Scout troop rs accepted the invita-
ton to represent the Central Min
nesta Area by attendance at the
State Fair for the week. SATURDAY.
morning a telegram was received
from the State Fair officials con-
tlrming this selection of Troop Is.
This year nine Scout Troops will
encamp on the grounds during the
State Fair, these nine Troops being
selected from nine Scout Areas in
this Regional District which in
cludes the Dakotas and part of
Montana. That Troop 25 should be
one of the nine Troops out of the
five hundred odd Troops in the
Region bespeaks for a worthwhile
record of accompaniment by the
Sank Centre boys.
This Boy Scout exposition, which
is to be conducted by a Board of
prominent Scout officials selected
by the Regional office, has for
Troops participating and for each
individual boy an excellent educa-
tional and recreational program
for the entire nine days. Each
Troop must provide it's own equip
ment such as shelter, personal
equipment, troop or patrol acces.
series for program and transport
alton to and from the Fair. 1t must
be under the Troop leadership of
the regular registered Scoutmast-
er and all are to be in complete of
fetal uniforms. The Troop must be
on camp site at the Fair Grounds
not later than 600 p. m. Friday,
Sept. 2, and may leave for home on
Sunday, Sept. II. An attractive
camp menu has been worked out
and the complete cost for meals
during the nine days is $3.50. Each
Troop does its own cooking.
The tentative schedule of the
daily program finds the day well
filled from 700 a. m. to 1000 p. m.
with Scout demonstrations, games
and contests, with time designated
for taking in the sights of the Fair
as well as the needed rest periods
for the boys. The troop will have
bleacher seats for the Saturday af-
ternoon, Sept. End program of
automobile races and there will be
other opportunities for taking in
the Fair.
This comprehensive program has
excited the interest of all those
who have seen it and it is a gen.
eral concensus of opinion that this
is an unusual opportunity for the
boys of Troop Is, and that it should
be made available for as many of
the boys as possible. The transpor-
tation and food items, the two to-
falling approximately $3.50 per per-
son, are the principal items of ex-
pense, sum which some of the
boys may be unable to raise be-
tween now and Sept. LIST. It has
been decided that a considerable
amount of this can and should be
raised and that each individual boy
should not be called upon to pay
this full amount. It should not be
passed up and as the president Of
one of the Civic organizations said
Monday, 1--WE must raise this
money if our organization has to
go out and raise it themselves.
It does look like rather a large
proposition to the boys at this
time, but the spirit shown in the
above quotation has carried many
a more difficult proposition to a
successful close. Now is the time
however, for every local citizen
who is interested in Scouting to
lend whatever support he or she
can to this effort. One local organ
ization has already expressed
themselves as favoring the giving
of sufficient amount to send one
boy on the trip and today one of
the substantial citizens stated that
they Islands for either he or she)
were anxious to defray the ex-
penses of one boy. A strong appeal
is made for others who feel like
wise to make their feelings known,
for a sufficient sum not only can
be raised but it must be raised.
Aside from the advances in Scout
ing which each boy will obtain, it
is freely conceded that the educa-
tional results will be well worth
while.
Any local citizen, who is willing
to help by contributing $3.50, which
is enough to send one boy and pay
for his rations, will help substantial
ly in reaching the goal. If there are
others who are willing to give a
less amount, however small, such
