At meeting at the City Hall Mon
day night Of the parents Of the Boy
Scouts it was decided to change the
name Of the club to the Boy Scouts
Parents club instead of Boy Scouts
Mothers club, taking both fathers
and mothers.
Considering the weather there was
a good crowd and all enthusiastic of
making this club success. Scout
master Shaugnessy gave his reason
for the getting together of all the
boys parents in one good group to
help create interest in the boys for
the better things of life and keeping
him busy with these good things, he
will have no time for practices that
are liable to lead him into trouble.
He told Of how this organized crowd
would get the father and son closer
to one another and make life more
pleasant for both and read from the
manual or scouts hand book many
important things necessary to learn
in order to be a scout.
