Letters
She's the Scoutmaster
Thank you for "Learning From Each
Other" in the November-December is-
sue. David Archbold and his family have
shown real grit and resilience in triumphing
over his misfortune, and all of our Scouts and
Scouters who have worked with them have
shared the benefits of that challenge ...
One small correction: my wife, Terry In-
graham, is the Scoutmaster of Troop 1, one
of the first female Scoutmasters in Califor-
nia. In the two photos on page 39 she is in-
correctly identified as David's mother, Eileen
Carman. (The male Scouter shown in one
photo is Assistant Scoutmaster Steve Hei-
mans.)...

Heimlich hand placement incorrect
"Getting Ready for Readyman" in the No-
vember-December issue contained an error.
In describing the Heimlich maneuver, refer-
ence is made to placing the hand in the prop-
er spot "below the navel." The American
Red Cross recommends placing the hands
just above the navel and well below the
lower tip of the breastbone.
Marsha C. Lovick
Webelos Den Leader, Pack 63
Kinston, N.C.
You are correct. The error was made in edit-
ing the article, and Webelos Scouts at the
First-Aid-O-Ree were taught, as described in
the Webelos Scout Book, that the proper
positioning for hands while administering
the Heimlich maneuver to a choking victim
is "just above his belly button."
If you have a question or comment about what you read in
Scouting magazine or about something related to Scouting in
general, we'd like to hear from you. Write to us at: Scouting
magazine, 1325 W. Walnut Hill Ln., P.O. Box 152079, Irving,

Scouting rfc March-April 1994
Flag ceremony was political occasion
A recent issue of Business Week carried a
photo of Boy Scouts conducting a flag cere-
mony at an anti-NAFTA rally. The question
this raises is: should Scouts conduct flag cer-
emonies at politically-oriented events, there-
by appearing to lend their support to a par-
ticular issue or candidate?...
In addition, who should decide where or
when a troop can participate in a ceremony out-
side the normal venue of Scouting activities?
Henry A. Saalwaechter
Committee member, Troop 3
Modesto, Calif.
It is the policy of the Boy Scovits of America
not to involve the Scouting movement in any
question of a political character. (Neither the
National Council nor the local council were
aware that BSA members were involved in
the anti-NAFTA rally in question.)
Any questions regarding a troop's partici-
pation in a ceremony outside the normal
venue of Scouting should be directed to your
local council service ceriter.
Conservation patch questions
I agree with Den Leader Roger L. Williams
who suggested in the October 1993 Scouting
that the World Conservation Award be made
a permanent patch. And because it is recog-
nition for conservation projects within the
scope of World Scouting, I believe the patch
should be worn above the left hand pocket,
in lieu of the World Crest patch.
Would you clarify the rule for earning the
award? The application says "this award can
only be earned once." Has that been modified
so it must be re-earned each year to continue
to wear the patch? This would encourage
boys who earned it earlier to remain involved
in conservation activities and projects.
Charles Deierlein
Cubmaster, Pack 131+
Mohegan Lake, N. Y.
The Cub Scout committee's uniform and in-
signia project team, on advice of the Inter-
national Division, continues to recommend
that the emblem be worn on the right pocket
as a temporary patch, with the space over the
left pocket reserved for the World Crest. In
Cub Scouting, a boy earns the conservation
award only once, either as a Wolf, Bear, or
Webelos Scout, but can wear it on the right
pocket throughout his tenure no matter when
it was earned. In Boy Scouting the award
also may only be earned once. ■
