We arc planning on organizing a
basketball team at our next meeting !
and We hope you other troops arc
planning on doing the same as we wish
to got games with any other troop
team. You might think that We are
too big to play against the smaller
Scouts. but hcrc's the proposition IN
put before YOU. We'll have two teams.
ono composed OF the bigger fellows and
the other OF the smaller fellows. II
you do no wish 10 play against tho
regular team. you can play tho other.
and II YOU beat th.in, why you count
Il rs a win over Troop 3. n that isn't
a fair proposition. don't know what
IL. This is n good way to get acuuaint-
oil with tho mnmberr OF other troops.
To ny notion il would bc good plan
to form League and have scheduled
games but of course on troop cannot
do this alone. With the cooperation
of tho other troops we ,au proabiy GO
