The Aurora Club, which meets in
the Y. NJ H. A. Building, has recent
ly furnished three men to act as
scoutmasters and assistants for the
new troop organized at the Hebrew
Free Institute, Four-and -a-half and
F streets southwest. Albert Silver
will be scoutmaster, and David
Rosenberg and Frank Wool assist
ants.
Two new Hebrew troops are now
in progress of organization, one at
the synagogue at Fourteenth and
Euclid northwest, with William
Rabinovitz as scoutmaster. and one

From December l to the anniver-
sary rally last Saturday 1913 Scouts
qualified for second class rank, so
for first-class, % for life and star,
and for the highest rank of eagle
Scout. This is probably record for
any similar period in the history OF
scouting in Washington. The investi-
ture ceremony at Central High
School, when Gen. Lloyd NJ. Brett
presented eagle and life and star
badges, and Commissioner Barry
Mohun sealed the promotion of the
| first and second class Scouts. was q
most impressive affair, and the larg.
est investiture ever held here. Such
a ceremony will probably become q
regular part of future anniversary
| celebrations.
From Great Britain have come spe-
cial anniversary greetings. They are
sent by Hubert S. Martin, interna-
| tional Scout commissioner. repre-
senting the Boy Scout Association Of
Great Britain. Mr.. Martin writes a:
| follows:

Brother Scouts. On the occasion OF
the 18th birthday OF the Boy Scouts
of America, on February s, l send yoI

tance, we are closely united in th'
| spirit of brotherhood which binds III
| together. The Scout movement ha'
| become a great chain of friendship
stretching round the world, chair
in which you of the great United
States of America form a very i'm
portant link. We shall think espe
cially of you on February 8, and oul
cordial good wishes for your happi
ness and prosperity will be waited
across the seas
