BOY SCOUTS QUALIFY.
Local Troop Numbers 81 Members
WIN 60 in Camp During Summer.

A special meeting of the Westmins-
ter Council, Boy Scouts of America
was held at the Westminster High
School on Wednesday evening, May
9Th
1t Is to be regretted that several
members of the Court of Honor and
also of the Local Council were absent
from town or unable to attend, as the
meeting was a particularly interest
ing one.
The troop now numbers 81 mem
bers, twenty of whom have passed
the examination and were ready to
qualify for the first or what il known
as the tender foot degree.
A more manly, promising set Of
boys would be hard to find, and West
minister may feel proud of its first
troop, known in Scout circles, as
Westminster Troop /, Boy Scouts Of
America.
Each boy gave the Scout sign as
his name was called and recited the
Scout pledge-"On my honor, l will
do my best:
4. 10 do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout law.
2. To help other people at all
times.
8. TO keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight"
The Scout Master, DIR. FOrlines.
gave a very impressive, earnest talk
on the aim and object of the Scout
movement impressing on them the
twelve points of Boy Scout law, that
they must be trustworthy, loyal, help
full, friendly, courteous, kind, obe-
dent, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean,
reverent.
The troop has not as yet purchased
it's uniforms. which the boys procure
with money earned by themselves, but
they have been given their badges,
and we feel sure they will wear
them with honor and credit.
The following boys qualified: T.. iii.
Livingstone, r. H. Bohn, Charles
Cassell, Robert Dinst, Daniel F. Ship
Keefer, F. +. Herring, Weaver Clayton,
James Swaringen, %. III. Stoner,
Witter, Eltinge Reifsnider, H. Donald
Fowble.
DR.. Forlines will be absent from
westminster uHIll LH6 AISI u July.
During his absence the troop will be-
in charge Of his two able assistants,
Messrs. Augustus Shriver and Latimer
Elderdice, who will take them on
hikes" into the country and assist
them in preparing for their next ex-
animation. During the summer, after
the return OF Scout Master Forlines,
they hope to go into camp for few
days The boys have started out to
be good and useful citizens and to
help in every way they can, and it is
up to " to encourage and help them
i'm every way, and we can aid very
materially by becoming contributing
members and helping to finance one
or the best and most useful organiza-
tions, for by helping them we are al
SO helping ourselves.
