With the Boy Scouts
At Camp Chehaw
Blakely Boy Awarded Eagle
Scout Badge
First step in the ladder of Scout
ing is the Tenderfoot rank. This is
I the beginning of the boy’s life as a
'member of the Boy Scouts of Amer
|ica. If one works hard, he may ad
i vance to a Second Class, First Class,
Star, Life and finally to the Eagle
rank. There are very few who reach
this top step in the ladder.
On Monday night an impressive
service was held for two Scouts in :
camp. The first of the two, Joe:
Cross, a Lone Scout of Colquitt, Ga., ■
was awarded a Tenderfoot badge in i
recognition of having reached the
first step in Scouting. The second |
Scout was Borden Barry, a member
icf the camp staff for 1942. He was j
|led into the council blindfolded and ,
jwith a scroll of birch-bark and i
awarded the Eagle badge, the high
’est riink you may reach.
Joe Cross deserves sincere praise \
■for his work as a Lone Scout. It i
takes real character for a Scout to
; work by himself to reach a goal
i which is recognized as a hard one.
There are not many Eagle Scouts
who deserve to wear the Eagle badge
more than does Borden Barry. He
has worked and sweated for more |
than three years for this rank, and
it wasn’t easy going, either. He has
done a fine job back home as Junior I
Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 97
of Blakely and is doing a fine job
here in camp on the staff.
Above, it was stated that it was
an impressive service. Proof was
found of that statement after taps
that night. After time had been
I given all the boys to go to bed, some
iof the staff made the rounds of the
various camp sites and found in one
tent six boys studying the Scout
handbook by candlelight. This was ■
very unusual. Apparently, they too i
will become Eagle Scouts.—Americus
Times-Recorder.
