TELLS YOU HOW TO GET TO TEMPLE CAMP Gee whiz, I wouldn't say anything against the Elks, that's sure, because they're all peachy scouts when you come right down to it, but I have to admit that they're crazy about stunts.

They have more merit badges in their patrol than there are in the Ravens and Silver Foxes put together.

Hunt Ward's sleeve looks like one of those Indian totem poles, there are so many badges on it.

Anyway, I should worry, we have twenty-two badges in our patrol, and more good turns in the troop book than either of the other patrols.

That's what counts, too--good turns.
The trouble with the Elks was that every time they got a new fellow, he must take a header for some badge or other and most always he would have two or three stunt badges (that's merit badges, you know) waiting for him when he passed his first class tests.
