completely revivited because OF inter-

movement in the community.
The whole membership is now at
work outlining plans, teaching the
youngsters and doing actual scout duty
themselves because of this interest.
The post has furnished three scout.
masters. The post sponsors all troops
in the community regardless of the
fact that it has troops of its own.
According to a serpcy made of posts
of the Legion, sponsorship of the boy
scout movement has been one of the
particular community activities. Re

Gated that in some way the Legion men
are at work in aid of this movement,
not to encourage miltaristic tcnden-

more self-rcliant race.
In some posts, this movement is par
ticularly post affair. with certain
regulations imposed on the lads re-
gardins membership in the sponsored
scout units. These require that the
boys be blood relatives of eX-servlce
men. Other posts have adopted II troop
