SECOND CLASS SCOUT

"THE SKILLS I'M LEARNING ARE GUEST!" says a Scout working on his Second Class badge. "I'm going on adventures with my patrol and troop, and I'm having lots of fun."

With the Tenderfoot requirements behind you, you're ready to move ahead toward Second Class. You're about to learn how to use a map and compass. Soon you will know new ways to observe wildlife, and you'll understand when and how to build a campfire.

You'll master the safe use of pocketknives and other woods tools, go on more campouts, take part in - troop and patrol activities, and add to your knowledge of first aid. Add swimming and a service project, and you will be well on your way to wearing the Second Class award.

"A trailsman is a fellow who knows how to find his way through the wilds. He hikes through forests, over moun- tains, across desert lands. His best friends are his compass and his map. They tell him where he is and how to get where he wants to go." Scout Field Book, 1st edition, 1944
