Troop 30 took a grand hike during
the THANKSGIVING holidays. They with
their Scoutmaster, Capt. Ernest r..
Holz. went to West, Chester TO visit
the scouts Of that city. The scouts
report a very successful hike and
speak well Of the entertainment ten
dered them by their brother scouts.
During the first OF the week Park
Commissioner Z. r. Mack and Scout
Executive Greenhawk went over the
proposed trail for the scouts, leading
10 a site for a cabin TO be erected by
The scouts for winter hikes and week
and trips. This hike took them over
some very pretty country and quite a
ryavs from the city limits. The location
decided upon was more favorable than
me one first selected and will be des-
rribed to the scouts and scoutmasters
later. Such a camp Is needed and should
ne close enough to the city so as TO be
readily available at all times for troops
r,ho wish TO make use Of the cabin.
Wuminoton should have about four
such cabins located in the suburbs for
Inc scouts In other cities these are
nrovided by private parties for the use
of the scouts and no doubt would or
could be arranged for here II the scouts
put It UP 10 some Of their friends.
Troop 70 sent a box Of presents FOR
the soldiers Of Fl. Dupont, through the
Red Cross. for Christmas. These scouts
worked hard on the packing Of these
piesents and had much fun in making
them Up.
Troops are not responding as they
should in the contest for the bis pic
ture. Only one troop has come over
with any photos OF scout stunts for
slides. What Is the matter with YOU
fellows7 Are you going TO give the
Impression that you are not interested
These pictures for slides Will be shown
at all the troops II we are able to gel
them. Il will be less interesting II we
have TO get pictures from other towns
showing these activities.
The story now running in the "Boy''
Life" called the 'Wolf PATROL presents
many problems which are bound e
come up in scout work in every troop
The best advantage Of this story ma,
be had by having the scouimaster reaC
it at the meetings and discuss the prob
lens as they are presented TO Don.
one troop which is using this has thu
boys read all stories except the on
mentioned and places them on thel
honor not TO read this one outside
troop headquarters. Try it out.
Il is now an accepted fact that Z
scout official is liable TO drop In on
troop at any moment. The Executive
visited several troops last week ver!
unexpectedly. He found them all a
hard work and was very much delight
ed with the general appearance. Keel
I'D the good work.
We still have several sets Of scou
posters for those troops who may wisl

toes for the same purpose are available
