SIGNALLING FOR SECOND CLASS

Patrol Leaders when teaching Second Class Signalling should remember that it is harder to read a message than to send one therefore when teaching a Tenderfoot signalling send him some messages before you let him send you some. Have small doses at first . Always start signalling in the correct way. that is by the calling up sign. V.E.. V.E., and finish up with A.R. Call letters by proper names such as i A Ack; B, Beer; E, Eddy; D, Don; V. | Vic; etc., etc. Also bear in mind that there is no speed in Second Class Signalling and that it is advisable to sig- ! na! small words first. AN AUSTRALIAN CUB GAME This is an Australian cub circle game, | played with two tennis balls. One cub I is in the centre of the circle, holding one ball. His objective is to throw his ball to someone who will drop it. ; The other ball is started around the circle, thrown to each alternate player. The cub in the centre may throw his . ball to whom he wishes. Usually he throws to the boy about to receive the < ircling ball. If one of the balls is ' dropped, the two boys change places. There should be an odd number of cubs lin the circle.
