And anyway , I knew he could hold a track longer than I could . He got the pathfinder 's badge for one of the best tracking stunts that was ever done up at Temple Camp and he 's done enough tracking stunts to win it two or three times over . He 's a fiend on tracking . By now I knew that the fellows would all be coming down to the boat club landing to work on the houseboat , because we had it fixed that they would all be there by nine o'clock . I was n't going to flunk on that , you can bet , but I thought if I told them about the footprint they 'd let Westy and me off for a little while , because if a scout is after a merit badge he can usually get leave all right . Anyway , that 's the way it is in our troop . And all the fellows knew I had the tracking bee , all right .
