CHAPTER IV – COUPS AND DEGREES WOODCRAFT EXPLOITS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The Woodcraft League is organized on the idea that boys and girls who are interested in outdoor Ufe and in active living will continue along these lines as they grow older. Many of the Coups are such as to be within the reaph of Woodcraft Boys and Girls but the Degrees will in many cases be available only for the older members of the League. Woodcraft Exploits and Degrees are standard. They include work for both sexes, though each sex will find it desirable to select the ones most fitted to it. In many cases, however, both boys and girls may select the same Exploit or Degree. In fact, we believe that a sharing of many experiences would help greatly in solving some of the problems which we are facing at the present time. Exploits are indicated, by the wearing of the Coup or Grand Coup Badge each for a single exploit as listed. Achievement is indicated by the wearing of the Degree Badge for general proficiency in any one of the various Degrees in Woodcraft.

Exploits

The Exploits are intended to distinguish those who are first class in any department, and those who are so good that they may be considered in the record-making class. The French word " coup "* has been used by the Woodcraft Movement for i6years. No one can coimt both Coup and Grand Coup, or get a second similar badge in the same department except for heroism, mountain climbing, and others that are specified as "repeaters," in which each badge is added to that previously worn. No badges are conferred unless the exploit has been properly witnessed or proven, and approved by a careful conunittee. When it is a question of time under one minute, only stop watches are allowed. Badges, once fairly won, can never be lost for subsequent failure to reach the standard. Except when otherwise stated, the exploits are meant for all ages. •Pronounced "Coo."
