SCOUTMASTERS FORM
 CLUB AT GATHERING

A scoutmaster's club for all men interested in Boy Scout work was formed at the r. NJ. C. A. last night. Several local men who are interested in boys were present and plans were formulated for the inauguration of a vigorous campaign for the movement in this city. There are already five troops of scouts in the district and dozens of boys are anxious to get into the scouting but the difficulty has been lack of men to lead the work. Now that the war is over scouting should take on increased interest for all and at the next meeting which will be Thursday night at 7:30 it is hoped a great many men will be present who are sufficiently interested to become scoutmasters. No previous experience is necessary as the work is easy to learn and immensely interesting as we'll as beneficial to both the boys and their leaders. Young men be- tween the ages of IS and 21 can also be of value as assistant scoutmasters
