Scout Notes.
oeeIcrAI. PAPER OF the CITY.

Friday July e3rd, the usual weekly
meeting was postponed on account OF
the inability of Scoutmaster A. 81
Hoare to be present.
Sunday July 25th we hiked west
along the railroad tracks passing up
through the Agricultural School
grounds where we witnessed the cows
being fed and MIXED. From there we
preceded to the junction of Lovers
Lane and Plank Road. Then we
divided into two parties and played
game of scouting which ended in a
draw in the woods south of the
Tuberculosis Sanitarium, following
the road from that point to the new
paved road opposite the Home for
Dependent children and from there
home.
Sunday next our Milwaukee contin-
gent will attempt to pass our lines.
All scouts are requested to make an
effort to be present to take part in
same.
We still have room for a few more
scouts. Parents with boys who can
live mp to and obey the scout oath and
scout law can make application for
their sons enrolment by writing
Scoutmaster A. S. Hoare, 346 Church.
Street, Wauwatosa, or Phone Wau.
313-x.
The scouts were recognized officially
by city authorities by the city marshall
calling up the scoutmaster, informing
him that child was lost. Only the
fact that the call came too late for the
child had been found, prevented us
from doing good turn as body to
the community.
Parents! What keeps your boy from
joining us? Is he under age or could
mt he obey the scout law? Let us
give him trial.
