Troop 1, Falls Church,. III. Parmelee.
ScOutmRster.

Fails Church Troop. No. !, which was
organized November Is, with eighteen
members, now has twenty-nine M M
bers and four patrols. The patrol lead
ers are John Cousins. William keilE,
Herman Evans and Eugene Bryan. Tne

Kemp and H. =. Noble. George Cousins

Deputy Scout Commissioner Taylor

meeting January 10, and administered
the signaling test for second class

already taken their compass test, sew
eral have brought their bank deposit
books to the scoutmaster for lnspec-
ton, while number have almost
reached the point of preparedness for
the first aid test. The outdoor tests
will be taken up as soon as the wealth
err permits.
Falls Church as community has
taken a very deep interest in the estab-
lishment and progress OF the new
troop. Two of the three members of the
local troop committee are on the school
board of the town. thus assuring the
heartiest cooperation between the
school and the scout authorities: The
third member of the committee is well
known for his church and civic inter-
ests AT a recent meeting the Village
Improvement Society of Falls Church,
composed of more than 200 citizens,
voted formal expression of its interest
in the Boy Scout movement, and di-
rected the officers of the society to CO.
operate with the troop officials in every
possible way.
The Women's Civic League of Falls
Church has also shown hearty approval
of the Boy Scout movement. and the
school committee of the league on New
Year day presented the troop with a
bea utiful American flag. Individual
friends of the movement have given the
troop a troop flag, and have recently
offered prizes to the three members of
the troops who first complete their sec
ond-class tests.
