A Good Way to Ornament Your Staff
From Baden-Powell, What Scouts Can Do: More Yarns, 1921

"Lots of men brought home with them from the Front the staves they had used on service. We had a show of staves at the Jamboree. It was in two classes, one section to display staves that had been on active service, with the history of what they had gone through. The other section was to show staves ornamented by Scouts; the best of which got prizes. All of the staves were returned afterwards to the owners, and I think they made a jolly interesting collection."
