Troop II

At Friday nights meeting we had
ten regular scouts present and five
non-regular. Mr. Brown was late
on account OF business, but we had
n fine meeting before he came with
only eight fights. The reason we
had so few was because George Nor
veil was absent. He ought to get n
Job starting strikes. As Mr.. Browns
business keeps him late, and the
days are getting longer. we have
decided TO have meetings at Sis
for the summer, beginning Friday.
April 90. We are going to change
the patrols and have the first and
second class scouts in one patrol
and have the tendcrfeet in the
others, with first class scouts as
patrol leaders. Several scouts are
behind in dues, so next Friday bring
about so cents. Some OF the books,
also are overdue, and tho librarian
wants the money and other scouts
want the books; so bring them too.

came out 10 to in our favor. Al
the players were Johnny on the spot

are also considering organizing an
other team, sort OF Junior team.
Last Sunday our troop, some ID
boys, with Father Depreitere and
scoutmaster Freymuth, went on
hike TO Parthenia. A number OF out
door tests were taken and all had
grand time, coming home on the
800 car.

by the members of the Eagle patrol,

good scouts. The day should give
each one OF us a spiritual impetus.
As 10 the best means OF securing the
strengthening OF the spiritual life,
people differ. We do not dictate.
We trust troop leaders. parents ana
the heads OF religious Institutions
to determine the plan.
If it means the gathering in the
great outdoors with the green
leaves of oaks and olms forming a
canopy overhead, with flowers every.
whore, the hum of bocs I'm tho air
and the birds singing morning an
thems from the tree tops. we are
not alarmed. This is also church
which God created and church in
which boys very often feel at homo.
II is truly a church after ovcry boys
heart regardless OF his creed
II 1t means Sunday school attend
ance or church attendance we feel
that he will receive benefit. Re-
ligious teachings I'm institutions are
such that boys can be greatly
assisted In the development OF Chris
tian character
This much can be said in favor
OF some Sunday hikes In our effort
to ease the minds OF those who
easily become alarmed when they
see worker with boys start off on
n hike. lie may have a very religious
though not necessarily theological
lesson to put across, and he seeks
surroundings best adapted to his
audience. There will be no class Of

jet I'm acting smart or funny. they
are all scouts and must live up TO
the twelfth scout law. II will be an
orderly audience.
a few short rousing hymns, n
short talk by the leader followed by
discussion perhaps a short closing
prayer or benediction and the fell
lows go home better and finer for
this presentation OF manly religion
presented by a man he looks up to
and respects.
This should be the object OF the
Sunday hike and IL IL fails TO realize
that end IL Is not worthy Of the ef-
fort and confidence OF the boys.
a thought should be given by all
adults to the time % lad spends on
Sunday after the church service Of
