Elected President-Other
-~ Officials

Last Wednesday evening oAS
trict Organization was set up at a
Scouter meeting which was held at
the Masonic Temple in this city.
This District will be known as the
Sank Valley district and will be one
of seven district organizations
which cover the Central Minnesota
area. This is the third of these
District organizations to be per
fected, the other two being dis
tricts which were organized at
meetings held at st. Cloud and
Little Falls. Brainerd and ELK
River are to have meetings direct
ly and the balance of the area will
probably be organized within q
week. This does not interfere in
any way with the area office at st.
Cloud which continue as hereto
fore. Each district organization,
however, might be termed an area
of itself and in this manner Scout
ing problems receive more direct
and immediate attention, so that
these Organizations will facilitate
the handling of Scout matters.
Many questions and matters which
have heretofore required reference
to the st. Cloud office can be taken
care by the district committee. The
greater part of present Scouting
activities in this district are found
here locally and at the present
time Grey Eagle is the only other
point in the district which has q
Scout troop. AS a matter of fact,
Sank Centre is looked upon by the
Regional Scout office as one of the
most active Scouting points in the
Central Minnesota area.
The following officers were Sc
lected for the Sank Valley Dis
trict: -,
G. v. Morse, district chairman
H. G. Rydholm, vice chairman
H. L. Clark, district commits
sioner. T.

Other committees will be added if
necessary. Most of the above COM
mittees need several members each
and these will be added to as the
work progresses. The first activity
of the new organization is expected
to be a leadership training course
which will be conducted for all
Scouters and men who would like
to take it. Scouting needs the at
tention of all men who are willin
give it little time and the move
ment will not increase until there
are sufficient number of men
who will give it active support. It
is on the increase here, however,
but there is room for more helpers
and all those who are willing to
spend an hour week for six
weeks in the leadership training
course are asked to register with
Mr.. Berggreen, chairman of the
committee. This course is both in
teresting and instructive and will
be a great help to the Scout move
ment. It has not been decided
when this course will start, but it
is hoped to have the first meeting
within the next two weeks.
