Here we see a presentation of the major features of the Scout Program in pageant or tableau form. The Troop forms in a large half circle, and sets up a number of signs. These read: Signaling, First Aid, Oath and Law, Indian Craft, Camping, Cooking, Map Making, etc. Two Scouts are assigned to each subject, and they put on a demonstration of their particular subject. The signaling team, send a message; the first aid team apply bandages, the Oath and Law detail consists of one Scout standing m the position of the Scout Sign; the Indian Craft team are in Indian costume, one beating a tom-tom, the other making the friction fire; camping is shown by the setting up of a background of evergreen branches and the pitching of a pup tent and building a fire; cooking is similar to camping; and the map makers have a plane table on a tripod and are taking a sight.
At a whistle signal the activity stops and everybody "freezes" into a striking half-circle tableau. In the midst of the silence, the Oath and Law Scout repeats in a clear voice the Scout Oath and Law. This lends itself to a variety of subjects as may be desired.
