COILE, Clerk. GEORGIA —Early County: It is hereby ordered by the Court that the above and foregoing Gener- ■ al Presentments of the Grand Jury be received, adopted, approved, filed for record and published, according to law. This 22nd day of July, 1942. C. W. WORRILL, J. S. C. P. C. 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.
