Troof No. q, had a delightful meet
ing last Wednesday evening About
twelve of the boys we're present, and
we had a fine evening together. The
meeting was opened with the reading
of the scriptures, followed by roll
call The work consisted Of a review
Of the tenderfoot test. After the reg
ular business routine. the time was
spent in playing quoits and other
games, and all seemed TO enjoy the
fun. We had a treat to ice cream
cones, and this was very pleasant to
all We also talked about the big
camp. The scoutmaster encouraged
the scouts that could possibly go ia
do so. as they would miss half of their
life If they did not.
On Saturday, the Sth. all went out
TO Rising Sun and had a fine time in
spite of the warm weather We are
having a great attendance. and all the
boys are in the spirit Of work and
we hope this fall to do more efficient
work than we ever did before.
