AMERICAN SCOUTING'S START
Everybody knows of the Boy Scouts,
but few people are aware that one
small boy in a crowded London street
inadvertently planted the acorn that
has grown into that sturdy oak, the
Boy Scouts of America.
W. D. Boyce of Chicago in 1909, on
his way to a certain destination in
London, lost his way in the devious
mazes of that city. Pausing in un
certainty to get his hearings, he was
confronted by a small boy who sa
luted and asked politely if he might
be of service. Pleased by the lad’s
manner and grateful for the timely
offer of aid, Mr. Boyce accepted the
lad’s guidance, and arrived at the goal,
offered him a shilling. To his amaze
ment the boy drew himself up, saluted
with dignity and replied that he was a
boy scout, and a scout never took tips
for small deeds of courtesy. His
curiosity piqued by this response, the
American asked pertinent questions as
to hoy scouts, of whom he knew noth
ing at the time. He was promptly
conveyed to the British scout head
quarters and introduced to Sir Robert
Baden-Powell.
When Mr. Boyce sailed for home he
brought with him a trunkful of scout
literature and a determination that
American boys should have scouting
at once and effectively.
SCOUTS AFD OVERWORKED CATS.
The boy scouts have rallied to the
aid of Chicago’s hard-pressed cats, and
some much-dreaded infectious diseases
will not spread further—not if the
boys and the cats can help it.
An intensive campaign for the ex
termination of rats and ground squir
rels has been launched by the scouts.
Eight thousand scouts, taking with
them some hundreds of rat terriers,
are in search of the rodents.
The most energetic boys and the
best trained terriers will lurk about
South Water street, where the biggest
rats are to be found.
