SCOUTS PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES

National Coart of Honor Awardi SpciJ Medals for Heroic Acts.

There are over 500 boys in the United States who have received medals for saving life, at the risk of their own. It did not require a Boy Scout Morvemerrt to make boys heroic. But It did ceem to require that movement to teach boys to be prepared to meet emergencies In which heroism would count for little without knowledge of what to do. This week we all are glad to give a thought to what the Scout Movement is doing for our boys. How many of us know what a splendid record Fcouts have as life-savers, and in meeting emergencies that threaten Mfe and property? The truth Is, it has become such a matter-of-fact thing to expect scout:; to' help fight epidemics, floods, fires, panics. that we forget that they are boys who. are doing these tilings. In tweKe years, boyhood in America has been trained to give orga.niz.ed, lnteliiment, efficient service in combatting some of the worst foes to public safety. The National Court of Honor of the Boy Scouts of America, towards special medal to scouts who risk their lives trying to have others. In the twelve years of Boy Scout history. 543 uch honor medals have been awarded, and many letters of commendation in addition for heroic acts Involving lc.-ser risk. These are individual heroes. The Hat of calamities ' In which whole troops of scouts have given heroic senvtee in aiding the authorities' to relieve suffering and prevent the spread of danger, is a long one. The Toms River Explosion, the Pueblo and the San Antonio Floods, the Tnfi'jenaa epidemic of 1518. are merely examples. Our own Scouts have met the'ir otoorumltles in heroic fashion, and are daily preparing themselves to meet others like heroes.
