All food and drinks will also be funded by the Congressman and available to all pre-registered scouting units. Be sure to pick up food and drink tickets at the base of the Tom Lee Monument where the check-in dining fly will be located.

David Endsley has been a loyal supporter of Scouting for more years than most of us can remember. (Actually, Endsley isn't his real name but he would be embarrassed by the public telling of his story). Each year Mr. Endsley signs up as a Sustaining Member of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scouts of America. In recent years this has become more important to him as the demands of his job and the increasing restraints of his age have allowed him to do less with the boys. For years he has been approached by one of his old Scouting friends and, after some good natured teasing about the cost of things and how "they don 't do it anymore like when we were kids," he signed the pledge ca r d offered him . His pledge wasn't large, but within his means, and over the years he h as supported a lot of boys in Scouting. He figured that supporting a boy in Scouting for a full year for $46 was a bargain. Somehow this year was different. This year no one asked him for his pledge. Each time he saw a Scout in uniform he wondered, Have they forgotten me? Have they decided that I'm too old? Or not rich enough to bother with? Fact is, David was simply the victim of "system brakedown." A new enroller had called when David was on vacation and possibly never managed to call again . The result was a friend of Scouting turned away. Unfortunately , this may have happe n ed all too often this year. Our records suggest that a lot oflong-time friends like David may not have been asked for their continual support this year. Are you one of these people? SCOUTING NEEDS YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT RENEW YOUR SUSTAINING MEMBERSHI P NOW Please accept this invitation to renew your Sustaining Membership by supporting a boy in Scouting for a year at the cost of $46 - or as many boys as you can afford to support.

The Excellent Northeast District and Nashoba District had approximately 150 Webelos Scouts and their dads enjoy the Webelos Encampment at Camp Currier.

We urge Scoutmasters and Troop Committees to communicate with your partners in the Cub Scouting Program to help bring these young men into your Troop. Let us help these Webelos make the transition into a Boy Scout Troop so that they may continue to explore themselves and the outdoor experience. We wish to thank Walt Reinecke of the Excellent Northeast District and B.C. Jennings of Nashoba for their leadership in the Webelos Encampment. Also thanks goes to those who make it possible and that is all the leaders in both districts.

Classes in nature, crafts, games and field sports will be offered Monday thru Thursday. Friday will be a "Fun Day " with special activities for the boys, in<iluding a tentative free picnic lunch. A13 suggested in Scouting Magazine, we are making an effort to provide the boys with activities and experiences that most would not normally experience at home. Some examples are archery, simple carpentry, and leatherwork. In accordance with the Day Camp Manual, "You must know how many to prepare for," we have established a deadline for applications on June 30, 1980. Let us all make plans to comply with this date since it is essential for staff personnel, buying of supolies, etc. For more information call Linda Schile, 1980 Cub Day Camp Director for the Northeast, at 388-7065; Catherine Mensi, 1980 Program Director, 38689°66; or the Scout Service Center, 327-4193. 11 ·... ·., S~gnals II COMMISSIONER Jerry Meeks The Webelos Encampment was a great success.

While on an outing with B.S.A. Troop 256, Whitten Memorial Baptist Church, Memphis, TN., two Scouts; Eagle John Threadgill and Eagle David Harris were faced with an emergency situation which required their quick thinking and action. Their Troop was camped at Nathan Bedford Forrest on the Tennessee River. Threadgill and Harris were some distance from their camp on the bank of the river when they spotted several teen-agers who had been canoeing in the windy river. One of the canoes overturned, spilling agirland a boy into the cold water. The Scouts ran to the scene where the girl had been helped to shore by two other boys. Threadgill and Harris had been trained in B.S.A. First Aid and had gone through several simulated emergency situations. The boys involved were O.K. but the girl was hysterical, and the Scouts realized that she was showing signs of shock and could experience hypothermia if help wasn't obtained promptly. The Rooutti took ch a rfife of the Aituetion RA they had h~n trAinPrl . They knew th at on e of th em s ht)uld go for help, and the other should remain on the scene to prevent the group from wandering in the wrong direction. Harris remained trying to keep the girl as warm as possible, and assured her that help was on the way. Threadgill ran to his camp where he calmly reported the facts to his adult leaders which permitted quick and correct response. Within minutes, the girl was in a warm blanket, and was being transported to her camp for further treatment. By the next day, she was doing fine due to the response by these two Scouts. The actions taken by John Threadgill and David Harris reflect their mature thinking in an emergency situation, and is a tribute to them and the B.S.A training they received.

While on an outing with B.S.A. Troop 256, Whitten Memorial Baptist Church, Memphis, TN., two Scouts; Eagle John Threadgill and Eagle David Harris were faced with an emergency situation which required their quick thinking and action. - Their Troop was camped at Nathan Bedford Forrest on the Tennessee River. Threadgill and Harris were some distance from their camp on the bank of the river when they spotted several teen-agers who had been canoeing in the windy river. One of the canoes overturned, spilling agirland a boy into the cold water. The Scouts ran to the scene where the girl had been helped to shore by two other boys. Threadgill and Harris had been trained in B.S.A. First Aid and had gone through several simulated emergency situations. The boys involved were O.K. but the girl was hysterical, and the Scouts realized that she was showing signs of shock and could experience hypothermia if help wasn't obtained promptly. The Rooutti took ch a rfife of the Aituetion RA they had h~n trAinPrl. They knew th at one of them s ht)uld go for help, and the other should remain on the scene to prevent the group from wandering in the wrong direction. Harris remained trying to keep the girl as warm as possible, and assured her that help was on the way. Threadgill ran to his camp where he calmly reported the facts to his adult leaders which permitted quick and correct response. Within minutes, the girl was in a warm blanket, and was being transported to her camp for further treatment. By the next day, she was doing fine due to the response by these two Scouts. The actions taken by John Threadgill and David Harris reflect their mature thinking in an emergency situation, and is a tribute to them and the B.S.A training they received.
