Scoutcraft 47 axe given the ImN4iege of using for a limited period an imprint of the official badge as an indication that the Committee on? Equipment is willing to recommend the use of that particular article. The official badge is fully protected by the U.S. Patent Laws and any one using it without expressed authority from National Headquarters is subject to prosecution at law. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in the selection of the material used in making coats, breeches, and shirts. The material used in the boy scout coat, breeches, and shirt has been submitted to a thirty-day sun test, the acid and strength test and is guaranteed to be a fast color and durable. To show the resttit of the selection made, the manufacturer of these articles ha? been given the privilege of using the imprint of the official seal and the right to use the official buttons. We rec- ommend the purchase of the articles having this imprint through any local dealer or through National Headquarters. However, where a local council exists, buttons will be supplied on order of the Executive Committee for use on such uniforms as the Committee may desire to have made locally. In com- munities where no local coundl has been formed, they may be supplied on order of a registered scout master. Prices of the buttons 'per set for coat is ?5 cents and per set for shirt ?o cents. Every effort is made to have all parts of the uniform and equipment available to scouts through local dealers. If such arrangements have not been made in a community, the National Headquarters will be glad to help in making such an arrangement. Many scout masters prefer to order unifOrmS and other supplies direct from National Headquarters. In order to cover the expense involved in handling these supplies, the manufacturers have agreed to allow National Headquarters the same trade discount allowed to local dealers. Trade through National Headquarters if suffidently large will help to meet a part of the current expenses of the National Organiza- tion. Any combination desired may be made from this List. A fairly complete equipment may be secured at the very nominal sum of $?.x5. For instance, the Summer equipment which consists of: Hat, .5 cents; Shirt, 75 cents; Shorts? 50 cents; Belt, 40 cents. Where it is desired to equip the members of ?he troop with a standard uniform the following equipment is suggested__: Hat, Shirt, Coat, Breeches or Knickerbockers?t?y? or Stockings, Shoes, Haversack.
