Lads Rise Bright and
Early For a Long Hike


on Saturday afternoon. July eth.
Troop L. took n hike to Clark's Vail
ley. The Scouts assembled at the
Memorial Lutheran Church at three
o'clock with their luggage and
grub" enough to last them over
night.
Led by Assistant Scoutmsster
Haehnlen. the troop rode to Dauphin
and hiked over the country roads to
Clark's Valley. arriving at about six
o'clock.
Through the rest of the afternoon
Assistant Scoutmaster Haehnlen took
few pictures and some of the Scouts
passed the preliminaries to their
second class tests. Supper was cook
ed and by eight everything was
cleaned up. The boys then spent an
hour in swimming and by the time
they were out and dressed it was
quite dark. A few were awakened
at midnight by a ghost" shooting
firecrackers, as every body seemed
to be asleep. Every boy but the
ones who did it were pretty sure it
was Scout Bell but they afterwards
found that he was asleep at the
time and hadn't a thing TO do with
il. About one o'clock in the morning
the moon came up and showed up
the landscape very beautifully. Some
Scouts insisted that Scout "Kewpie"
Medaths clean shaven round head
was a second moon. 1t made a fine
target for any article handy. The
excitement was soon over. and in a
very short time all were fast asleep
once more.
The sun arose bright and early in
the morning, and with it many Scouts
arose also. A few had TO be awaken
ed with cold water. At six o'clock
a. m, breakfast was cooked. and by
eight everything was cleaned up.
Then we hiked home by the way OF
the mountains. Assistant Scout
master Haehnlen acted as trail
maker.
Dauphin was reached in time to
catch a train to Harrisburg. Ar
riving at Harrisburg the Scouts drop
ped off in small groups TO their
homes. Tired? yes, but all had to
admit that they had fine time.

Scout Scribe.
