOR SIGNS OF FATIGUE. (I) WORK TO A PHYSIOLOGICAL CLIMAX, BUT DON'T MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. ( 2 ) SLOW DOWN THE ACTION I F NECESSARY, FOR EXAMPLE, CHANGE FROM SKIPPING TO WALKING. E. ENCOURAGE THE GROUP "GOOD WORK"' KNOW YOU ARE GETTING IT." F. JUDGE THE BEST LENGTH OF TIME FOR EACH ACTIVITY. ( I ) REPEAT OFTEN ENOUGH TO LEARN I T AND TO GET FUN FROM I T; PEOPLE ENJOY DOING WHAT THEY KNOW HOW TO DO. (2) STOP AND CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE WHILE INTEREST IS STILL HIGH. NOTE: TRAIN YOURSELF TO JUDGE AND SENSE THE TIME TO CHANGE. C. IN MEETING DIFFICULTIES I. THE GROUP IS "DEAD." A. GET THEM ON FEET AND GET THEIR BLOOD CIRCULATING. B. PUT MORE ZEST INTO YOUR OWN VOICE AND MANNER. C. JOLLY THEM INTO ACTIVITY (WITHOUT SARCASM). 2. AN ACTIVITY GOES DEAD. A. KEEP YOUR POISE, DISPOSITION, SPIRIT. B. CHANGE TO SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE' WILL CL ICK.It 3. THE ACTIVITY GOES INTO A „ROUGH HOUSE" THING. CHANGE TO A QUIETING ACTIVITY. POSSIBLY START WITH A GRAND MARCH AND LEAD GROUP TO CHAIRS. START A GAME LIKE ELECTRIC SPARK." L.I. YOU EXPECT 70 AND YOU FIND 7 PEOPLE PRESENT (OR THE REVERSE) A. KEEP YOUR HEAD. B. THINK QUICKLY AND REVISE YOUR PROGRAM (HAVE ON TAP ACTIVITi: FOR LARGE AND FOR SMALL NUMBERS).

Birds ay -- The group is asked to stand and be ready to flap-their arms up and down when the leader names something that flies, and not to flap their arms if he names something that doesn't fly, Eliminate these who err by asking them to sit down, stand on one foot etc. The leader flaps his arms at every command. Examples : Give commands in quick Succ- ession. Ducks fly--geese fly--pigs fly---then pause. 2. Beast, Bard or Fish -- Any number of players. The leader stands ii in front of the group and begins by saying, "Beast Bird or Fish"--then pointing at a particular player, he quickly repeats either beast, bird or fish, and then counts one to ten rapida.lly. If the player pointed at does not name either a beast, bird or fish depending upon what the leader has called, before the leader counts to ten he is "it" and must take the leader's place. Note: The same names may not be repeated. 3. Red, White and.Blue --= Same as above, but name an object wiase color is called. 4. Squat t -- Any number of players. They may stand facing 34 any direction, but close together. One player is "it". He tries to tag anyone who is standing up. In other words those who squat may not be tagged while in the squat position. If a player is tagged he become " it". 5. Nose and Foot Tag -- Number ofplayers and formation as for Squat Tag. One payer is "it". He darts from one to the other quickly tagging anyone who doesn't have his nose in one hand and a foot in the other. 6. Slap T -- Circle formation, if more than twenty players, form a circle. One player who is "it" walks or.runs around on the outside of the circle and tags a player. The person tagged chases the taper or "it" who must get to the place vacated by the one tagged before he is tagged. If he does the one tagged becomes "it". 7. Smoke -- This is a good game for large numbers. Players are arranged iA lines of an even number to the line, like spokes in a wheel, all facing toward a common center. One player is "it", and walks or runs around the outside of the wheel or spokes and tags or slaps the last man on any spoke. (Th object of the game is not to be the last man in the spoke. The last man slaps the player ahead of him. On this si ,na all run to the left or right around the circle and reform the spoke. The la st man on the spoke becomes " it". 8. Sore Spot Tai~ A player tagged must place one hand where he was tagged. whether on the head, knee, heel, hip pocket etc 9. Partner Tai -- Couples or partners join hands and chase other coup `l s" o±r partners. G-A-l 10. Cross Taz -- Start as for plain tag; then anyone who cuts in between-the runner anO the tagge' is chased instead of the original rinner. 11.Squirrel and Nut -- All players except "it" lay their heads on tie r M7ks with one hand plain upward. "it" gives a "nut", Piece of chalk or coin etc. to someone. This player gets up quic]tly and tries to catch "it" before he gets to his regular seat. 12. Ta or Chase Me -- One player is "it". He tags another la-ay7O who gels up quickly and chases the tagger who must get to his-seat before being tagged; otherwise he continues to be "it". 13. Corner Dodgeball. -- Players are divided into four equal groups and each group is assigned to a corner of the roam. Appoint two or three tits" each having a soft ball. The "its" take a position in the center of the room and attempt to hit as many players as possible when the corner players att- empt to change corners. The change may take place on a signal or itmay go as the Cubs dare to run. A player hit be- comes .one of the "its". A ball striking a player or the wall becomes a dead ball and may be retreived by anyone. 14. Sc uir rel in the Trees -- The Cubs form small circles of 3 grasping L7n:3g-to form a tree with a hollow trunk. Cubs re- presenting squirrels stand in each hollow tree. There are more squirrels than there are trees. At the leaders direction the squirrels must change trees. The one left out becomes "it" for the next game. 15. Follow the Leader - The teacher selects a leader who performs e n stunts such as animal'tipalke, climbing or vaulting over seats, hopping, skipping, etc., which the others must imitate. Change leaders frequently. 16. Skipping Tar' -- Two players are chosen, one is the runner, ie otherle chaser or tagger. They must both s kin in the chase.

Of all the tools of the Cubleader, there is none that can compare with Story Telling. A Story can be used for entertainment, as a fill-in or to get over a definite point to the boys. It is good any time, any place and under any conditions. Turn out the lights and set a lighted candle on the floor and your story will supply the rest. Any one the.t has tried to make Story Telling an important part of their programs has found that the most difficult part has been finding the story. This is not necessary,for by following a few simple directions getting your stories becomes FUN. There are five simple rules that you must follow in telling a story; 1. A story is always the solving of a problem. 11. Never let your listner think of any thing else except whet you are telling. 111. Stretch every incident, a. For interest b. To regulate :Length of story 1V. Never change your story into a dream. V. Never add a moral to your story. Now that we have the rules for telling the story,let us find the materiel for creating the story. Every story is a series of obstacles which must be overcome before the problem can be solved. Each obstacle is to lead to e point where solving the problem seems almost impossible. Then with a natural but surprise action, the story is ended. Those obstacles come to us very easily when with our imagination we be- gin to analtee and stretch a simple situation. In analysing the following sentence we find a complete story and. material for many stories. After we have found a point or situation we will begin to stretch it until it takes the form of a story. " A BOY FALLS INTO A HOLE AND CLIMBS OUT" Now to change this sentence into a story we will first give our boy e name and give a location for the action. We will call him TOM and he is e Cub. The story will take place on the farm of Tom's uncle Bill. Tom has come to the farm with his mother and father for a few days visit. Of course we are always qn the :Lookout for material for other stories and while we may not went to use the old home in this story, it can give some fine material for other stories, So let us analyse and hunt around the house and re find; 1. An old house 2. Rooms that have not been opened for thirty years 3. Rooms full of old furniture 4. Rooms full of cob webs and spiders • . 5. Secret door in a room or attic or basement. Of course there are many more things that we could find but this gives you an idea of what you can tt rk.out. Tom puts on his old clothes and starts out for (6)A Stream running through the property--- and on his way he hears (7) P Peculiar Bird Cell--- He looks up in the air for the bird but keeps on walking not looking as to where he is going. Suddenly he feels him-,elf slipping end lands standing up in a hole about eight feet deep. He remembered that a Boy Scout had shorn him how to get out of & hole by digging toe and hand holes in the side of a 2, dirt wall and climbing up as each hole is dug. Torn started up the side of the hole in this mannertbut when he got about a foot and a half from the top,his knife struck something hard. Tom was (8) A Very Curious Boy- and before he could go any furtherihe had to find out what this was. By digging away the dirt/ he found that he had struck the side of (9) A Buried Chest--!•orri here on many different stories could be written, Pirate stories, Hidden Money,may'be a funny story caused by what is found in the chest, and so on. Let us i.magine,though,that Tom remem:ers that Tom's father had told him r.. story about his Grandfather having been a very rich man but hadn't trusted in. banks. He therefore had kept all his money in a chest at home. It had evidently been stolen. That was twenty-fie- years ago. On the day of his grandfather's funeral the family could not find the chest. Tom climbs out of the hole and starts running to the house to tell his Dnd and Uncle. Before he got to the house,he,met the hired man,Jim, While Jim vas .just a boyihe had started working for Toms Grandfather and so surely he would be glad to hear that now Uncle Bill would have the money that he needed to fix up the farm. But to Tom's surprise, Jim grabs him by the arm and says "Don't say a word about this to any one if you know what is good for you". Tell ,now this makes matters different so again here is a chance to work out your story in several ways. (10) Threatened By A Supposed Friend---If you decided to use Tom as A Curious Boy you could get him into many tight places. Let us suppose though that Tom is scared by this threat and goes to bed early+so that he won't forget and say something about it. Not being able to sleep,he finally decides, about midnight, to go to his father's room and tell him all about it Lots of things could happen at midnight but suppose that Dad thought it bet- ter to wait until daylight and than get Uncle Bill and go to the hired man and find (At what it all means. However in the morning they find that the hired men a nd chest are both gone. Tom thought of a plan of broadcasting over the radio during the early morn- ing market reports when ovary one would be listening, for every one to be on the lookout for Jim in his tan car. After a few events that seem to slow them up, let them get to the radio station and have the news broadcasted. A store keeper calls the station while they are there and says that he saw two men park a tan car in front of his store and that it was still there. It had been parked since ten o'clock the night before. He also said that there were blood stains on the front seat. What would you say had happened? Jim had evidently been killed and the two men who had taken his car surely had the chest and they had all night to get away. Can there be any solution to this puzzle? Maybe later on a farmer calls Uncle Bill and tells him that Jim is at his farm severAly hurt and asking for him. They all hurry out to this farm and there Jim tells them that he had buried the chest in another part of the farm. He tells about his uncle threatening him just as he had threatened Tom. Jimb Uncle was the person that had stolen the chest during the funeral. Jim was afraid that if his Uncle heard that it had been found that he would think that Jim had told. Jim's uncle was afraid to get the cheat as long as Uncle Bill was alive. When Tom asked why the hole was thereiUncle Bill told him of a wolf that was killing the animals on the farm and that he had started a trap. Think of the story you could have of a boy staying all night in a trap like this. You. see how at each point or situation many different solutions can be found. 3. After you have:the material needed they should be arranged a ccording to the following formula; 1. Character 11. Location 111. Problem 1V. Obstacles ( As many as neded to lead up to the desired suspense) V. Crisis Vi. Ending I. Character; Tom, a Cub fI.:Location; Uncle Bill's Farm IllProblem; Getting contents of Grandfather's chest buried twenty five years ago. IV.Obstacle; Hired man and threat to Tom. .2nd Obstacle Hired man and chest missing 3rd Obstacle Finding car with blood stains V. Crisis; All hope of finding chest is gone so all three go home. VI.Ending; A phone call sends them to a farm where Jim is found alive and he tells them of the threat to him. Tells where the chest is buried. The two men who stole the car do not know of the chest. The two men are captured later. Blood stains in car from hand of one of the men who had out his band on a barbed wire fence.

They may sing this through two or three times as the cur- tain slowly closes. The curtain should be closed before the group entirely leaves the stage. MARK ING : As the group leaves the Council and goes, off the stage it is inclined to be- come noisy. Every care must be taken that there is no yelling and howling as fire play is completed. The Chieftains representing North, South, East and West should be older Den Chiefs or Pack Committeemen and each of these men should be responsible for their side of the square for costuming, facing, painting, discipline, etc. A medicine man might also be costumed with a headdress which has upon it a pair of horns. Den Mothers can also have a part by dressing as squaws and being seated either before the tepees or come in with the group. Quietly played Indian music as.abackground for the entire action is also effective and, especially if the music could be fitted in with the dance and the tom-tom beating it would be helpful. "THE COMING OF AKELP." Cast of Characters Render - Leader dressed as "Chief" or "Time" Kinebo - Singer of the Tribe Akela - Cubmaster or older leader Chieftains Den Chiefs or Assistant Cubmasters Braves - Cubs and Den Chiefs Dancers - Picked Cubs trained especially for dance Shaubena - Tom-Tom beater Setting: The stage should represent a forest scene using old Christmas trees, branches or small trees on standards. In the background, either in the. rear left or right, there should be•a chair, pile of boxes, etc., covered with canvas and green arti- ficial grass (from undertaker) to represent a mountain or hill. Back of this, suspended by a string against the wall, a moon made of plaster board or cardboard and gilted with silver. Behind the mountain a delicate spotlight should shine against the wall or be focused on the moon and during the singing of "Pale Moon" should be slowly raised. Stage lights which have been extremely dim, also, the light of the moon could, with a reostat, be brightened slowly. However, the full action of the scene should be a night shade. Use any colors desired to give this effect. In the rear of the stage, among the trees, opposite the mountain should be one or more tepees fit to the size of the stage, trees, etc. These could be made by drawing gayly colored blankets with sticks arranged in tepee frames. Seated before one of them could be one or more Cubs engaged in grinding corn, weaving, braiding, sewing, making picture writing, etc. These to represent a group of Indians around the tepee. One of these Cubs should be the singer and should re- main seated before the curtains are drawn. Indian music closing with the intro- duction of "Pale Moon" as the curtain slowly opens is effective. Committees sug4ested°to arrange for this presentation are: 1. PROPERTIES COMMITTEE to provide moon, mountains, trees, tepees, wooden dipper, etc. 2. COSTUME COMMITTEE - This committee could, with the entire group. a few weeks in advance have the mothers or the boys themselves arrange for burlap, can- vas, or other suitable material-for a project for each boy to make his own costume. Including a one or two feather or larger headdress. 3. DIRECTION COMMITTEE - This should be one or two people who will direct the aw, action, pick the cast, secure, the reader, and see to it that the affair is properly rehearsed and staged. A meeting of a group interested in this type of work would be most helpful. 9 Committees suggested, cont. 4. MAKE-UP COMMITTEE - This should consist of the four Chieftains who before the playlet starts, will see to it that the boys are properly face creamed and have whatever facial decorations and costume arrangements as the boys de- sire. 5. MUSIC COMMITTEE - This group is responsible for securing of the songs, singing of the solo, and the playing of whatever music is used tnvident to the staging of the action. Closing Remarks : The above ceremony can be made most effective, especially if a good reader clearly gives the action in such a way that the audience can follow and the actors remember that at all times they are Indians and that they do not act too fast or ahead of the reader. The singing of "Pale Moon" or "Indian Love Call" or some other Indian song as an opening to the action and the reading is most effective, especially if a Cub with a clear voice who knows the piece thoroughly can sing this song. After you present this playlet, please notify Scout Headquarters as to its ac- ceptance, size your audience was, and whether or not you would care to repeat this for some P.T.A,, service group, or a community gathering at a later date. ti TELLING THE STORY Important points in telling the story: 1. Be sure everyone is comfortable before you start story. (C of G 2. Wait until the Cubs are quiet before you begin. Speak clearly in a natural tone of voice. 0 Guard against any annoying mannerisms. 137 5• Use only those gesturec which come naturally as part of your own feeling of the story. 6. Move steadily and swiftly to the climax. 7. Know when to stop. 8. NEVER drag in a moral by the neck and tack it on the end of the story.

DO YOU THINK YOU KNEW WHAT A HOBBY IS? SO DID WE. GET INTO THE SUBJECT OF HOBBIES HOWEVER,--YOU WILL QUICKLY BECOME AWARE THAT YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH A PROBLEM OF DEFINITION--WITH A TERM THAT HAS AN UNEXPECTED AND WIDE RANGE OF INTERPRETATIONS FOR BOTH CUB AGE BOYS AND ADULTS. SEVERAL MEN CONSULTED REGARDED A HOBBY AS A ZEAL FOR COLLECTING AND ASSEMBLING CERTAIN OBJECTS; ABOUT AN EQUAL NUMBER SAID THAT A HOBBY WAS A SPECIAL KNEENESS IN SOME HANDICRAFT; WHILE OTHERS REGARDED HOBBIES TO BE SUCH ACTIVITIES AS FISHING, GOLF, AND AUTOMOBILING. ,ONE OF THE CUBMASTERS WHO INTERVIEWED CUBS ON THEIR HOBBIES WROTE "MAY I SAY THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG MY CUBS REGARDING THE WORD HOBBY. FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, POLO, HOCKEY, OR BASKETBALL ARE CONSIDERED BY OUR CUBS AS VERY GOOD SUBJECTS FOR A NEW BOY TO TALK ABOUT WHEN HE IS TRYING TO GET ACQUAINTED IN A NEW GROUP. THEY DO NOT LOOK UPON THESE AS HOBBIES. THEY SAY THAT A HOBBY IS SOMETHING WHICH YOU DO ON RAINY DAYS, OR WHEN YOU ARE ALONE". SO JUST WHAT IS A HOBBY? OBVIOUSLY IT IS AN UNDERTAKING OR ACTIVITY THAT HAS MORE THAN TEMPORARY OR PASSING INTEREST. WE, IN THIS STUDY, DEFINE A HOBBY AS A FAVORITE SUBJECT OF THOUGHT, TALK, AND ACTION ON A LONG TERM BASIS. IMMEDIATELY WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT SOME HOBBIES ARE RECURRING SEASONAL INTERESTS SUCH AS WINTER INDOOR HANDICRAFTS AND SUMMER OUTDOOR GARDEN PROJECTS. ACCORDINGLY, MANY MEN HAVE TWO OR THREE HOBBIES, SO IT IS WITH CUB AGE BOYS. PAGE 2 S T U D Y O F A C T U A L C U B H O B B I E S FACTS FROM ORIGINAL SOURCES Experts in research work admonish--"Make a survey", "Get the facts", "Go to original sources for information". Accordingly, in trying to learn just what are the Hobby interests of Cubs, we went to original sources--to the Cubs themselves. The following facts about Cub age Hobby interests were secured directly from Cub age boys. Over 300 Chicago Cubs--332 to be exact, were privately and individually interviewed on what their Hobbies were* No Cub knew what any other Cub had given as his Hobby.

No DURESS WAS USED---NO ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE ANY CUB'S ANSWER WAS MADE. ,HERE BOYHOOD STANDS REVEALED. 2. THE HOBBIES RAN TRUE TO FORM REGARDLESS OF THE LOCALITY. THE CUBS AND PACKS USED IN THE STUDY REPRESENT THE WELL KNOWN "CROSS SECTION" OF CHICAGO'S 5200 CUBS. As MIGHT BE EXPECTED THE CUBS FROM THE GOLD COAST PACK HAD THE MORE EXPENSIVE HOBBIES. THE CUBS FROM THE LESS CHANCE AREA WERE THE ONES WHO WANTED MOST TO HIKE AND CAMP. 3. HANDICRAFT, SO IMPORTANT IN THE THINKING OF MANY CUBMASTERS AS A PROGRAM ITEM, IS APPARENTLY NOT A HEAVY FAVORITE AS A PRIVATE HOBBY. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO DISCOURAGEMENT AT HOME BECAUSE OF LIMITATION OF SUITABLE SPACE FOR HANDI- CRAFT WORK. ALSO THE COST OF TOOLS AFFECT THE SITUATION. WHEN OPPORTUNITY IS PROVIDED BY THE DEN OR P.ACK TO "MAKE THINGS", ENTHUSIASM FOR HANDICRAFT IS USUALLY EVIDENT. 4. IN THE LIST OF COLLECTIONS GIVEN AS HOBBIES, STAMP COLLECTING.WHICH IS LUCKILY PERHAPS THE MOST EDUCATIONAL, RAN A STRONG FAVORITE--MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER COLLECTION HOBBIES COMBINED. 5. CUBS ARE APPARENTLY MUCH MORE SPORT AND GAME MINDED THAN HIKING OR CAMPING ENTHUSIASTS. 6. THERE WAS REVEALED A SURPRISING LACK OF INTEREST IN READING. 7. HOBBY INTERESTS CAN CHANGE, SOMEWHAT AS FASHIONS DO. MAKING CRYSTAL RADIO SETS, FOR WHICH THERE' WAS SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO, WAS NOT MENTIONED ONCE. 80 As AN EXPERIM,ENT, ONE GROUP OF 10 BOYS INTERVIEWED WERE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS ---WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO BEST? AND WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY? THE ANSWER OF EACH BOY WAS AS FOLLOWS:- NUMBER WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO BEST? WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY? BUILD MODEL AIRPLANES MODEL AIRPLANES 2 BASEBALL BASEBALL AND COLLECTING 3 TENNIS STAMPS 4 CAMPING COLLECTING GUNS 5 DRAWING AIRPLANES STAMPS AND AIRPLANE SCRAPBOOKS GARDENING GARDENING 7 PLAY WITH GUNS COLLECT MINIATURE SOLDIER FIGURES AND MATCH FOLDERS 8 COLLECT STAMPS AND POSTCARDS SAME 9 BASEBALL BASEBALL 10 GO TO MOVIES STAMPS 9. CUBMASTERS AND DEN MOTHERS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT LEADERS DO NOT NEED TO INSTRUCT CUBS HOW TO ASSEMBLE THEIR COLLECTIONS. CUBS LIKE THE FUN'OF USING THEIR OWN INGENUITY IN THIS. ONE COIN COLLECTOR HAD.HIS OLD COINS POLISHED AND WRAPPED SEPARATELY IN CELLOPHANE PACKETS TO PREVENT "RUBBING". THE CONCLUSION IS OBVIOUS THAT HOBBIES CAN BE MADE A MOST VALUABLE .TOOL FOR A CUBLEADER TO USE IN BUILDING A PACK AND DEN PROGRAM. PAGE 7 G I V I N G L E A D E R S H I P T O H O B B I E S MAKE A HOBBY STUDY OF YOUR PACK THE STARTING PLACE FOR A PROGRAM OF HOBBY ACTIVITY IN A PACK IS A SURVEY OF THE HOBBY INTERESTS OF THE CUBS. THE CHICAGO COUNCIL STUDY WAS SO REVEALING, IT IS STRONGLY URGED THAT EACH CUBMASTER MAKE A SIMILAR STUDY OF HIS OWN PACK. OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECT HOBBIES THE IMPORTANT FACT FOR ALL CUBLEADERS IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE DOES EXIST A HOBBY INTEREST IN EVERY CUB IN THE PACK, AND TO UTILIZE HOBBIES AS A CUB PROGRAM ITEM. A HOBBY MAY HAVE STRIKING SIGNIFICANCE---IT EXHIBITS A BOYS INDIVIDUALITY, IT PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-EXPRESSION WHICH OTHERWISE' IS OFTEN DENIED HIM---IT MAY HAVE VOCATIONAL IMPORT. FROM THE STUDY MADE BY THE CHICAGO COUNCIL IT 18 EVIDENT THAT MANY OF THE HOBBIES LISTED WOULD NOT CLASSIFY AS "WORTH-WHILE" FROM AN ADULT POINT OF VIEW. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CAUSE FOR GREAT WORRY. CUBS ARE GROWING MENTALLY AS WELL AS PHYSICALLY. NEXT YEAR MAY BRING AN ENTIRELY NEW HOBBY INTEREST. SOMETIMES CUBS CAN BE DIRECTED TO AN INTEREST IN HOBBIES THAT WILL HAVE VALUE FOR THEM. A CUBS HOBBY IS A HIGHLY PERSONALIZED THING WHICH HE GENERALLY LIKES TO SHARE WITH OTHERS OF HIS BOY' WORLD. SOMETIMES HOWEVER, IT IS A SECRET AFFAIR WITH HIM, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE INSTANCES--AND SOME .WERE UNCOVERED IN THE SURVEY, WHERE THE CUB'S FAMILY MAKE FUN OF HIS HOBBY. ADULTS MUST NOT GO CRASHING INTO THE REALM OF BOYHOOD HOBBIES^ SUBLETY AS WELL AS STRATEGY SHOULD BE EXERCISED IF THE POSSIBLE VALUE OF HIBBIES IS TO BE CAPITALIZED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BOY. WHEN AN ATTEMPT IS TO BE MADE TO DIRECT A BOY INTO WORTHWHILE HOBBY INTERESTS, TO CREATE THE INTEREST---AT FIRST ARTIFICIAL PERHAPS, BUT LATER REAL---CAPABLE LEADERSHIP IN THE FULL SENSE OF THE WORD IS NECESSARY TO CROSS THAT DELICATE SPOT KNOWN "YOU OUGHT TO DO THIS". HOBBIES IN THE CUB ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM THE CUB ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITY FOR A CUBLEADER TO USE, AND I F NECESSARY T O STIMULATE, THE GENERALLY PREVALENT BOY INTEREST IN HOBBIES. ALSO IT AFFORDS A MEANS OF A NATURAL ADULT GUIDANCE IN THE MATTER OF HOBBIES. FOR INSTANCE, THE COLLECTION - GAMES REQUIREMENT (WOLF REQUIREMENTS #6) "MAKE AN APPROVED COLLECTION FROM LIST OR ITS EQUIVALENT---STAMPS, STONES, LEAVES, ETC." COLLECTIONS Is ELECTIVE #25 IN BOTH THE BEAR AND LION RANKS. THE SCRAP BOOK REQUIREMENTS IN THE WOLF AND BEAR RANKS COULD AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE RELATED TO A HOBBY INTEREST. THE ENTIRE ELECTIVE PART OF THE CUD ACHIEVEMENT PLAN OBVIOUSLY IS DESIGNED TO UTILIZE HOBBIES AND POINT THE WAY TO INTEREST POSSIBILITIES. IN EXPLAINING THE ELECTIVE PLAN TO BOTH BOYS AND PARENTS, IT IS NOT A BAD IDEA TO REFER TO THESE SUBJECTS AS HOBBY ELECTIVES* THE WISE CUBLEADER WILL ENDEAVOR TO KEEP MANY OF THESE SUBJECTS ON A BASIS OF ENDURING HOBBIES RATHER THAN ON THE BASIS OF "DOING 10 FOR A GOLD ARROW AWARD". GIVING LEADERSHIP TO HOBBIES (CONTINUED) PAGE 8 CUB HOBBY CLUBS SEVERAL PACKS HAVE ORGANIZED HODDY CLUBS, ESPECIALLY STAMP CLUBS. DUDS ARE GREAT JOINERS, SO CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED THAT A BOY HAS A REAL OR AN APPARENTLY POTENTIAL INTEREST IN THE HUBBY BEFORE HE IS ASKED TO JOIN.THE CLUB. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LIKELIHOOD INHERENT IN THE CLUB IDEA THAT SOME ADULT MAY DE TRYING TO INSTILL HIS OR HER ENTHUSIASM FOR A HOBBY IN OTHERS. THERE IS NO HARM LIKELY, EXCEPT THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERSTIMUL.ATION, WHICH IS ALWAYS PRESENT IN DEALING WITH CUBS. C U B H O B B Y A N D H A N D I C R A F T S H O W S WHY A HOBBY AND HANDICRAFT SHOW (SUBMITTED BY MAT ADAM, NORTH SHORE DISTRICT CUD COMMITTEE -CHICAGO COUNCIL) WITH NEARLY 10 YEARS OF CUDDING BEHIND US, WE NOW SIT BACK AND PONDER ON NEW AND PROBABLY MORE COMPLICATED FIELDS OF HANDICRAFT TO CONQUER--+-YET WHEN CUDDING STARTED IT WAS LITTLE THOUGHT THAT BOYS 9, 10, AND 11 YEARS OLD COULD 00 VERY MUCH IN THE WAY OF USEFUL CRAFT WORK. CUDLEADERS, CONSTANTLY IN SEARCH OF NEW PROJECTS TO PROVIDE INTERESTING AND SATISFYING ACTIVITIES FOR THE PACK, SOON DISCOVERED AND RECOGNIZED THAT EACH YOUNGSTER HAD CERTAIN DEFINITE INCLINA- TIONS WHICH MADE HIM MORE OR LESS PROFICIENT ALONG CERTAIN LINES. THUS BASKETRY, WOODWORKING LEATHERCRAFT,AND OTHER FORMS OF HANDI- CRAFT, SELECTED BY THE CUDLEADER, GAVE HIM A MANIFESTATION OF HOW MUCH SKILL WAS DISPLAYED BY HIS PARTICULAR GROUP. BY CAREFULLY OBSERVING THE TYPE OF HANDICRAFT PREFERRED BY INDIVIDUALS, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PLAN SPECIALIZED ACTIVITIES AND THEREBY PROVIDE A PROGRAM PARTICULARLY ADAPTED TO THE CERTAIN GROUP IN QUESTION. NATURALLY, NO ONE CAN ENJOY THE FRUIT OF HIS LABOR IF AFTER IT IS COMPLETED, IT IS LOCKED AWAY FROM SIGHT. THE NATURAL TENDENCY FOR NORMAL HEALTHY HUMANS IS TO SHARE THE JOY OF THEIR CREATIONS DY AN EXHIBITION WHERE THEY CAN PROUDLY DISPLAY AND EXPLAIN THE PARTICULAR DIFFICULTY OR ODSTACLE THEY HAD TO OVERCOME IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AND COMPLETE THEIR MASTERPIECE. HERE THEN WE HAVE THE REASON FOR HOLDING A "HOBBY SHOW" MAT ADAM A DEN HOBBY SHOW A WISE DEN MOTHER OR DEN CHIEF WILL OCCASIONALLY INCLUDE IN THE DEN MEETING PROGRAM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A CUD TO SHOW AND TO DISCUSS HIS HODDY. THIS CAN DE DONE ON A ONE MAN SHOW PLAN OR A MORE OR LESS INFORMAL DEN,HODDY SHOW TO WHICH THE PARENTS OF THE CUDS OF THE DEN MAY DE INVITED. PACK CUB AND DAD HOBBY SHOW WE ARE CONCERNED PRIMARILY WITH CUB HOBBIES, OUT MENTION SHOULD DE MADE OF THE OUCCESS THAT SOME PACKS HAVE HAD IN INVITING DADS TO EXHIDIT OR TALK ABOUT THEIR HOBBIES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN TWO WAYS. CUB HOBBY AND HANDICRAFT SHOWS PAGE 9 PACK CUB AND DAD HOBBY SHOW (CONTINUED) THE FIRST IS TO INVITE DADS TO PARTICIPATE IN A PACK HOOEY SHOW DY EXHIDITING THEIR HODDIES IN A DADS'DIVISION. ONE PACK, IN FACT, HAD AN EXCLUSIVELY DADS'HODDY SHOW. ANOTHER WAY TO USE DADS'HODDY INTERESTS IS TO HAVE A DAD APPEAR INDIVIDUALLY ON A DEN, OR MONTHLY PACK MEETING PROGRAM TO SPEAK AbOUT AND SHOW HIS HODDY. IT IS NECESSARY, OF COURSE, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HODDY THAT IS TO DE PRESENTED HAS AN APPEAL FOR CUD AGE bOYS. IT USUALLY WILL---RUT THERE ARE RARE OCCASIONS WHEN SOME ADULT'S HODDY IS REGARDED SO ENTHUSIASTICALLY BY HIMSELF, THAT HE MAY NOT REALIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF LITTLE DON'S NOT DIEING INTERESTED. PACK PET AND HOBBY SHOW (FRED A. SPILLER, BUFFALO, N. Y. CUDLEADERS' ROUNDTABLE - Nov. 1933) PET AND HOOEY SHOWS CAN DE DEVELOPED INTO A VERY VALUABLE FEATURE IN CURBING BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE ARE NATURAL BOY INTERESTS AND ARE VITAL PARTS OF THE CUB PROGRAM. IN PACK 12, BUFFALO, WE HAVE HAD TWO SUCH EVENTS. IN JUNE 1932 ,WE CLOSED OUR FIRST SEASON WITH A DOG AND HANDICRAFT SHOW. WE INVITED A LOCAL DOG FANCIER AND EXPERT AS JUDGE OF THE DOGS. WE ENTERTAINED MOST OF THE PARENTS AND A LARGE PART OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. THE DOG SHOW WAS HELD OUTDOORS AND THE HANDIWORK WAS SET UP BY DENS INSIDE THE BUILDING AND OPEN FOR INSPECTION. THIS SHOW CREATED SO MUCH INTEREST THAT IT WAS REPEATED LAST SPRING, CLOSING OUR SECOND SEASON. THIS TIME IT WAS ENLARGED TO' A COMPLETE PET SHOW. IT INCLUDED AS WELL AS DOGS, ALSO CATS, PIGEONS, GUINEA PIGS, AN-ALLIGATOR AND A TURTLE. THE PRIZES WERE SIMPLE AND HUMOROUS. WE USED THE REGULAR DOG SHOW RIBBON IDEA BUT FOR THE DOGS THESE RIBBONS WERE TIED TO BONES WHICH HAD BEEN GILDED WITH GOLD PAINT. FOR THE CATS THEY WERE TIED TO CATNIP MICE, AND OTHER PRIZES INCLUDED CUPS MADE FROM COPPER MUGS WITH HAND LETTER- ING. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE ENTIRE SHOW WAS HUMOROUS AND INFORMAL. THE PRIZES FOR THE HODDY SHOW WERE GIVEN FOR DEN EXHIBITS RATHER THAN FOR INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. THE PRIZE WAS A CROQUET GAME FOR THE DEN TO DE USED DY THEM AT THEIR DEN GATHERINGS. WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE DERIVED SOME VERY DEFINITE BENEFITS FROM THESE SHOWS. THE BOYS WERE PROUD OF THEIR PETS. IT WAS INTEREST- ING TO SEE THE NEAT AND CLEAN APPEARANCE OF THE PETS INDICATING CLEARLY RECENT SCRUBBING AND CLIPPING. THIS HELPED TO EROOURAGE THE BOYS INTEREST IN AND CARE OF HIS PET. MANY CROWDED HOURS WERE SPENT PREPARING THE HANDWORK FOR THE EXHIBIT -.INCIDENTALLY MEETING ACHIEVEMENTS AND LEARNING SKILLS. THE PARENTS REACTED TO THE ENJOYMENT OF THEIR BOYS AND PARENT INTEREST WAS QUICKENED AND STRENGHTENED. GIVING A PRIZE USEFUL ONLY TO THE DEN AS A WHOLE, INCREASED DEN UNITY BECAUSE THE DEN NOW HAS COMMON POSSESSIONS AND PROPERTY WHICH IT HOLDS AS A UNIT. ALSO WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INTEREST AND GROWTH OF CURBING AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS SCENTED THE HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE OF THE BOY AND H1S PET, AND GAVE US WONDER- FUL FRONT PAGE STORIES AND PICTURES THAT HAVE DROUGHT US REQUESTS FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CURBING AND NEW MEMBERS. THIS HAS BEEN SO VALUABLE TO OUR PACK THAT IT BIDS FAIR TO BECOME AN ANNUAL FEATURE AND A TRADITION IN PACK 12 TO HAVE AN ANNUAL PET AND HOBBY SHOW EACH SPRING* 0 0 U N C I L- 0 R D I S T R 1 C T H 0 B B Y S H 0 W PAGE IO NORTH SHORE DISTRICT (CHICAGO CouNCIL) HOBBY AND HANDICRAFT SHOW 'MATERIAL FURNISHED BY CLEM J.

SCENH 1 One of the Dens of the Cub Paok. ACTION: Cubs seated in "orchestra pit" or on one aide of stage. Den Chief is helping Joe on his knot board. Bob is leaning back in a chair whistling. Wally is whitling a stick. Other Cubs engaged in oraft projects. JOE: (Turning to Bob) Listen to that guy whistle. He's got Elmo Turner banked off the map. I'd say held better put it in a can and seal it up, BOB: You folios are just jealous, that's all. Say, don't you want to take my whistle home with you? JOE: I should say not. With my kid sister and the flivver, Boy* that's noise enough for anyone. BOB: A little musio might brighten up your home. WALLY: So would your old man and Bon Ami. BOB' Say, as long as you fellas are talking about my noise - did you ever hear Bill praot ioin' on his violin? Boy: if that ain't somethin' . BILL: Where do you get that stuff? I suppose you've been anoopin' around the house when the radio has been pint. BOB: Oh yeah, Balony on that radio noise. You can't kid me. BILL' Yeah, I know you won't take any kiddint. But you'll take a nice bounce on the dome, if you don't quit, BOB! Try start somethin'. (Bill and Bob square off in fighting attitude when Den Chief interrupts with)- DEN CHIEF: Say, you fbllaws, whati a the big idea? BEN, Well, I guess the big idea is for all of us topack up and beat it for home. TOM, Oh, shucks, we don't have to go yet, do we? (Turning to Den Chief) What about the rest of that Indian story? Aren't you goin' to tell it to us? We don't have to go borne, do we gang? 2 • CHORUS' Not Not Not DEN CHIEF' Well, let me see, it's now a little after five. Guess we'll have time at that. I remember, we left off the last time after the battle between the tribes, didn't we? We talked about starvation and suffering - those were the things warpath brought. Women and children and the older men suffered most. War among the tribes has been going on so long, that hate in the eyes and hearts'of the people was like a great prairie fire that burned and, destroyed. The Webelos are strong. They had suffered their share, 'tin true, but they were most powerful. They had plenty of men to go on hunting parties; buffalo were to be found in great numbers, no much food found its way into the Webelo oamp. Those who remained at home guarded the village and went on raiding parties, always returning with many enemy soalps and ponies. The Webelos were secure. But Akela ',earths bad results of war, because all wars are bad. They do no good. Akela saw that fighting led nowhere; that Peace was what everyone wanted. So he called his brave', into Counoil -listen SCENE II ACTIONS Chief Akela and his braves are seated around a ceremonial fire on ,to as outtain rises. (Musioal background) Akela rises slowly. =UM s Braves, many winters and summers our streams have run red with blood the color of autumn loaves. Like many shadows, the dead are to be found on hill and valley. We Webelos are strung like buffalo bull.. The Great Father has smiled on us, his children, Our medicine has been good. But not so with many tribes. The reasons we kNow not. They have lost many braves, and the hungry wolf stalks around their tepee doors at night It is time we think. Does not our Great Father want peace= Is it not true the vision of the Ancient One? Did not Gitohie l nitou, the Mighty, ask us to lay aside our weapons and our war-gear, and as brothers live hence forward? We all want peace. Peace to hunt, to travel toward the setting sun. Peace to make our homes warm and oomfortable. Peace to make new robes, new tepees. Peaoe for our women and children. The BRAVES grunt approval with "Row" nit teHow" - many "Howse AMA.: War is no good. War settles nothing. It only kills and kills and kills. War makes for hate. Council Fire males for peace.. It makes for pea's-. 3 We are strong. We are not cowards,. but let us ask the weak ones to live at peace with us and each other. Let us speak first. Let us ask for the Big Peace. Not so much for ourselves, for we are strong, but for all the tribes. Let the Keeper of the Medioine Bundle carry it to the tribes. Let us start the BIG PLACE. Let it be known we want peace. .We show them the may. (There is a moment of quiet as the Chief site down, broken by the faint notes of the tombom. There is some talk among the braves. One speaks) 1st BRAVE: Do you want peace with our snemy who ambushed our braves, who stole our ponies? 2nd BRAVE: But war brings us nothing in the end. War only kills. 3rd BRAVE: A kola spoke well when ho said we are strong, Let us kill our enemies, than we can live' in peace, 4th BRAVE: Beoause we are strong, we must be peaoe-makers. They will listen to us. Lette live as brothers. Akela speaks with wisdom, (AKELA arises!) AKELA: It is well you have spoklen. It must be peace. When Sun comes up, the Seared Bundle goes on its journey. You will go to the tribes and tell them the Bundle is on its may. They will know we are for peace. (Akela faces the four diredbions as curtain closer - Music) (Curtain) ANNOUNCER: Three months have lapsed since this episode. SCENE 'tSrf ACTION: Setting same as Scene II. Three months later. Akela and Braves are seated around Council Ring. Akela slowly rises and gives Prayer to the Four Winds. Incense is burning. During prayer, - Music is heard (Sunrise Call). Tom-tom - " Indian Dance" - Omaha Grass AKELA: We dance because today marks the return of the Sacred Medicine Bundle, It carves by may of the rising sun. (Enters the Keeper of the Sacred Bundle. Walks to front stage, turns and kneeling, planes it on buffalo skull. Then keeper takes his place in Council) (The Pipe is handed to Akela; all in turn smoke as music forms background (Pipe returns to Akela. He rises, walls to center stage whore fire is laid; turns pipe in 4 directions; holds hand over fire; it lights and as it burns, the Braves form semi-oircle in back of Chief who speaks). AKELA: The Saored Bundle ham fulfilled its mission. There is peace bet-menthe Webelos and the Nations. All of our war olube turd weapons have been buried.. We shall live as brothers hsnoefer'ward. It is the wish of the Great Spirt, We oan now say to all those r;ho we'e once the enemy, "All our doors stand open to you. You shall el-tee al] . our a-1g;vame . For the hearts' right hand wg give you. Peace be with you. Peace be withyou and your people". (CURTAIN) SCENE (Sore of the Cubs are gazing at the Den Chief; some are looking up at the sky; all are quiet, attentive, silent - broken by - BEN: Gee, that was great. JOE: 1111 say it uses. DEN CHIEF: Come on fellows, it's close to supper time. Let's be going. But, before we do, let's all rise and join in spirit with Akela and his Braves as he wishes us God speed and a safe journey to our Tepees.

AKELA: "Baloo, why does the Pack howl?" BALOO: "I know not Akela, but I shall ask Bagheera, the Panther who guards our path." BALOO: "Bagheera, why is the Pack uneasy?" BAGHEERA: "They are uneasy loo, because there are strangers in our midst." BALOO:. "Then bring these strangers to the rock, so that Akela may look them over."

Akela then addresses the candidates - "You have taken a big job upon yourselves, my friends, when you set out to be members of our Pack. The Cubs who meet here on the rock will expect you to help them. Your Den will need you and the Pack will need your Den. Because this is such a big task, we would have you listen."

As the vine that grows on the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back, For the strength of the Pack is the Cub, and the strength of the Cub is the Pack. Now listen you well, till you hear the Law -- be sure of it before the promise you take: Then, always be square and do your best, for remember your honor's at stake. (Immediately following this, the Law of the Cub Pack is recited by four Den Chiefs. They are stationed, one in each corner of the room, and each Den Chief recites one line of the Law in its proper order) AKELA: "You have just heard the Law of the Cub Pack. It came to you from the four winds, to tell you that there are Cubs in the four corners of the earth and no matter where you travel, you will find friends. You will also notice in the background here, a lighted emblem. This is in the form of a square and is to re- mind you that "A CUB IS SQUARE." In this square you will see the "Arrow of World Friendship", while the "Rising Sun" stands for Health and Happiness, and the "Seven Rays" are to remind you to give "GOOD-WILL" seven days each week. Now that you have seen and heard about Cubbing, we shall give you an opportunity to take the Cub Promise and become a member of Pack Three. Candidates make the Cub sign and repeat after me, inserting your own name, the Cub Promise. (After the Promise Akela congratulates the Cubs and gives them their registration cards. While they are taking their place in the circle, the Pack gives the Pack Howl. Immediately following the howl every one sings the Pack Song.) LEC 3/1/35.

Rowley Field Executive CUBS ARE SQUARE - HAPPY - GAME AND FAIR t•: 2 ~:{ aja :Y7 THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM That is included in the "Outdoor Program of O bbing?" There is no end of what can be included in this important phase of Cubbing. It is limited only by the lack of enough hours in the day, days in a week, and the human limitations of the leaders and parents. Who is responsible for the "Outdoor Pro ram; in Cqbbing4 ", The Lead- ers (Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Pack Committee, Den Dads, Den Mothers, Den Chiefs) are dir__~___el_y; responsible for certain limited activities. They are indirectly responsible for a great wide range of other outdoor activities. This responsibility is in the form of stimulating interest and enthusiasm on the part of the parents and then to help plan the activities and to train the parents so they can give the necessary leadership, 'Types of Outdoor Activities: 1. Cub end. pad: a. Attending football or'other games b. Dad and son hike (These may be of many types) c. Making kite d. Making things for the. home or yard e.

Of course,,the monthly Cub Parent.Meetings will afford the opportunity for stimu l.ating the parents and training them to carry out those activities which are for them. No registered Cu.b should be denied the priv- ilege of Oubbing during the summer vacation months even though he is hundreds of miles away from his own Pack and Den. Where to find more help and suggestions "HOW BOOK OF CURBING" The "How Book of Cubbing" is chucked full of suggestions and workable plans for outdoor activities. It has a chapter of 44 pages devoted to the "OUTDOOR PROGRAM IN CURBING". It may be secured from your Council headquarters or from the Nation- al Supply Department of the Boy Scouts of America. "GAMES AND GAME LEADERSHIP" By Charles Smith. This book and "GAMES AND RECREATIONAL METHODS" by the same author, has many sug- gestions for games and activities that will assist any leader in planning an outing. " t t MASTER'S PACK BOOK" "DEN MOTHER'S DENBOOK:' These two very fine leadership books should be in the hands of Cubmasters, Den Mothers and Den Dads to help with the planning and executing of the Outdoor Program of Cubbing. "CUB LEADER'S ROUNDTABLE" The current issues of this magazine which is sent. to all registered Cubbers has many suggestions for Outdoor activities. Save your copies and file them for future use.

Barrows Scout Executive Fruit Belt Council Kalamazoo, Michigan BUILDING A BACK YARD DEN 'DEN' Many fine tents can be made from discarded awnings, +frith Mother's and Dad's help they can be made into an attractive back- yard Den. Most any conceivable type of material can be used to make huts. Old discarded lumber, oil cans (cut open and made into sheets of tin), Old burlap sacks, painted with brown paint, after they have been sewed together, look like leather skins and can make nice looking Indian Teepees, appropriate Indian designs can be painted on them. Cardboard cartons, packing oases, even the cases that radios are shipped in can be used to advantage in building a Back Yard Den 'Den'. There is one easy and comfortable tent to make and that is the Carpet Tent. The only material needed are some poles and a discarded rug or carpet. The front upright poles are longer than the rear, the cross poles are lashed to the uprights and then four poles are laid lengthwise and lashed to horizontal or cross poles, the carpet is then laid on the frame work and can be tied to the poles so the carpet won't fall or blow off. There is also the Conical or Round Hut that may be erected. This kind of hut is somewhat difficult to finish as the roof has a tendency to led This hut can be made with poles or yob sap- lings bound or la(ed together. The method of starting is to lay out your circle on the ground, then taking some heavy pieces of sapling, plant same in ground in various places. ?

Princi•les for selection of bbin: Activities 1. Each project should have a definite objective in complete harmony with Cubbing aims and programs. 2. Each project should contribute toward the development and maintenance of the proper home relationship. 3. Each project should be very simple; within the limitations of the capacities and interests of both Cubs and parents. 4. Cubbers should stimulate the homes to provide the necessary leadership to begin and successfully complete each Cub project. 5. Projects should be so planned as not to involve more than one Pack, and probably used as a part of a regular Pack meeting. 6. It is recognized that Councils may need to promote some Cub projects of a Council or Area-wide nature for publicity or promotional reasons. These should, however, be kept at an absolute minimum. 7. Each project should have the participation of one or both parents and should be planned with the parents before presentation to the Den or Pack. 8. The Cubmaster should be responsible for the project when it involves the participation of the entire Pack. 9. Adequate First Aid and safety measures should be taken for all Cub meetings and activities. 10. It is to be understood that no one Cub, Den or Pack will desire or be able to use all of these projects. Each Cubbing unit should select from the accompanying suggestions only those projects which seem to meet its own needs. 11. Cubbers should not, so far as possible, select projects for Dens and Packs which will trespass on those activities which properly belong to Scouting or the Senior Program. II. SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES A.

The story below concerns the development of that irst PowWow, with its successors. - bigger and better, The same story with modificationf might be written of the other Districts in the Council at the present time, with the exception that the idea originated in LaGrange. Full credit should be given those early Cubmasters of LaGrange who conceived the idea and put it to work, The annual LaGrange Cub PowWow was the outgrowth of a desire on the part of the five Cubmasters of LaGrange to get the boys and their parents out in the open for an afternoon of games, a family picnic supper, and a Council Fire and presentation of awards. The council circle and fire were planned to bring to the boys some form of Indian ceremony and the story of Akela, June, 1933 was the date of the first Cub PowWow, held in a forest preserve near LaGrange, Cubs and their dads assembled about 3:30 on Saturday afternoon for games of all kinds, ending with a tug of war; 5:30 PM was a family picnic-supper with the mothers and the rest of the family assembling; 7:00 PM, the council fire was lighted, the council circle formed, the story of Akela told, and the Wolf, Bear, and Lion awards presented. The Cub benediction was given promptly at 8:30 PM. Transportation was provided for every Cub, both going and return. The attendance was about 125 Cubs, with the same number of adults. June, 1934, the emphasis was on interesting more parents in attending, The first effort was on an attractive letter to be signed by each Cubmaster, One of the dads was a commercial artist, and he originated the idea which is still in use, presenting a letter brilliantly illustrated with the word "Powwow" in +rowdy lettering' at the top. The same program was used, with two full-blooded Winnebago Indians in full regalia for the evening council circle. These Indians gave interpretations of the Wolf, Bear and Lion dances and presented awards of those ranks. This was a big thrill for the Cubs. The adult attendance was doubled, with 100% of the Cubs there. June, 1935, the same program was used at a new location, historical from an Indian standpoint, being the last campsite in Illinois of the Pottawatomie Indians. This was on private property, and had the advantage of excluding Saturday picnickers+ annoyance and interference. There were the same two Winnebago Indians, but they had learned more of the Cub program and improved their ceremonial dances, There were about 500 parents attending. June,-1936, the PowWow was held on the same site as in 1935, with a small increase in attendance. June, 1937, it was held in a new location, with larger grounds and with better planning for the afternoon games. An adult leader was responsible for each game; volleyball, horseshoes, baseball, ending at 5:00 o'clock with a tug of war between the Cubs and their dads. The family picnic suppers were becoming very popular, At the council circle and fire, a new innovation appeared: each Cub wore a simple leather headband which he had made, with white turkey feathers on the right side --- one for Wolf rank, two far Bear, and three for Lion rank. Each Pack had the upper three inches of the feathers dyed different colors, to designate Packs. (There were four Packs involved). The boys were seated in the council circle according to rank. The ceremonials were conducted by a new group of Senior Scouts specializing in Indian lore, with Indian regalia made by themselves. The council fire ended with graduating all Cubs who were 12 years of age, with the Scoutmasters of all local Troops present to receive these boys. The attendance had increased to about 600 this year. Juno 1938, employed about the same program as above. One Troop from LaGrange was present with a First Aid tent and equipment, This was highly desirable, and necessary with the large attendance involved. The LaGrange police department provided one officer to park cars, which was also desirable and necessary. One new feature marked this Pow Wow -- the Cubs' faces were painted with grease paint, a streak of grease paint on each cheek, using a different color for each rank. In this way, the Indians could.bring them into the council fire without confusion, to receive their new rank. The same group of Senior Scout Indian lore students functioned splendidly as Indians. The attendance was about 700 this year, constantly growing from year to year. June, 1939, this year. The same type of program is planned, The date is June 3d, today, We wish that you ptght be with us. That explains why more of us are not here at Lake Wawasee with you. -c-c-c-c-c-~c-c-c-c-c-c- Essential features in planning and promoting a PowWow might include: An attractive letter to parents, signed by the Cubmaster, This is the best means of publicity, and should of course be followed up with telephone calls. Transportation must be provided for each Cub, both going and returning. No hiking. The PowWow is held close to town in each District, no Council get-together of Cubs being held. (In our own case, the Council includes more than twenty suburban towns outside of Chicago), More Cub PowWow Information From The West Suburban Council, LaGrange, Illinois. a . {Note: Each year, the Riverside District of the West Suburban Council holds its Cub Powwow, the first being held in 1934. Following is from the Riverside New. With warwhoops and the beating of tom-toms, the Riverside Cubs will celebrate their fifth annual PowWow Saturday, June 3rd, at the Scout Cabin. The climax of the afternoon and evening program will be the Indian ceremonials presented by Chief Thunder Cloud and other members of the Ottawa tribe. Chief Thunder Cloud is the grandson of Chief Pontiac, whose Ottawa tribe held similar councils on the banks of the DesPlaines River many years ago. Chief Thunder Cloud is an authority on Indian ceremonials, since he has studied and Interpreted the dances of practically all of the 311 tribes in the United States. The Cub program will start at 3 o'clock, when the braves of the Riverside We-Be-Lo tribe will assemble in the park across from the library. The parade from the park to the Scout Cabin will be led by the Riverside Scout and Cub drum and bugle corps. All of the braves must provide themselves with head- bands. Those having tom-toms are requested to bring them. After the Cubs reach the Scout cabin, each Pack will establish its headquarters. From 3$30 to 5 o'clock, the Cubs are pre- sert ing a "Six Pack Circus". Considerable mystery surrounds these events. The individual Packs will not divulge their acts. Rehearsals for the "Big Tent" have been held in secret. However, from eavesdropping we learned that clowns, jugglers,. wild animal trainers, human pyramids, comedians and a very important part of every circus, "the Wild West Show", will be on hand. The circus will be followed by a picnic supper by families and den groups. Ice cream, milk and chocolate milk • will be on sale on the premises by the Mothers' Auxiliary. Parents of all Cubs are urged to be present, but those parents whose sons are to receive awards are reminded that the awards will not be made unless parents are present. Do not disappoint your son. The call to the Council Circle will be sounded shortly before seven o'clock, when the Indian ceremonials will be presented. . S - - - (Note: To effectively organize for this event, the following assignments were made to individuals): First aid tent. Booths and booth signs. Patrolling of river and grounds; parking of ears. Public address system. Parade, Akela sign. Registration. Motion picture films and photography (for local history). Games. pack signs, and location of Packs at Scout cabin. Badges and list of awards. Indian reception. Clean-up grounds. The afternoon program must be care 'idly planned and supervised by well.oqualified adult leaders; every leader must have a job, must know his job and must stay with it and have plenty of help. The family picnic-supper is a big hit, and now the entire family comes. This is a bigg thing to the Cub. Provide grates, etc., where hamburghers and hot-dogs may be cooked by the families if they wish. First aid equipment should be present, with a real first aider. Toilets are very necessary in the set-up. The evening program should be finished by 8:30 PM. Each Cubmaster must stay on the PowWow grounds until he absolutely knows that all of the boys have been provided with transportation home. -c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c- As before stated, this PowWow idea has now spread throughout our Council. This year, nine Districts with 34 Packs, will hold similar PowWows. lb it worthwhile? Well, ask the Cubs themselves. Then ask those mothers and dads who have found therein a little closer touch with their sons, and who have in many cases been drawn into Cubbing as actual leaders through this contact. Yes, it is worthwhile. r1 e-ti s~S T B ET S R 2222222 2. 1111 L BOY SCOUT Feathers: Select dark turkey tails per lb. 1.00 ( 4 Select and 2-3 ordinary out of lb.) (1ahlert & Guntzler - 19 N.

Rather it is a small accumulation of suggest- ions and helps on the subject that we have found useful. The official literature of Scouting and Cubbing includes many indian projects and we have attempted to include them in the cross ref- erence that is attach- ed to these sheets. CREVE COE= UR COUNCIL ' k h BOY SCOUTS OF AMEfCA Crave Coeur Council Boy Scouts of America INDIAN GARDENS Indian gardens are fun. Get a big backyard for each Den and try raising the crops of the Ojibwa: pumpkins, kidney beans, squash, gourds, Indian corn, sunflowers, tobacco, and lima beans. Peanuts, potatoes, and yams were raised in the south by the Indians, but they can now be grown farther north. Wild rice, maple sugar, and many other native plants were also used as sources of food. POTTERY Good play is abundant in many localities and with a little help a Cub can make a fair sample of pottery work. One old Indian method was to first pat out a small disk to be used as the bottom of the article. Next they formed a quanity of clay into a long cylinder like a roll, began at one edge of the disk and built up the article by coiling the strip of clay around and around. Light rubbing with a wet sponge will cement the layers together and give strength to the finished product. Colors may be applied after the first drying. The final baking may be done fairly successfully in an ordinary oven. However, much higher temperature must be used in Order to produce real pottery. INDIAN COLORS Every Cub knows the familiar stains and colors from wild berries and nut husks. Who hasn't gathered the poke berries for ink? The Indians, however, found additional sources of dye. Some of our common plants yielded to them the beautiful colors that were so desired. Some of the following materials must be boiled, others are water soluable. Let the Cubs experiment and get the thrill of making real Indian dyes. RED - Boil the old and partly decayed roots of the sycamore tree. Bloodroot - use the roots. YELLOW Inner bark of the black oak. Root of Osage-Orange and mulberries. Leaves of birches. BLUE - Leaves of wild carrot and black locust. PURPLE - Red cedar rootlets and'walnut wood. ORANGE - Alder cones. BLACK INDIAN SAND PAINTING Cubs can make simple attractive sand pictures by employing the methods of the Navajo Indians. They ground their pigments finely between heavy stones. Thus - Red sand came from grinding red sandstone; white sand from white sand- stone; yellow sand from yellow sandstone; and black from charcoal, with addition of red sandstone to give it weight. An outline was prepared on the dirt floor. (Cubs can use a piece of sticky paper or cardboard - try rubber cement on cardboard). The powder is picked up between the first and second fingers and thumb and then allowed to flow out slowly as the hand is moved about over the paper. The powder, of course, sticks to the paper and forms a design. Crewe Coeur COuncil Boy Soouts of America Seoure two burlap bags either.. new or used.. Your grooer may have some.

The game is played with sticks with curved ends and a ball. A goal at each end of the playing area is marked by two upright sticks or stakes. To play the game, the ball is planed in the center of the playing area by the umpire, while the teams line up at their respective goal lines. At a signal a member from each team rushes to the ball and trys to drive it toward his opponents goal. Other members of the teams then assist in driving the ball between the goal posts of their opponents. The ball is not to be touched at any time with the hand, foot or any part of the body. Excellent shinny sticks may be secured by Cubs 1rlooking among young willow trees of about an inch in diameter which grow along the bank of a stream. Often the trunks of these young trees grow out from the roots on a curve. Seolect such a curved willow, trim the roots so as to leave a club or knob. Cut off a 3 or 4 foot length of the trunk, peel off the bark. After the stick has dried it may be decorated with painted Indian designs. An empty small-sized condensed milk can makes a very good ball, even though it becomes battered. INDIAN TRANSPORTATION Try this on your dog! INDIAN TOSS AND CATCH - WOODCRAFT BASSBALL Thia simple game area very popular _.at`. oas time among most of the Indians of the hest from Alaska to Mexico. The Indians -used a thin bone shaft' op awl on which they eaught *eetibns of bol .o w hok-e and hollow bones •which were strung ' loosely along a buck. akin thong tied to one end of the' shift often*. This string cif bones is swung through the air and the platyer *riot to catch them on the awl, various, points being "aooumulated by catching, different sections of the bones or other objects' On the string. Cubs can ;easily make this game frbm laterials A W 1 they may find near at home. The awl can be a heavy piece of wire, a wooden skewer seoured'fron'a meat market, ag long thorn frost the black lobu`st' tree," or a long near+ _stick whittled from a piece, of soft g.w. wood. The tsrrgetn °may be made of sieotione s of narrow Bic.: s bones secured fraM,the butcher, sections . of " chicken or „x ukey leg bees, hallow pieces of horn,, large wooden beads, eta.

Additional oharaotereJnay be added,by dividing the parts of the play among other`Cibe;"or the'CUb'May double. up on the parts if ,fewer characters are desired. 0 al AKELA: (Standing in front of the curtain and speaking to the audience) I am Akela, My father, Arrow of Light, which means progress, was very wise and strong. He taught me how-to make bows and arrows, and haw to hunt the animals in the forest. My mother, Kind Eyes, taught me many wonderful things how to under- stand the apseoh and signs and halls.ot thl ,Webelos. My parents took. me on ;little trips into the forests.. Here, frown `the wolf, I learned the language of the ground and about tracks. From the big, kindly bears, I learned the names of the trees and the calls of the birds. But before I could be a "scouting brave", I had to look the lion in the, eye end learn the language of-the stout heart, which was afraid of nothing and which never gave up. Then, and then only, could I join the young braves and help in the affairs of the tribe. The braves were taught that the tribecould:.be....no greater than. its boys. My father said, "The future is hidden,..but iF we are strongSat. brave, and help our boys to be the same, our tribe will be strong. If our boys aresquare and gams. they will take .. our, places and our tribe will oontinue to be great.. SCENE I - At Night: (Mowgli. is standing in tle,,eatranoe of his . teepee gssing,into a.glowing camp fire which furnishes the light for this soene) OWL CALL (fr-on behind stage): Who .. who! Who • who•o•o-o-ah-h! MOWGLI: I,istent, to that owl. I know ,that the owl won't hurt me, yet it always makes little shivers run down my book bone. WOLF CALLS: (from behind stage),(Sharp dog-like barks to be drawn out into a howl) MOWGLI: There's a wolf calling. Other wolves are answering that call. Here they come. Good thing my camp fire is burning. They: won't come near this light. They don't 1)1ethe fire. -2- Look3 They are gathering in a oirore around that old wolf, Now they are following him as a leader, as they go to hunt their food, 4 Oh, Boy1 - Playing, wolves 'moult make -a swell game for us, and we can have a leader like these wolves have. I'll tell the boys about it tomorrow. (Mowgli stretches, yawns and then falls asleep in front of his teepee and campfire. SCHNL II - The Next ,.;r.rnin (Before the curtain rises Indians are beard °singing behind the scenes:) we are Indians out for hunting! Hi-yi-yi-yi, we are Indians out for hunting!

MOWGLI: I was watching the wolves last night and I thought we could play we were a pack of wolVe8 and have a leader And follow him, as the wolves did. 1st INDIAN: That'll be Ault But who 11 be- our leader? 5th INDIAN: Akela, my brother, will be our leader. 2nd INDIAN:.lLet 's get him. (Two boys exit and return with° Akela and say together) He'll be our leader. 3rd INDIAN: (To Akela) You start in and tell us what to do. AKELA: Letts get together around the fire as our Dads do. 4th INDIANS We ought to make some rules or laws for our pack. 2nd INDIAN: Well, first we should obey our leader and do what he tellsus to do. UQWGLI $ Q.K. Letts make our first rule, then, « to follow Akela. ALL: The Cub follows Akela. 5th INDIAN: Akela, what would you suggest for another law? AKELA: Well, we should be helpful. Site can help one another and be helpful at home and wherever go. 1st INDIAN; Good: Then our second law oan be, "The Cub'helps the Pack go". 2nd INDIAN: How's this for another helpful thought? "The Pack helps the Cub grow". 3rd INDIAN: What else would you suggest, Akela? AKELA: We should be happy and give happiness. We should be friendly to other people and show our good will by doing good deeds. 4th INDIAN : How's this, then, for another law? "The Cub gives goodwill." AKELA; Fine. Let's see if we can say these laws together. ALL: (Give Cub laws.) AKELA: There are three important words in those laws, 3rd INDIAN: What are they? 1st INDIAN : I know, Follows, Helps and Gives. AKELA s That's right. And. the initial letters of these words, F H • and G, have an important meaning to us. They stand for Fatherland or Country, Home and God. 1st INDIAN : We ought to have some secret sign for our den. 4th INDIAN : I got a swell idea. Let these two fingers be our den sign. 3rd INDIAN: What's the idea of those two fingers? 4th INDIAN; Seel They are just like the wolves' ears - alert, attentive. AMA: That, in Indian language, means intelligence - wisdom. 2nd INDIAN: I think we all want to be smart and know how to do things right. 1st INDIAN: Whatever I do, I like to do my best. 5th INDIAN: Say, that gives me another idea. "Do your best". That would make a fine motto. AKELA It surely would.. Those whaawou li.ke "Do your,best" for our motto, give our new sign. (Boys give the sign). 4th INDIAN: :here did .our tribe got the name "%Tebeloa"? AKELA: From* the Wolf, Bear and Lion. 1st INDIAN* Does that have any speolal meaning?

Y. - 755 Market St., San Francisco, Cal. 231 South Green St., Chicago, Ill. - Chicago Retail Store, 9 W. Washington St. PRINTED IN U. S. A. on ex A FASCINATING CRAFT MATERIAL FOR THE CLASSROOM, CAMP AND HOM is an ideal three-dimen- sional craft material. It is a soft bubbly-light sponge rubber with a fascinating tex- ture, pliable and resilient. The many colors in which it comes - bright, harmonious shades - are beautiful to look at. Spongex is extremely easy to work with, for a pair of scissors is the only tool required. A snip of the shears, and any desired size or shape is obtained. Thus, youthful hands, working with natural awkwardness, find little difficulty in fashioning fanciful "creations" from it. With only a pair of scissors, a tube of rubber cement and an idea, children soon transform a few irregularly shaped and differently colored pieces of Spongex into an attractive animal, flower, house, or automobile. Naturally creative children can obtain truly astonishing results, yet less gifted children do not feel "left out," for Page Two anyone can make effective objects of Spongex. Both groups thrill at the ease with which effects can be obtained, and are rightfully proud of their accomplishments. It is no wonder that Spongex has become an outstanding favorite with every child who has used it. Education authorities have been quick to endorse Spongex. They realize how helpful this material is in developing the creative instinct, for the child's cooperation is won through his enthusiasm for a material so easy to use. They have found Spongex to be invaluable in fostering the habit of successful accomplishment. Children finish what they start before they tire of the effort - an important factor, as you, a teacher, well know. Teachers, too, have welcomed Spongex as an addition to the regular class schedule. Children need no encouragement to work with it, and the articles which they turn out, so attrac- tive, colorful and so unusually well done, label the teacher as a resourceful one. Only materials which are pure are used in making Spongex. It is clean and sanitary, and may be rinsed out with soap and water to keep it fresh and ready for repeated use. It cannot be ground into the floor or clothing. As easy as it is to cut and shape Spongex, it is even easier to join the separate pieces. The surfaces which are to be joined together are simply coated with a small amount of rubber cement, allowed to dry for two or three minutes, and then pressed firm- ly together. In a few minutes they are as firmly cemented as if they were one piece of rubber. Spongex is, indeed, an ideal three- dimensional craft material. Page Three Page Four WHAT TO MAKE OF SPONGEX Pictured below are a few Spongex animals. These animals were cut from Spongex and cemented together to form very lovable figures. What child wouldn't delight at the thought of possessing one of these after he had made it himself 2 But these represent only a few of the possibilities. Toys, balls and dolls ; miniature homes and gardens ; masks and puppets; farm scenes with barns, houses and animals ; large- size projects of transportation or geography or history or similar studies; models of stage sets -these are others. Brushes for shoes or clothing, toys which may be used for bath sponges, kneeling pads for home or garden, mosaic pat- terned bedside rugs and pen wipers are more practical things which can be made, worth-while objects which your pupils will be proud to bring home for well-deserved praise. Permitting children to select their own subjects develops individuality and originality, since Spongex is a material with which they can express three dimensions to their entire satis- faction. Left to their own resources, they will think of such a variety of subjects that you will be surprised at the results Spongex is, itself, suggestive of many things to make. The irregular forms in which the cuttings come frequently suggest some animal or object which can be made with a little trim- ming here and there, and the addition of a few extra pieces. An interesting class period can be spent in which each pupil attempts to make the most interesting object from such a start. Page Five SPONGEX IN OLDER CLASSES For older classes, Spongex affords unusual opportunities for inventiveness in design and structural innovation, as the farm project on page two demonstrates. Spongex is well suited to project work. The spongy greens are ideal for grass or shrubbery, while the smooth surfaces of the rubber in suitable colors are suggestive of cement or wood. Thin, irregular layers fitted on actual tree branches represent clusters of leaves perfectly. People, animals, tractors or plows snipped from Spongex are quite realistic. Bits of mirror or glass, securely cemented to the Spongex, serve beautifully for canals or ponds. Bright, colorful flower beds are formed with Spongex snippings, sprinkled on a rubber cemented surface. The project on page two was built by the children of an elementary grade. The farmer and his wife, the geese, the pigs, and the chickens were all snipped from Spongex. A mirror formed the pond, and bits of green Spongex were attached to the branches of the tree to simulate foliage. The lawn, the field and the barnyard were made with appropriate colors of soft Spongex. Actual stories were used for the fence to complete this scene of remarkable realism. Hundreds of similar projects will suggest themselves to you when you see how easily your pupils can obtain these same effects with colorful, accurate representations. Because it is so easily workable, Spongex will permit undertakings which would otherwise be impractical. Page Six How TO MAKE THINGS OF SPONGEX "blow to Make Things of Spongex", an interesting booklet containing nearly two hundred illustrations accompanies each order for Spongex. It presents many suggestions as to what to make, giving detailed explanations and complete patterns, step by step. Reproduced below is one series of these illustrations, show- ing how easily the scotty on the preceding page is made. First the body is cut from black Spongex, the same shape as the pattern. Cement is spread on one side, in the area marked with parallel lines only, in order to give him a firm stance. With the body thus formed, the scotty begins to take shape. Next the shape marked "head" is cut out, covered on one side with cement, and folded over in the shape shown at the upper left. Mouth, ears, tail and nose are shaped, and all the pieces cemented together. Last of all, a red tongue of correct length is cut out and cemented into the mouth. The result is the lively little scotty at the right. You can give him different expressions, depending on the position in which the parts are cemented together. With his ears and tail up, he is a very happy little indi- vidual; with his ears and tail down, he is for- lornly sad. In similar fashion, a duck with beak open and wings spread is much more wide awake than with beak closed and wings folded. Page Seven The construction of other ob- jects, whether single subjects or complete projects, is just as sim- ple, and is completely explained in the booklet "How to Make Things of Spongex. " This booklet will be helpful when you are hard pressed for time to plan new and original things to make. It will suggest numberless other things which you will want to try. How IT IS PACKED The school package of Spongex is shipped in units of ten pounds. Because Spongex is so extremely light in weight (4/5 of its volume is really air!), a ten pound box is quite large, measuring 16" x 16" x ]0". Each box contains an assortment of sizes, shapes, colors and thicknesses. The amount you will require for your pupils will depend, of course, on the size cf the objects made but an idea may be gathered from the Farm project on page two this com- plete scene was made with the contents of a ten pound box. There is enough material in a ten pound box to make dozens of the small animals shown on pages four and five. You can see that Spongex is economical to use. And its first use isn't its last, for objects can be taken apart and the pieces used many times. Large sheets of material in one color, for projects or other more extensive work, are available. Rubber cement is packed in tubes, quarter pint cans and quart cans. Five tubes or one quarter-pint can will securely cement eighteen of the animals shown on the preceding pages. Your classes will teem with interest and enthusiasm when you introduce Spongex. Send for one or more boxes today. FOR CAMPS AND HOMES Spongex will afford hours of interesting activity in either camp or home. The many articles mentioned in this booklet can be made, as well as miniature replicas of the camp grounds, beach or camp-fire mats, colorful head bands, eye- shades, water-balls, baskets, seats for chairs and canoes, bump- ers for canoes and floats, moccasins and clothes brushes. LIST PRICE SPONGEX assorted cuttings and trimmings in 10 pound box with 10 tubes of cement .... $2.50 per box Spongex in sheets, 28" x 34", for projects or other more extensive work, is available, in these colors: dark green., S71.; light green, S72; red, S44; yellow, S63; black, S35; white, S20; light blue, S82; dark blue, S86 ; rose, S41; orchid, S42; and brown, S14.

CAMPS INSTITUTIONS WHAT VELCRAFT IS-Velcraft is a new, different craft material somewhat similar to horn in consistency. Velcraft comes in an almost endless variety of colors and ranges in thickness from that of paper to about Y4-inch. Thicker pieces are easily made by cementing several layers together. EASY TO USE-Velcraft has so rapidly grown in popularity because it can be headily cut, filed and formed into any desired shape. It has been used successfully by J}roups of children from seven to eighteen years of age. Not only are children enthusiastic in their work with Velcraft, but adults also have shown an interest far beyond our anticipations. ENDLESS COLORS-Velcraft can be had in a large variety of colors and patterns combinations. Its natural beautiful lustre brings out the colors in vivid contrast. A complete project attains a professionally- finished appearance, even in the hands of those inexperienced in handicraft work. CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES-As an ideal material for self expression it would be hard to improve on Velcraft. The liquid cement, used for the purpose, practically fu~es together instantly, the pieces to be joined. Changes and corrections in design can be made without trouble. An endless variety of shapes and color combinations is. so easily achieved, that interest in the work builds up and continues indefinitely. INEXPENSIVE-Very little equipment is needed for the work. It can be done out of doors where shop tools and equipment are not available. The cost of material is so low that a complete ring can be made for less than ten cents. A TRIED AND PROVEN PRODUCT-Adult groups have worked with Velcraft for the past four years, first in an experimental way and finally on a production basis, the finished product being sold commercially. Boys and girls groups in camps, clubs and schools have used it during the past two years with most gratifying results„ Why not get a supply and see for yourself?

IC WEST 23E° STREET NEW YORK C 1 T Y'N, NEV YORK INDIAN CRAFT FOR CAMP AND SCOUTING Many features of the Boy Scout Program are based upon old Indian customs and traditions. Trailing, signaling and fire-making are but a few of the phases of Scouting which revert back to the ancient customs of the redmen. These activities all tend to keep alive the Indian traditions and at the same time have a very definite and romantic appeal to boy-nature. It is quite reasonable to suppose that smoke-signaling, for example, would lose considerable of its appeal were it not handed down to us by the redmen. Indiancraft is a fine, all-year diversion, but its proper setting is in the great outdoors, close to Nature as the Indians lived. Are you seeking new ways of making your camp life interesting this summer? Indian Craft will create an interest in Indian lore in any camp. There is, possibly some legend or story of the former Indians who used to roam over your present campsite. Look it up, it will make an interesting evening at your campfire sessions. Indian Craft may be used to create interest in your camp itself by having a group of boys interested in Indian Craft, customs, dances, etc., live somewhere upon the camp- site in tepees, attending mess possibly in war paint and bonnets occasionally. This group may be used in teaching, tracking and other such work. Headdresses, tom-toms, etc., furnish material for dramatic effect for the campfire and council display, and lend color and romance to camp pictures. There is obviously the great educational nature connected with Indian work. The making of Indian headdresses is an interesting way to inaugurate an Indian program at your camp. Your boys will take to it immediately and it will add immeas- urably to your camp life.
