SCOUTS DADS
TO hike WITH
BOYS SATURDAY
Fathers and Sons Will Make
Tramp to Campfire and
Food Cooked by Youths.

Boy scouts viii have an opportunity
OF showing their fathers what they have
learned in the line Of observations Sat-
urday, when the Dad Scout hike will be
taken to the scene Of huge camp fire
around which the scouts will gather
and prepare q meal for their fathers.
The day will be closed with a talk on
the pioneer days OF Montana by Judge
u: L. Galway. The hike will be start
ed from Marony park at 3 p. M. and
the scouts and as many of the fathers
who will be able to make the hike with
their sons will start the hike under the
direction OF the scout leaders who will
receive sealed directions at the start
ing point and will also find other
directions concealed in various places
on the line Of hike. The destination
will be announced later.
To Show Scout Work.
A great deal of enthusiasm has been
manifested by the scouts and they are
anxiously awaiting the chance to show
their fathers how far they have ad-
vAnced in the pursuit Of scout work
and are sure that their sires will be
given some very pleasant surprises
A supply Of wood has been gathered
for the giant camp fire but scouts will
be compelled to gather their own wood
for the individual fires used in the
preparations Of meals for the guests.
viii Play Baseball.
A couple of baseball games are in
prospect for the period following the
meal and these will probably be inter-
troop contests and it is likely that a
game will also be played between the
scouts and the dads. Some of the
troops are making plans to stay over
night and the majority of them intend
to take tents with them, but others
scout fashion if the weather permits.
The return trip will be made by the
hikers in time for church attendance
Sunday morning.
