Evening journal., 1915-10-28

AS usual the Wilmington Scouts
delivered the goods in attending the
celebration at New Castle on Mon
day evening. There we're 1S7 Scouts
and II officers in the parade Our
newly organized field music led the
parade and made a wonderful show
ing The credit is due Mr.. Parker,
who is taking such an interest in this
phase Of the work. We congratulate
New Castle in having such a fine
Scout organization and wish them
al kinds Of success.
The Field Music will meet regu-
larly at the Y. NJ c. A. on Wednesday
evenings from 7.30 to $50 o'clock. At
the opening meeting of the Organiza-
lion, held last Thursday evening,
there were twenty Scouts present. AT
first there was lots Of noise, but
gradually it developed into real
harmony due to the efforts OF Mr..
Parker, the leader. The Wilmington
Scouts ought to be proud that they
have a man like Mr. Parker among
its officers. If the Scouts tend to
business we will have a Field Music
second to none in the country. All
Scouts who play either bugles OF
drums are invited to join this or
ganization.
Another evidence that Wilmington
Scouts are awake and on the job is
shown by the fact that % Scouts ap-
piled for 139 Merit Badges at the
meeting of the Court of Honor last
Friday evening held in the Y. NJ c. A
Building. AS can be imagined, the
Court Of Honor had its hands full In
granting these applications The fol
lowing Scouts made application a
