BOY SCOUT
ACTIVITIES

This space has been set aside by
the Herald for the Boy Scouts. It
Is the purpose of this space to
bring the Scouts each week news,
and other items of interest, and
to give to all interested in Scouting
perhaps better idea of what the
Boy Scouts of Sank Centre are do
ing and of their various activities.
The main event last week was
the bean feed put on by the Ro-
tary Club. The Scouts attacked the
bean commissary with plenty of
vigor and enthusiasm but the bean
pans were too much for them and
when the Scouts had been subdued
there were still plenty of beans left
in reserve. The weiner section
didn't hold out so well and was
soon cleaned out by the Scout at
tack. Some of the Scouts showed
remarkable capacity. Jimmy Scott s
style, however, was greatly cramp-
ed due to the fact that he was fore
ed to work under the constant eagle
eye of his dad who kept close check
on the hot dogs Jimmy put away.
The movies shown by Mr.. Wig
gins were very interesting. The
fact that seventy nations were rep
resented at the Jamboree in Hun
gary gives us vivid picture Of
the world wide scope of Scouting.
The presidents radio program
was well attended by local Scouts.
Saturday the local Scouts called
at every home in the city explain
ing to the house wives President
Roosevelt's request for surplus
clothing and household goods to be
collected for the needy. On the
day set for collection the Scouts
will again call and collect the arti-
cles which will be distributed by
the proper agencies. This is a most
worthy cause and the fact that
President Roosevelt has asked the
Boy Scouts to help carry out this
program is distinct honor, and
shows clearly the high regard the
president has for the Boy Scouts.
The Scouts report that they were
well received at all the homes and
from all indications a good supply
of clothing and other supplies will
be collected.
Plans are under way for a Scout
Jamboree with Osakis some time
the latter part of March. Another
event which is looked forward to-,
both by Scouts and others is the
Court of Honor which will be put
on the middle of March. The
Scouts are busy getting ready for
the event. A very large attendance
is expected.
Troop Twenty-Five
Troop IS distributed all their bills
last Saturday in As minutes. This
shows both good planning and
good work.
Scouts meeting Thursday evening
at the Armory at 1880.
So that all may understand the
time schedule for the Scout meet
ings it may be well to explain that
the meetings are always dismissed
early enough so that all Scouts can
get home by 900 o'clock. ~E
The following Scouts had pre-
pared an interesting program for
the Bean Feed night. Robert Mark
son, Jim Scott, Chester Otto, Ora
ham Morgan, Ed Dickhous, and
Vernon Weeks. However, due to
lack of time their demonstration
had to be omitted. .s,7-s..'

night. Do not forget.
