very interesting information was re-

The Scout leader made schedule
for kboo games Many of the other
Scouts have not heard of game call
ed kboo. Though the name sounds
funny it takes great skill to success
fully trim good opponent. The board
is divided into two parts, each side
being allowed six holes and "a men.
Some take the pussy-willow or Jobs
tears for men, while others prefer
beans or nuts On each end Is hole
where the captured men are kept. The
men begin to move in one straight
line. The first moves do not count
much, but after playing for while
it gets exciting Kboo is the special
game of Troop VIII. and was taught
to the Scouts by their Scoutmaster,
Mr.. Bryan, on their first camping trip.
The Kboo board was very much in
evidence on Friday evening and sew
eral hard-fought games were played.
But this was more in the way OF get
ting the boys in trim for the tourna-
ment, which is to begin next Friday.
