TELLS ABOUT MY MERIT BADGE Wasn't that a crazy thing?
Just because last summer I put a stalking sign on one of Vic's trees.

How did I know it was his?
As soon as he told me, I marked off my claim the same as any scout would.

Maybe I ought to have remembered that he was out for the stalker's badge, but believe me, I have enough to remember with the Silver Fox patrol.
Gee whiz, nobody can say that I ever butt in when a patrol is breaking in a tenderfoot.

That's one thing I wouldn't do.

I wouldn't even have bothered to tell you about it at all, except that it had _momentous consequences_--that's what Pee-wee said.
At supper there was a big round flat piece of wood tied with a rope at my place and on it was printed "_Sneaker's Badge_." It must have been cut out of a piece of wood from a grocery box, because I noticed on the other side of it, it said "_Honey Boy_" I suppose it meant some kind of cookies or crackers or soap maybe.
