Tins

Modge Podge (or 170ml white glue to 1/3 cup water

Brushes

Old comic books or print superhero images

Scissors

 Cut your comic book into the panels that you want to use and lay them out on the can to plan the look you want.   Once you have all the panels planned for the look you want,  use the Mod Podge to glue the comic panels down onto the can or container.  The metal can we used had ridges so we were careful to take the time to smooth the comic book paper carefully onto the can.  Once you have the entire can or container covered with comic book panels be sure to seal all the paper with a top coat of Mod Podge.  Since the comic book paper is so delicate, you’ll want to make sure you seal it down well.  Allow the can to dry 20-30 minutes.  You have a cool comic book can that’s perfect for storing toys, pens and pencils or really cool action figures.

Story of a Good Turn - How boy scouts got to America

Story
The History of the Boy Scouts of America
 The Story of a Good Turn
Taken from the Boy Scout Handbook

 One day in 1909 in London, England, an American visitor, William D. Boyce, lost his way in a dense fog. He stopped under a street lamp and tried to figure out where he was. A boy approached him and asked if he could be of help.
"You certainly can," said Boyce. He told the boy that he wanted to find a certain business office in the center of the city.
"I'll take you there," said the boy.
When they got to the destination, Mr. Boyce reached into his pocket for a tip. But the boy stopped him.
"No thank you, sir. I am a Scout. I won't take anything for helping."
"A Scout? And what might that be?" asked Boyce.
The boy told the American about himself and his brother Scouts. Boyce became very interested. After finishing his errand, he had the boy take him to the British Scouting office.
At the office, Boyce met Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the famous British general who had founded the Scouting movement in Great Britain. Boyce was so impressed with what he learned that he decided to bring Scouting home with him.
On February 8, 1910, Boyce and a group of outstanding leaders founded the Boy Scouts of America. From that day forth, Scouts have celebrated February 8 as the birthday of Scouting in the United States.
What happened to the boy who helped Mr. Boyce find his way in the fog? No one knows. He had neither asked for money nor given his name, but he will never be forgotten. His Good Turn helped bring the Scouting movement to our country.
In the British Scout Training Center at Gilwell Park, England, Scouts from the United States erected a statue of an American buffalo in honor of this unknown Scout. One Good Turn to one man became a Good Turn to millions of American boys. Such is the power of a Good Turn.
