So that’s our birdhouse story. It was a project that lasted for six months. It is good Scouting all the way through, and it was not hard to organize. We heartily recommend it to others. But remember! The early Scouts get the bird! Start it now, so the houses are up by the end of February. Bluebirds come early and prefer “weathered” houses. You too, can “kill” six birds with one stone.

FUN HALF TROOP TEAMS FACING LINES
CROWS AND CRANES
Equipment: None.
Method: Divide Troop into two teams, lined up, facing each other in center of room or cleared space. Teams 2-3 ft. apart, one called “Crows,” the other “Cranes.” Leader calls out one of these names, rolling “r,” as: “Cr-r-r-rows” or “Cr-r-r-ranes.” All on team named must turn and run to wall or given line in back of them. If a player is tagged by an opponent before reaching wall, he is captured and becomes member of other team. This is kept up until all players are on one side. Leader can add fun by giving occasional false alarms—for example: “Cr-r-r-rabs” or “Cr-r-r-rash.” None may move, any so doing are deemed caught and moved to opposite side.
Scoring: Last player captured wins.
