Of Formation Of New
Troops Will be Made at Ses-
sion to be Held Next
Week.
coUT REQUIREMENTS
New Recruits VIII Have to Pass Ton
derfoot Stage to be Real Scouts
Boys Register at the
Y. M. c. A.

A mass meeting of all Boy Scouts
will be held at the Y. NJ. c. A. some
time during the forepart of next
week. At this meeting announce
ment will be made of the new troops
formed and the boys assigned to each
troop. In the meantime all recruits
should be studying the requirements
of the tenderfoot test in order that
they may be examined as soon as
the troops are formed. boy who
has made application to become
scout is really not a scout until after
he has passed his tenderfoot test and
he is not permitted to wear the scout
uniform until after he has passed this
test.
The requirements of the tender
foot degree are for the purpose OF
giving the newly elected scout
clear idea of the movement which he
is joining The first requirem ents
for the tenderfoot is that he know
the scout law, sign, salute and the
significance of the badge. The
second requirement is that he know
the history and composition of the
national flag and the customary
forms of respect due 1t.
The third requirement is that he
be able to tie certain required knots
with piece of rope. Instruction in
knot tieing will be given by the
scoutmaster. Details of these re-
quirements are given in the official
scout handbook This book will be
on sale at the booksellers in this
city within the next few days. How
ever, 1t is not absolutely necessary
that a boy secure one, it Is to his
advantage to have one because it
will give him chance to advance
more rapidly in scouting. Thorough
instruction will be given by scout
masters In all required tests.
Chance For Service.
The Boy Scouts had chance to
the community, yesterday 1t was
reported at headquarters that child
was lost in the vicinity of Third and
Concert streets. Word was sent inn
TO the patrol leaders in the
present organized troops and they in
turn notified the members of their
patrol. In a very few minutes all
the available boys in these troops
COulQ nave responded 10 LHe call ana
assisted In the search. However, the
child was found before the boys had
time to arrive on the scela and only
che or two OF the boys who lived in
that particular neighborhood were
able to lend assistance The scouts
are anxious for just such opportuni-
ties as this in order to prove their
usefulness to the community.
Scouts Register.
Not all the members of troops /,
2 and 8 have registered at scout
headquarters as requested. 1t is very
important that a complete record of
all scouts be had at headquarters by
this evening to facilitate the work
of organizing new troops. All scouts
who have not signed the regular
form application blank, are requested
to heed this notice and if impossible
to report sometime this evening to
report early Saturday morning The
new troops will be based upon nat
ural associations and age.

The women of Vermont have recent

men having even one dollar could by
reporting 1t for taxation, pay a few
cents tax and so vote under the law.
