A-SCOUTS' CLUB.

There are Clubs and Clubs.

A Real Scout Cind.

I have been in club rooms of moy Now a Scouts' Club-room is'ngain different kinds in my time. Of | different from any of these, and yet course there are the Clubs in Lan- if it is a good one it has a touch don, where old gentlemen sit in fat of them all. armchairs read newspapers, and

I belong to one of these myself, so I know how very comfortable they are-and how very uncomfortable! Too starchy for me!

In Kashmir I came across another kind of Club. This was a sort of shed where the old men of the village used to meet in the evenings and tell stories about the tribe and its history.

A Club where old men of the village used to meet.

Here the younger men collected round to hear the brave deeds of their fathers in battle and in the chage, and so to learn how to become good men in their turn.

Then, like a French Salle d'Hon. neur, it should have the trophies and records of the Troop displayed on its walls, including Rolls of Honour, records of prizes and Com- petitions, photos of camps, Flags, Totems, and so on.

As in the case of the Kashmir village club the Scouts' room is the place where young fellows come to hear about the gallant deeds of their forbears and fellow-countrymen, and where they pick up the pluck and spirit to do as these men have done.

The Club of which any Scout is proudest is that which he has had a hand in building, or decorating, or furnishing.

I have sten all sorts of Scouts' Clubs, but by far the best and most interesting have been those which the boys have mide and equipped for themselves rather than those which have been supplied to them by the generosity of others.

Do It Yourself.

We all take a pride in something we have made ourselves, and "conse- quently the Secut Club that is look.. ed after the best and kept the cleanest and most spick and span is. the one that has been built entirely by the Scouts themselves in their spare time after work or school bours, when each fellow turns up and does his hit of the work in whatever line he excels at.

The Backwoodsman's Club.

There is nothing in the inside of In the Canadian backwoods I have such a Club that has not been made seen log huts put up by hunters, by the members themselves; and, and, used by themselves or other though they do not have fat leather people coming there for headquar-armchairs, the seats they do have ters during their shooting or Sshing are well made and strong, and such as a Scout is proud to offer to a expeditions.

visitor.

These huts were built by the men themselves and fitted with all the woodman's clever dodges, such as simple door-locks, rough but com- fortable furniture, and ornamented with skins and horns they had secured in the chase, as well as with

·rough drawings or carved toteme.

That's the sort of club I like best of all.

When I see a Club room like that, and hear that the Scouts have done it all themselves, I know at once that they are a jolly good and efficient Troop and that the mem- bers, whether as a Troop or as in- dividuals, will get or in the world because they can fend for them- selves.
