Boy Scouts.

Troop No. of the city of Pembina,
Boy scouts of America, was organized
Tuesday evening in connection with the
Methodist Sunday school. The scout
movement has spread into 81 different
countries, starting from England, and
has absorbed or supplanted many of the
leading organizations of che boys which
have been working in these countries.
In this country, where it has been
organized little over year, there are
100000 boys enrolled, and the local
scout masters certificate is numbered
1913.
At the meeting of the Advisory
Council this week, of which Pres. Taft
is Honorary president, plans we're to be
completed for the AUGMENTATION of
the movement, which had been model
led very largely after the English. This
council is composed of leading profess
sional men, financiers, philanthropists,
preachers and writer's who are interested
in boys and in the national life of
tomorrow. Mr.. Ernest Thompson
Seton, Chief Scout, is now in England
lecturing on the movement.
Troops may be organized in connec.
ton with any society or organization
which contains boys of twelve to eigh-
teen, as scoutcraft interferes with no
other movement. The boys are to be
taught peace scouting, woodcraft. out
door sports and activities, and through
these the principles of strong and use
full manhood. Rev. Homer H. Moore is
the local scoutmaster, the troop con
sisting of two pa rolls of six to eight
boys each.
