Field Meet when is to be held Octo- /
Der 20. Get right TO work on theevents 4
which you are TO enter in so that .
this will be interesting. There Will be |
Scout officials from Baltimore, Wash I
ingtOn and Richmond TO judge the
contests. That signaling event marked
on the program has four members on
the team, two principals and two for
reader and writer. II there is any of
these which you do not entirely I'M
derstand ask about them.
On two occasions there has been
flfe, drum and bugle corps started I'm
this city. On two occasions these have
failed. Now there is a grand opportun-
ity TO have a corps that will be a
credit TO the city. An expert leader has
offered to take any number OF SCOUTS,
preferably four from each troop or
more II possible, and drill them one or
two nights q week until they arc eX-
pert enough TO come across with the
goods. After marching TO the music Of
the improvlsed drum corps on Me-
mortal Day you scouts know the need
OF such an organization. A meeting
Will be held for those interested Sat
urday afternoon, 230. Now, fellows,
show what you are made Of and make
this meeting worth while.
The ONCE wants reports for the sum-
mer months from those troops who
have not sent them in. Report the
standing OF your scouts, show the
number OF Tenderfooi, Second Glass
and First Glass Scouts along with the
troop activity which you carried out
during the summer.
Scrlbes are requested 10 make their
weekly reports brief and TO the point
because Of space required for other
news.
Don't forget to drop down on Mar
ket street and see the cups displayed
in the Reynolds Candy Co. store WIN
dows for the big Field Meet. Pick out
the one which you want and get to
work.
Several Scouts have been noticed
wearing L. s. Army hat bands, but
tons and other army equipment. The
scout equipment Is enough to supply
anything we need I'm our ewn style,
30 let us not use something that be-
longs to another organization. IL Is
neither lawful nor in good taste.
Our Scout Leaders are showing their
true spirit Of patriotic service In the
number OF volunteers already enlisted
Uncle sam Is fortunate in securing
some Of our finest Scout officials anc
though we hate TO lose them from
Scouting, we are proud Of these mel
who are so keeping the Scout Oatf
by doing their duty TO God and theil
country. Those enlisted thus far are

Troop No. IS had another very goo
meeting last Friday evening. We go
started on our interpatrol contest an
all the members seemed TO be niue
enthused with our prospects Of get
ting the prizes offered. Keen's patrC
got the best start but they had bel
ter keep their eye on Parris's buncf
as they are very hard losers. II 20
are not doing all you can to help you
patrol leaders as we'll as yourself, 70
had better get on the job. Junior pc
troll leader, Swcczey, put the 30,
through some very good signaling w
are all looking forward to our ann
versary on Friday night, October ]
which time we expect TO have all
our parents and friends with us; ais
our scout executive, Mr.. Greenhaw
promises to be with us.
