JANUARY, 1958
Boy Scouts Urged
To Work For
Textile Merit Badge
In choosing
ik which Merit
L?v Badges he will
work for, a
WfY Boy Scout will
naturally select
subjects which
he is interested
in. For this
reason a program
is being started by
Scoutmasters Charles Leatherwood
and Ellis Huffstetler
to urge all Clinton and Lydia
Boy Scouts to work lor tne
Textile Merit Badge.
Even in areas, such as ours,
that are predominantly textile,
this merit badge has
received scanty attention, in M
spite of the fact that many ^
textile plants sponsor troops .
and have supervisory personnel
and others who are active I
in Scouting, either as scoutmasters,
council officials or i
committee members.
Clinton and Lydia are justly
proud of the Scout troops
in their respective communi
uus anu in uiuui iu jjiuiuui.tr |
interest in the textile merit
badge. Superintendents CI. M.
Huguley and D. H. Roberts
have offered to work with
the scoutmasters in the community
and to help in any
way possible with this
project.
The require#ments
for the
textile merit
badge are listed
in the Boy
Scout Handbook.
T o o,
there is a booklet on textiles
in the merit badge series.
Any scout, who is interested
in work on this merit badge,
may obtain one of these booklets
from his scoutmaster on
request.
Perhaps the section of this
booklet entitled "Textiles and
You" best outlines the rea
sons this particular merit
badge can be of value:
"You are surrounded by <
textiles; the Scout uniform
you so proudly wear, the tent '
that shelters you on a camping
trip, the blanket that I
covers you, your clothing, the
sturdy pack that carries your
equipment'?all these useful
things are textiles.
"You can travel from Maine I
to Alabama and find spinning
and weaving mills in every i
state. You can visit any largo
city from New York to Los *
Angeles and find clothing
factories in every one. You
will find cotton fields from I
South Carolina to California
growing textile fibers.
"Millions of American men
and women are making a living
in this industry. Some
day you mav bo working in
it yourself. You don't have to
he a worker in textiles, however,
to profit by a knowledge
of them. You will be buying
textiles all your life, and
you'll he better satisfied if
you know what you are
buying."
Usher: "How far down do
you wish to sit. sir?"
Boh: "Why. all the way.
Miss ... I'm kind of tired."
