1hEs oiLDEIs oSoS
BY Lone Feather, Troop 2S

In my work with Scout troops in
has been brought to my attention
that when the average Scout reach
es the age of sixteen or seventeen,
he feels that he has outgrown the
the idea of mingling with the young
er boys. The fact is that he is just
becoming of real value to Scouting.
If he has made the best of the
opportunities presented by Scouting
and taken its teachings seriously,
he is now in a position to be the hero
and friend of the younger Scouts.
His cleanliness and his Scoutcraft
ability serve as an inspiration to the
younger tenderfoot.
There are numbers of troops Just
organizing. The scoutmaster per-
haps had had little or no Scout ex-
perience. Here is a chance for the
Older Scout to do a good turn by
helping TO instruct the new Scouts
in such troops, and by helping the
scoutmaster with ideas and sugges-
tions.
When he reaches the age of IS
years, there is an assistant scout
masters commission ready for him.
At the age of p he is an experienced
and qualified man for the commits
sion as scodtmaster. A Scout does
not stop when he becomes n scout
master. Scouting is a Worldwide
movement. and there are places for
qualified workers in its ranks.
Many Scouts aspire to wear the
first class pm but their ambition
ceases. The average boy becomes a
first class Scout at the age of four
teen or fifteen. His good times in
Scouting are just beginning. He is
Just learning to enjoy hiking. camp
ing, athletics and inter troop COM
petition in various lines. The pleas
ure and keen enjoyment he finds in
Scouting keeps pace with the educa-
tional training he receives. One of
the aims of Scouting is to make a
clean. loyal citizen of the boy and il
accomplishes this object if the boy

Hush! There's Mystery in
Troop Is Clubroom

After the official meeting last Fri
day night, a special meeting was
called for all those who wished to
take part in the athletics of the
troop. There were fifteen present.
Lester Simmons was elected mana
ger, Ralph McClain. treasurer, and
Norman Boone, captain. No dues
were collected at this meeting, but in
some mysterious manner twenty
cents was brought into the treasury.
The pass word for entering the club
room in Schuylkill and jefferson
streets was taken from the method
in which this money was secured.
All members of the troop are urg-
ed to be present at the next meet
