At meeting Of the Scout Masters ,
Association II was decided 10 adopt
he set Of tests as are listed by the
Philadelphia Council. These sell for
Three cents apiece or twenty-five for
atty cents. Should we attempt 10 print
these they would cost at least three
lines as much. All troops wishing
these booklets may leave orders at
HE ONCE for them. This Will enable
all the scOutmasters TO conduct tests
along the same lines and so have the
tests that a scout from one troop will
Dc practically drilled along the scout
craft work that other troops are and
should a scout be registered by trans
Ter he would not have to be given an
examination 10 find in what class no
vas to be rated.
Monday night. 1890 p. M, a member
Of the draft board called at the Scout
Dfilce and asked that the scouts help in
The parade which escorted the soldiers
10 the train. There were over one hun
ired scouts in line beside the officers.
These scouts made a beautiful showing
and were given the glad hand all along
the line Of march. Good turn tokens
were given for this work.
In all future work for the scouts
each member will be expected TO fur
nish a written request from their par
ents for dismissal from school, 10 is
very important that this be strictly
adhered to If VIC are to expect the CO.
operation OF the school officials.
Scouts who have received their tok-
ems and do not have the proper num-
Der of links may bring these 10 the
office for adjustment. Some blue cards
were not at hand and links were not
given for them. These tokens have
been given to the Troop Commanders.
