Boy Scouts Prepared To
Meet Emergencies And To
Safeguard Against Disease
By Dr. C. N. Sisk, District Health :
Officer.
"Be Prepared" is the motto of
Boy Scouts of America. In his
Scout oath, a Scout promises to
help other people at all times. lie
has the couraee to face danger in
spite of fear, and to stand up for
the right against the coaxing of
friends, and the jeers and threats
of enemies, and defeat does not
down him. That Scouta fulfill
their obligation to help other peo
ple at all times is attested to by
the many awards by the National
Court of Honor recognizing
achievement of Scouts in life sav
ing, while a Scout may have the
courage to face danger in case of
emergency, nig first obligation to
himself and the one in distress is
to "be prepared." For a Scout to
become prepared to meet an emer
gency requires first a determina
tion to prepare himself, and then
to devote many hours to the studv
end practice of means and methods
d saving lire, it would be fool
hardy and a violation of the Scout
oath for one to attempt the res
cue of a drowning person unless
he had first become proficient in
fwimraing, methods of handling a
drowning person, and in artificial
respiration, after he had succeed
ed in removing the individual
from the water. It would be fool
ish for a Scout to enter a burning
building to rescue a person merely
to display courage, unless he had,
sufficient training in methods of
transporting an unconscious person
irom a smoke filled and burning
room. Proficiency in life saving
can oniy De attained by long and
arauou etrort on the part of a
Scout. A Scout should not let his
enthusiasm for keeping faith with
his obligation as a Scout to cause
mm to unnecessarily jeopardize his
own life unless he has sufficiently
prepared nimseii to carry out all
the approved life saving measures.
a acout owes an obligation to
Jiimseii, bis family, and his neigh
bors to protect himself against dis
eases. A good Scout will keep
himself immunized against small
pox, typhoid fever, and diphtheria,
o wi ne may not only avoid
contracting thes Hi
but by doing so will avoid Jeop-
uiujff Mie nveg 0I others by be
ing a possible source of transmit
ting these diseases. He will en
courage others to protect them
selves against Communicable dis
eases. He will obey all laws of
quarantine and sanitation in the
prevention of communicable dis
eases. He will carry out all rules
of hygiene pertaining to proper
exercise, diet, ventilation, bathing
care of his teeth, etc., in order that
? .""..J.!11 time3 ba Pyically
fit to fulfill his obligations and re-
"iionsiDuuies as a Scout.

whole, however, is not designed
merely to provide wholesome fun
for the boy. There is a serious
side to Scouting. The Scout Oath,
the bcout Laws are kept before the
boys at all times. It is not infre
quently that we see in the papers
that a Boy Scout has saved a life.
First Aid and emereencv treatment
for bodily injuries is a part of the
Scout program.
It is not possible in the snace
limited to this article to exnlain
in detail the entire Scout program
but it is designed to take a boy
12 years of .aire and e-ive him full
occupation for his spare time for
the next four years during which
he will have pained much useful
and some valuable information, but
principally he will have learned the
lundamental principals of manhood.
