commissioner for excellence In their
Additional authority In competition
with less active scoutmastsr may be
given them. and Il has bean urged that
they be given places on the Iecal council.
In this event they would be relieved
from the payment Of dues, but would
have authority cQuai to that Of the
other directors In the management Of

EACH SCOUT TROOP
MAY HAVE COUNCIL
Scheme Is Already in Operation
in One Body and Seems To
Be Successful System.

Every Boy Scout troop in the Washing
ton Council may have a troop council to
assist the boys and provide a financial
backing for carrying on the work o; the
organization. This is the proposition
that IS now being considered by Boy
Scout officials here as a means of
Strengthening the standing of each
troop in its community.
Under the new enrolment system in
stituted by the national headquarters
last October, it was provided that eacn
troop SnOuld have an advisory board CT
three citizens of the community. 1t is
now suggested by local headquarters
that this advisory board be made q reg
ular troop council. with an advisory
board of tnIte INT InberS
This scheme is already in operation
in one of the troops of the city, and
Is working well, it is reported, SO that
the success of the scheme in other
troops is not considered wholly problem
stiIal
1t is felt that the institution of troop
councils composed Of citizens interested
lin the troops will provide support for
the individual troops more hearty than
would be gwen by these citizens to Tie
scout movement generally, because OF
the greater individual interest
The fathers and friends of he boys
OF tie individual troops would naturally
take a greater interest in the troop to
which their boys belong than N other
troops of the city. The institution tC
the troop councils will also stimulate
rivalry among the different troops, II is
urged, and arouse greater interest IN
the Boy Scout movement.
