Gossip of Interest to the Boy Scouts
SCOUTMASTERS TO
HAVE CLUB AGAIN
Leaders in Movement Promise
Season of Activity for the
General Good.

The Scoutmasters Club of Washington
is to be revived.
This was decided upon at a meeting
held in the office of Commissioner z.
s, Martin in the District building a few
days ago, when a number of leading
scoutmasters were present, including C.
y. Filkins, of Troop No. 43. president
of the old club, which was allowed to
relapse early in the present year.
Not only will the club be revived but
Mr.. Filkins, DR.. W. H. Leonard. and
a score of other prominent scout offl-
cials give assurances that it will adopt
a program that will mean an activity
and efficiency among the local boys that
hitherto has not been eQualed in any
city in this country. The next meeting
of scout masters will be held some time
early next month, and the date will be
announced in these columns.
Lecture on Local Topics.
The present plan is to have meet
ing of all the scoutmasters ot the city
every month, the chief feature of which
will be lecture on Washington and
its environs. One lecture and possibly
more, will be devoted to the topography
OF the District and the neighboring
counties of Virginia and Maryland An
other will deal with local geology, an
other with the trees common to this
part of the country, and still another
to native birds and wild animals.
At least one entire evening will be
given over to a lecture and discussion
concerning points of histories interest
around the Capital, and these subjects
will be but a beginning of what may
be done. 10 widen the knowledge of
scoutmasters and scouts impartially.
I'VE are particularly fortunate in
Washington In having an unusually in
teljgent- and efficient corps of scout
masters" said DR.. Leonard. but many
of them have agreed that it will be
wise to make the range of knowledge
possibility of the scouts becoming one
sided
General knowledge the Object.
For example, one scoutmaster may
have a most comprehensive knowledge
cf astronomy or geology, but nay know
little Of trees or birds. Another may be
a naturalist of national reputation, but
Of limited knowledge of historic Wash
ington. The club members think that
to have each man give the others the
benefit, of his special knowledge and
training, and to have this knowledge
disseminated among all the Boy Scouts
of the city will prove a fine thing for
ell concerned"
Many of the lectures will be given by
members of the Merit Badge Faculty."
just organized comprising some of the
most noted scientists in the Govern
ment service. The scheme was unani-
mously Endorsed by the scoutmasters
present at the recent meeting, and at
The next session program commit
tee will probably be appointed to ar
range the first series of lectures.

To the Scout Editor:
The scouts of Troop No. 81 were.
greatly disappointed because the rain
kept them from taking part in the first
mass hike. Eight of our boys planned a
hike to Alexandria last week, but again
the rain prevented, although they went
as far as Fort Myer and Arlington and
spent the day there, cooking their
lunch near the cemetery.
We are ready for the big hike to
Bladensburg this week and our scout
master expects a big attendance there.

their attraction carries, because when

more funny men than any attraction
