How the Scout Advance
Boy scouts are organized in patrols and troops. Eight boys form a patrol and a patrol leader is chosen. Three or four patrols compose a troop. The scoutmaster leads the troop and any boy over twelve may join. Initial steps include taking the oath and law, knowing badge meaning, and tests in flag history and knot tying. Scoutcraft covers first aid, lif saving, tracking, signaling, cycling, nature study, seamanship, campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry and handicrafts.
