The Advisory Council OF Scout
masters is working on plans for the
Field Meet in April or May. In the
meantime troops are urged TO prac-
tice such activities as are usually
had at these meets.
II should be remembered. that in
teaching Scoutcraft. giving tests and
all Scout activities conducted by the
Scoutmaster are Points OF contact, "
enabling leaders to get over to the
boy the two great objectives of
Scouting, namely;
/. Character building, and
2. Citizenship training through
palship with him.
To cooperate in the Scouts ad-
vancement the Scoutmasters' Asso-
ciation asked the executive commit
tee OF the Council to pass upon a
standardized examination OF the
Local Council for scouts. The Scout
Helps" for Tenderfoot, Second Glass
and First Glass as put out by Ma
tional Headquarters were conse-
quently adopted and are made avail
able for all troops at Headquarters.
This Scout Executive. accompanied
by Deputy Commissioners Quinn and
Williams and Scoutmaster Shorts
visited the Claymont troop OF Scouts,
OF which Mr.. Michener is the Scout
master. The troop has 32 registered,
but on account OF the depression
many families have moved away
from the colony, leaving only Is
scouts in the troop. These evidenc-
ed great interest in the work and
Mr.. Mlchener deserves credit for his
work with them. Mr.. Mcmillan, one
OF the early scouts OF England. was
with them and told them OF Scouting
in and around London thirteen years
ago. He Is a good scout and has
offered his services to the troop.
Many scouts OF this troop attended
Camp Caesar Rodney last year and
declared their intention OF entering
actively in the Spring Field Meet.
The scoutmaster's attention Is
called to the fact that the Troop
meetings should start promptly and
close in time to get boys home not
later than 10 p. m. Especially when
hiking. mothers worry when boys
are not home early.
The Scout Executive had a confer
ence with Rev. f. J. Bohannan, OF
! Easton. Nd. in reference TO the re-
organization OF Scouting in that
town. with the troop under the
wing OF the Community Club, new
/ leaders and revised organization,
there are hopes OF great things in
Scouting for Easton.
