Trip TO Tuckahoe.
On invitation OF AdJutant-GeneraI
and Mrs. w. w. Sale. the Richmond
Scouts arc planning a trip to Tuckahoe,
the beautiful colonial Randolph estate,
which gardens and shrubbcry are sec.
ond only to those Of Mt. Vernon. DR..
Douglas s. Freeman. OF the local court.
has promised TO accompany the Scouts
on this trip and tell them something
OF the historic value Of the place. and
snow the boys the little school house
where Thomas Jefferson first went to
school Members of the council, court
and executive committee are needed to

porting the Scouts.
Manager Saunders. of the Virginia
state Fair Association. did not favor
Scout services at the Virginia State
Fair this year. He. however. requested
the use of ten Scouts each day for spe-
cial work. IT has been decided that
from the organization standpoint that
it would not be wise to send only ten
Scouts, because they would not be suf-
ficient to do the movement credit in
way the public expects. hence the de-
cision forbidding Scouts to apply at
the gate for admission; also the request
to each Scout not to appear on the
Fair Grounds in uniform.
