sture is required at meals. In addition to this there is
a 'general personal' standard (embracing neatness at meals and courtesy,
etc.). Boys coming up to the standard are initiated into the order and
receive the emblem--the bronze eagle button. Boys who reach an especially
high standard receive the silver eagle. Boys reaching this higher degree
may compete for the golden eagle, the highest camp honor. To obtain this
it is necessary for a boy to swim a hundred yards, do the high dive (about
12 feet), be able to row well and paddle a canoe skillfully, recognize and
name twenty-five trees, and pass a practical examination in other nature
work and in practical camping and woodcraft, and answer questions in
physical training and care of the body along lines covered in camp-fire
talks."
