THE BOY SCOUTS.
TROOP OF MOUNTED BOY SCOUTS.

Mounted Boy Scouts are novelty in
this country. A troop of them has been
organized under the auspices of the Roy
Scouts of America in the Agricultural
High School Of Sparks, Maryland. It
consists of three patrols who have been
enlisted by H. L. Eddy, Scout Commits
sioner of Baltimore. The members are
mostly farmer boys who are accustomed
to rides of Is to 20 miles every day to
and from school, When the idea of form
ing Mounted Boy Scouts was suggested
to them, they took it up eagerly. The
boys are engaging in activities that have
to do chiefly with horses, but they also
are training for merit badges that have
been arranged for boys who work on
farms.

PRIZE TROOP OF SCOUTS IN GRANITE
FALLS, MINI.


The troop of Boy Scouts of America
in Granite Falls, Minnesota, which is
under the direction of Tolley Hartwick,
won a prize recently as the best all
round troop of Minnesota. The boys
are hardy, alert, cheerful fellows, well
versed in scoutcraft. They have camped
out many weeks in summer, have taken
long hikes and most of them are about
to qualify as first-class scouts. They
tramped all the way from Granite Falls
to st. Paul, Minnesota, to attend the
State encampment of Boy Scouts and
then hiked home, making round trip of
400 miles on foot. A splendid showing
has been made in St Paul that aroused
the pride of the citizens of their home
town, who presented them with a canoe
and many other pieces of camp equip
ment. In all their expeditions the boys
were under the careful charge of Scout
Master Hardwick, who proved his knowl-
edge of scoutcraft, because everyone of
the scouts gained in weight despite the
hard work on the march.
