Three new grades of Boy Scouts will

scouts.
This was determined upon at the
meeting of the Honor Court held at

ing on Monday night.
These grades will be based upon the
present activity of the Boy Scouts in
stead Of what he has done in the

the Kenosha scout organization.
1t is better to be live, enthusiast
tic tenderfoot than an inactive first

A recognition bar will be given to
scouts making the ratings as follows:
A Satisfactory" scout will receive
red bar; an "Efficient' scout will
receive a blue and red bar; an
Honor" scout will receive a red,
white and blue bar. These bars
are to be given up at the end of the
month unless re-won.

To be below the grade of "Satifac-

ON your post, In wartime, too. Wake
UP at once and get on the Honor Roll.
The first meeting of the Court of
Honor was held Monday night at
scout headquarters The object of this
meeting was to get the court organized
and prepared to hold examinations.
G. N. Tremper was elected president
and Conrad Shearer, clerk of the
court. The court ruled that all scouts
wishing to appear for examination
must file their applications at least one
week prior to the regular meeting of
the court. In the future all first class
applications must be approved by the
Court of Honor before first class
badges are awarded Regular apphca-
tion forms are provided for this pur-
pose and must be fled as above stated.
This means that all scouts who have
not yet been awarded their first class
badges must file an application and
appear before the Court of Honor be-
fore they can receive their badges.
Regular meetings of the court will
be held on the second Wednesday in
each month at 700 O'Clock p. m. This
puts the next regular meeting on Wed
nesday September 18th.
