The new scout headquarters, in rooms
81 and 1872 in the Munsey building,
have been opened. The arrangement Is
similar to that in the Corcoran build
ing. The general reception room and
Office of the two field commissioners is
in room 752, and the Office of the COM
missioner is in room ISL. The same
Office hours will be continued.
The walk right" campaign sched-
uled for yesterday was not held be-
cause of the extremely cold weather.
1t is improbable that the local scouts
will participate in similar campaigns
for the present, owing to the resum-
ing of school work and general winter
activities According to plans being
tentatively made. the scouts will form
q human barrier from the starting
point of the inaugural parade TO the fin
ish on both sides of Pennsylvania ave
nue..
The local scouts are to be reinforced
with detachments from New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Frederick Md,
and other nearby points. 1t is hoped TO
have enough boys on duty while the
parade is passing to have them close
enough together to enable them to
touch hands.
