Troop One Had Weiner Roast

First troop enjoyed a weiner roast
Friday evening which was missed by
some OF the members who failed to
get to meeting on time. Evidently
1t would pay the members of this
roop to keep themselves posted as
TO what the troop is doing in order
10 be in on the good things. Satur-
uay afternoon "a number of members
of the troop will take advantage Of an
opportunity to learn something about
map making under the direction Of
Mr.. Bean from the office of p. b..
Jelfries. Mr.. Jeffries recently offer
cd the services Of either himself or
Mr.. Bean in order that the scouts
may perfect themselves in the art of
map making, and each troop will take
advantage of the opportunity in turn.
Perhaps before long we will be able
TO boast a number of civil engineers
as a result Of the valuable instruction
given by these men.

Troop Two. Noah Cisco, scoutmast-

and Is now in good standing with
that body. Recently the scout eX-

the effect that the boys OF this troop
we're about ready TO quit scouting
unless arrangements were made for
more active leadership. Mr.. Cisco,
os scoutmaster, has been unable to
find time to devote to the troop. Jo-
siah Hull has been serving rs assist
ant with fair success but on account
Of heavy school work has been un-
able at times to be with the boys on

good standing depending on some man
to lead, we have no doubt that the
right man nj the right time Will
bc found without trouble. This is one
OF the oldest troops in Ardmore and
has record OF which it Is proud,
and as long as there is an able bod
led man In the city who loves boys
Il should not be allowed to disband.

Christmas Camp Was a Dandy

The scouts who cid not go on the
Christmas camp missed the most en-
joyable event that has yet occurred
in scouting in Ardmore. Only a small
group went, and the plans were
changed at the last minute and Cedar
Falls was visited instead of Camp
Turner. For winter camping there
is no finer place in the country than
the region adjacent to Coal creek,
and the numerous stories regarding
robbers caves, buried treasures, etc.
made that region always enticing to
those who enjoy exploring. Needless
to say two pots of gold' were found
by the Christmas scouts.
