Boy Scouts Will Meet
In District Assembly
On Fourth of October
Smoky Mountain District,
Comprising Jackson, Macon
and Swain Counties, Will
Send Representatives of
Six Scout Troops.
Boy Scouts from three counties
will assemble for the Smoky Moun
tain District Court of Honor to be
held here. Monday evening, Oc
tober 4. in the Allison Education
building at 8 o'clock.
District Chairman Hugh Mon
t teith of Sylva. says that at least
six troops will be represented and
that the meeting has been called
primarily to make plans and stimu
late interest in the Boy Scouts of
America.
'Jackson, *Macon and Swain coun
ties" comprise the local district of
this organization, parents particu
larly, are urged to attend.
Sylva Troop No. 1 is under the
guidance of the following commit
tee: Paul Ellis, chairman; Herbert
Gibson, 0. E. Brookhyser, J. L.
Hair, B. E. Harris, J. F. Corbin, I
R. G. Tuttle and nuyli Munleilh. j
Sylva Rotary and Lions clubs are I
joint sponsors.
George Lee is scout master and
his assistants are: J. F. Corbin,
W. E. Pettit and R. G. Tattle.
District Chairman Monteith, who
is also executive committeeman of
the Daniel Boone Council, expects
Scout Executive A. W. Allen, or an
assistant, to preside at the October
4th court.
Dafiiel Boone Council is the gov
erning body for 14 counties in
Western North Carolina, the Smoky
Mountain district being under its
supervision.
In all scouting activities, the
"court of honor*' is the executive
group to pass upon applications and
grant promotions.
Beginning as "tenderfoot," a boy
scout advances in the following
order: second class scout, first class
scout, star scout, life scout, eagle
scout.
To become the latter is the burn
ing ambition of every member seek
ing promotion, the passage from
"tenderfoot'1 to "eagle" "being a
course demanding much study,
practice in numerous branches, and
i 110 small extent of manly qualities.
| In achieving the coveted "eagle"
rating, Mr. Monteith pointed out
I that merit badges art- awarded for
proficiency in various activities.
Sum of these are required, others
jaiv elective, like subjects in a school
; curriculum. Thus the total .merit
awards for rhe required and the
elective add to thv impressive figure
of 103. An eagle scout "knows hU
' way around" in almost any situa
| tion.
I Mr. Monteith cited a recent oc
currence overseas, in the present
war. The life of an American sol
dier depended upon his ability to
climb from a gorge into which the
battle -movement had plunged him.
By the utmost ingenuity he was
able to emerge ? declaring after
ward that boy ^)ut training in
hurdle drills was what saved him.
Mr. Monteith, with proper pride,
also cites the fact that a recent
report revealed that, of the Ameri- i
can boys so far receiving special
citations for achievements under
fire, 78 per cent once were boy
scouts. He also made an interest
ing tabulation oT the subsequent
records of a troop of 32 Sylva
scouts whom he escorted to Wash
ington in 1930, for an eleven-day
event at the capitol. Eighty per
cent of these are now in service ?
showing the high average of fit
ness, physical and mental, -achiev
ed by these local sons now fighting
for their country.
"Doesn't that prove," was Mr.
MoYiteiih's earnest conclusion, "the
permanent, the eternal value of
scout methods and ideals?"
The district chairman declared
that he and all fellow committee
men are determined to work in
closest collaboration with candi
dates, scouts and parents, a definite
objective being the filling of the
local troop's ranks to complete
complement of 32, boys from 12 to
18 being eligible.
"All we need is a little pep," he
added, "and we are going to get it."
