to be present.
Despite the threatening weather OF
last Saturday. several members Of
Troop No. 2. with their Scout Mas
ter. took a weekend camping trip to
Granogue. They managed to get thei'
tents up between storms and had a
very good time. II certainly did rain
Saturday night, but the "outiit' came
through none the worse. One member
of the party was so unfortunate as to
fall overheard from the dock with all
his clothes on. but was dried out in
time to accompany the rest of the
party home. Some of the campers
made the trip both ways from Rock
land by canoe.
A postal has been received from Mr..
Yetter. in charge Of the "hikers' from
Troops Nos "a and z. The boys
reached Washington safely on last
Saturday and expected to remain
there until Tuesday, when the return
Journey was scheduled to start. They
will reach home. according to plans
on next Saturday afternoon. This is
the first long distance hike under
taken by Delaware Scouts and reflects
great credit upon Mr.. Yetter and the
seven Scouts who accompanied him.
Every one in local Scoutdom is anx-
iouslv awaiting the full details of tho
trip upon the return home OF the
young disciples of Daniel Boone.
This summer has surely been the
camping time for the Scouts of the
city. A large number of troops have
conducted camps for one or two
weeks during the last two months. No
accidents have been reported, which
shows carefulness of management
We hope that next year there Will be
greater number of camps among
the Scouts.
Next week several hundred Scouts
will have an opportunity to show
whether their scout training is what
IL is said TO be. Schools open and
the teachers ought to expect assist
ance from the boys in their classes
who are Scouts. Let every Scout
show his training by being ready 70
cooperate in every possible way with
his teachers. No Scout is true Scout
who is not up to standard in his
, lessons and his conduct. Let this
year be a banner one in every respect
and you will be satisfied with the fact
I that you have done your best.
! The Court of Honor will hold a
meeting sometime during the latter
part of September. The exact date
will be given out later Scouts who

tions ought to see that they are
properly filled out.
The regular Scout meetings and
other activities will be resumed in a
number Of troops during the next two
weeks. Let every Scout rally to the
call of his Scout Master. This COM
, ing seasons work will no doubt ex-
eel all other work ever accomplished

lege to have a part in this great work.
