The above posts bring back many memories of Boy Scouting, Order of the Arrow, serving on the Staff at summer camp and Pioneer camp. We had great leaders without a whisper of scandal. The Boy Scouts were a large part of my Life and helped form my personality. Stil to this day, I tie my boots with a square knot and thr "dummy chord" on my walking cane to a belt loop with a bowline. These are among the knots I learned in the scouts. I received Boy's Life the whole time and read them from cover to cover in one sitting. The Jim Corbett story must have been after my time but have read his books and there is no doubt it would have been one of the first story's I would have read. I remember wearing a Cub Scout Knife to school, clipped onto my uniform belt on meeting days. Today they would close the school and call S.W.A.T.
