SCOUTS RECEIVE
ACTIVITY AWARDS
Local Council Wishes TO
Form Another Troop
of New Members

After the court of honor Friday
night, when four Red Lodge Boy
Scouts received awards for out
standing work, members of the
local Boy Scout council held con-
ference with George w. Roskie,
Yellowstone council executive, to
consider special problems of the
organization here.
Plans for the consolidation Of
the two Red Lodge scout troops,
and formation of a new troop COM
posed of new (Tenderfoot) scouts,
were discussed. The difficulty in
the plan was said to be the lack
Of a leader for one of the two
troops, as the council is searching
for some man both capable and
willing to organize and direct the
new troop.

istence, to be merged as one unit,
there are q Scouts, several of
whom have been members for two
or three years and are outstand-
ing in the work. Their director at
the present time is Don Cook. On
a list of those who would like to
join the Boy Scouts there are 81
names of boys of Scout age. To
make it possible for them to get
into the organization, formation
of another troop will be necessary.
The council hopes to launch the
new troop as 500 as possible.
One of the scouts appearing be-
fore the honor court Friday night
has attained the highest rank pos
sible for a Scout-that of Eagle
Scout. Reception of a merit badge
for life saving made him eligible
for the rating, and application has
been made, subject to the approx
al of the national council, for his
award.
Others who received merit
badges are: Dick Draper, for
first aid to animals, bird study,
animal industry, wood carving and
wood working; James Leslie, Jr.,
for wood working, animal indus
try, book binding, personal health,
and first aid to animals; Fred
