TO MEET TOMORROW
MOSCOW, PULLMAN AND COL
FAX COUNCILS TO GATHER
AT PULLMAN SUNDAY.

The Moscow Boy Scout committee
OF seven citizens will meet with the
committee of the other towns of La
tab and Whitman counties at the
Pullman chamber of commerce to-
morrow afternoon Sunday to effect
organization of the Palouse Boy
Scout council. This is the biggest
step forward in work with boys that
this community has yet taken.
Scout Commissioner Hawley reports
an excellent scoutmasters' meeting
Monday night. However, he is anxi-
out that more men who are willing to
devote time to scouting should get in
touch with him or come to the scout
masters meeting next Monday night
at scout headquarters. He can use
at least twenty men at present in
masters and assistants. A scout
masters short course has been start
ed which will train the men for the
work and therefore past experience
is not necessary, although men of
scout training are doubly welcome at
this time to help organize the several
new troops.
Tuesday evening the commissioner
desires to meet with all scouts not
definitely assigned to troop and all
boys who would like to become
scouts, at headquarters. The younger
members of old Troop One who have
not been transferred to another troop
should all be there. Every boy in
Moscow twelve years of age or over
who would like to get into scouting is
invited. The commissioner wants to
see how many troops more it will be
to form and if any group
of boys wants a troop they should
come in body. Scouts assigned to
troops are requested not to come as
they will take up too much room. A
special short snappy program will be
arranged to follow the business meet
ing.
Scoutmaster Lenhard is out again
after his illness and will meet with
troop on Tuesday evening at his
home.
Troop 1, the high school troop, will
their patrols Wednesday
night at headquarters and plan Il
weekend hike High school boys
over fifteen are eligible to this troop
now but later a scout test require
ment may be added
Troop under Scoutmaster Ray
Gavin is rapidly becoming real
scout troop with discipline, snap and
pep. Every member is out to meet
ngs and patrol spirit is already
strong. The other troops will do well
to watch troop a.
Troop is growing both in num- |
0ers and in scouting. Scoutmaster
Church, formerly of Boise scout coun- |
I'll, is giving them a real scout pro- |
gram. Troop meets Friday evenings
n Epworth Hall.
The commissioner wishes to point I
out to prospective scouts and the /
candidates now taking their tender
foot tests that it is but a short time !
until vacation and summer camp and |
hat no boy will be allowed to attend |
scout at least, that is, he
must have paid his national and local
lues for the year and have passed all
lis tenderfoot tests. Patrol leaders
should at least be second class scouts
before June first.
All scouts wishing to purchase uni
'orms or equipment must secure GER
ificate from the commissioner by ap-
ication through their scoutmaster
md if they expect to have equipment
lere by vacation time orders should
,e placed soon. F. A. David & Sons,
Who are authorized representatives
# the Sigmund Eisner Co., official
10Y scout outfitters, will order uni
orms upon presentation of the GER
ificate, but they desire quantity of
riders in order to reduce the freight
harges. Scout handbooks may now
'e had at the book stores.
