80-89% Not bad, I feel I could’ve done better

6 out of 8! not that bad
I made 70-79% the first time, but the second time I made a 90-100. I think it was interesting to know that in 1949 these things were valued knowledge in a Scout.
i failed 61%
i got 8/8
Now I want to go and learn some of the pictured things. Got 6/8
I still read some or my old scouts books.one thing I love to see is how to make a tent, however we had to use cotton sheets because there was no Money. the home made tents was nice unless it rain that day. we also cook tin can. We all enjoyed it.
Interesting that so many questions were about field orientation and mapping skills. Today there are GPS devices and scouts often overlook these important skills.
One of the many reasons I joined Scouts in the 50’s was the opportunity to learn things like this! Thanks for the memories!
