Troop IA is certainly showing the

others, Percy Glibben, Earl Heath,
, Second Class now. and two more,
Charles Sherman and George Beall,
will pass their Second Glass during

c rules of orders to the scouts and thu
p meeting was conducted on business
principles. 1t was >the first time th'
. scouts had tried this method OF pro
cedure for their business session, so
5 great deal Of fun was had by the diff
i ferent members speaking out Of order
o and consequently being asked to tak'
r their seats by tho chairman of tn,
I meeting and the other members
1t had been planned to have sevcra
games and stories and instruction in
l cluded in the meeting but 1t was
thought more important to elect an
! other patrol leader: after much ballot
ing Scout Marion Flemming was
elected leader of the Eagle Patrol. Ed
: ward Toddhuntcr had previously beer
elected leader OF the Stag patrol. Then
scouts present into the two different
patrols.
The first plan tried was TO allow the
two patrol leaders to select their mem
in tho air. to SEQ which leader would
get first choice, Edward Todhuntcr
received frst choice.
After all scouts had been chosen. II
, was decided by tho Eagles that the
Stag patrol had all the larger scouts
and they would have advantage of the
Eagles who werc smaller In stature,
Ono or two other plans were sug-
Scstcd. but all were ruled out and
finally a plan was hit upon which
scoutmaster asked all those present
. who desired to be members of the Stag
patrol to stand, and Then all who de-
! sired to be members OF the Eagle patrol
to stand. and all scouts were allowed
I to choose their own patrol.
/ In this manner every scout received
an assignment with the exception of
one new boy who visited tho troop for
tho first time. IT was decided that any
troop during the coming week, that
, could influence tho new member to
! join its patrol, would get this scout
for their patrol
