NIVCA SsC0AsAhsA
I Last week was anniversary
week for the Roy Scouts OF
America. also for Troop No. |,
Mansfield. Seven years ago, on
February $, 1910. the Scout
movement was first. incorporated
| in the United States. From this
/ small beginning the Scout move.
ment has grown to wonderfnl
size. On June Is, 1916, the Con.
gress of the United States grant
ed a Federal charter to the Boy
Scouts of America, which, ts'.
gether with existing laws, gives
, protection TO the Scout name and
/ ideals. This movement is hav.
/ ing wonderful success in making
better boys and better citizens,
and is sweeping thru the whole
coonirp. Every Scout is regis.
rered at national headquarters
and is given q membership Ger
,ificatc. TIE records containing
his name aud rank are filed III
! lire. proof cases i'll fire proof
building. At the present time
! the M nTber Of Scouts on record
is zoo, 600, and it il expected that
they will number 200, 600 or 400.
900 before the end of the present
year. This is tor tie BOY Scouts
in America only. but every
known nation has an organization
| of Boy Scopts and the Scout or
ganization is a world brother
hood that counts it's members by
fhe lhii;ions. letus be proud Of
this wonderful movement and
help it along by doing all the
boosting we can.
On Friday evening all Boy
Scouts jn-Anerica we're asked to
dp a good turn for the commun
ity in which they live. The
Mansfield Roy Scouts gathered
after school Friday evening in
llas public parl, and under the
Ffdffects0h OF tiia Seujhtmaster
they ral5ed thepark and cleaned
the cutters and Il portion Of the
streets. The Scouts wish to eX.
press their appreciation to Mr..
Hitchcock for his kindness in
hauling away the debris. The
Mansfield Scouts are always vii.
ling to clio a good turn for their
community at any time, and are
planning to do a number of such
good turns this year.
, One form OF respect tn the
United States flag is to raise it
at sunrise and to lever it before
sunset. and since the first of the
wear the Scouts have had charge
Of the flag flying over the post
Office building.
The Scouts met at the home
Of the Scoutmaster Thursday
and heard the anniversary mes.
sage Of PRESIDENT Livingstone,
and a, e:l5 p.,n. nll stood at sa-
lutte and gave tee Scout oath. All
the Scouts ia America repeated
the oath at that time. After the
reading of the. message several
Scout songs were sung, a story
was read. and several talks we're
made on Scouting for Mansfield
The next meeting will be
Thursday evening at the school
building.
On account Of having so many
other notes the requirements for
a first class Scout will not be Civ.
Ell until heSt week.
