CHAPTER XI
10/21

We must make it just as hard for ourselves to become Second Class Scouts as it is for the city lads.

"And we'll not only learn the sixteen principal points of the compass, but we'll learn to box the compass to the quarter point as navigators do." "I can box un now," grinned David.
"So can I box un!" Andy exclaimed.

"Dad told me how, same as he told Davy." "And I can learn to box un easy," promised Jamie.

It was easy enough to roast a spruce grouse on the end of a stick.
