JAMBOREE WAS
HUGE SUCCESS
Annual Scout Jamb0ree at
Coliseum Shows What
Scouts Can Do.
HAD A LARGE CROWD

The Kenosha Boy Scouts had the
time of their lives last night when
the annual jamboree of the scouts was
pulled off at the Coliseum. There was
a nice large, appreciative audience too,
that encouraged the fellows to do their
utmost. And the audience had grown
ups in it that were there just to be
brought back in touch with their old
time days when they were "kids" too.
Of course there were mistakes in the
program-the mistakes that the writer
and the reader made when they were
the same age--the jamboree was not
letter perfect in parts-but in that
old time, almost forgotten display Of
pep" it was bowling success.
The lads had plenty of pep and were
there to do their best and they did it.
They made mistakes it is true and
they made the mistakes because there
mas not been enough of the citizens of
Kenosha interested in the scout move
ment TO furnish leaders, but their in
tentions we're good and their "do and
dare" spirit admirable. When the peo-
pie of Kenosha become interested
enough in the welfare of the lads of
the city TO furnish them with good
"paIly' leaders the scout movement
will receive a great impetus. Father
Conway in a little speech last night
appealed for scout leaders-this is an
opportunity for Kenosha men.
The jamboree started off with rush
at eight o'clock with grand entry in
which the fellows headed by the FL
deity Drum and Bugle Corps, marched
in and took the scout oath and pledge
to the American flag. They then held
a crab race, an innovation in games,
which attracted the audience immense
( ly. They had first aid work, physical
drill to music, flash light signalling,
and a flag drill and signalling. Then
they produced fire from piece of wood
by friction, turning a pointed stick in
TO q piece of wood until it caught fire
and IL was very quickly done too. And
the sea scouts gave sailors horn-pipe
and sang a couple Of sea songs. Box
ing bouts were staged, scout handy
with the lasso pulled some original
stunts, with rope. Troop No. Is gave
a little playlet con An Overnight'e
Hike.n Tumblers tumbled and held
relay races. Scouts built bridges and
all in all, it was a fine jamboree.
