HONOR COURT FEB. 10
George Berggreen Will Head
Court Of Honor As
Chairman

Scouting next week-when the Boy
Scouts OF America observe, during
the week Of February to Is, their
9th anniversary and Scouting halls
20 years of work in Sank Centre.
The acceptance of George Berg
green to head the Court of Honor
as chairman, and the announce
ment that John ID. Virgins, Execu-
tive of the Central Minnesota Area,
would appear that evening rounded
out details for the program sub
mitted to Scoutmasters Monday
evening. Date Is definitely set for
the Court for Wednesday evening,
February 10th, in the Junior High
School Auditorium, and it promises
to be a big Scout affair. Court will
convene at 8:15 O'clock.
In the Tenderfoot Investiture
ceremony those in charge announce
one of the most impressive scenes
for those attending the Court OF
Honor. The climax of the program
will be reached with an impressive
candle ceremony. Three lighted tap
ers will represent the three-fold
Oath of Scouting. Twelve candies
will be lighted as twelve Scouts,
about to receive their Tenderfoot
awards, repeat the twelve points Of
the Scout Law. The awarding of
Tenderfoot badges will be made to
about 30 Scouts.
Recognition will be made of the
Girl Scout Troop who have been in
vited to attend the Court of Hon.
or as a body. Notification was made
Monday evening by telephone with
Scoutmaster Chalberg, of Belgrade,
that Belgrade would attempt to at
tend the Court of Honor. Mr.. Chal-
berg announced that he had sever
al Scouts ready for advancement.
Observances will begin on next
Sunday Of Anniversary Week when
Scouts will attend their own
Churches in the charge of a local
assistant Scoutmaster. Since the
community Troop is sponsored by
non-sectarian group, it was thought
wise to urge every Scout to attend
his own Church on Anniversary
Sunday in a group with other men,
Der Scouts.
Monday evening, the 9Th, Scouts
will assemble to hear the nation
wide radio broadcast sponsored by
the National Headquarters Of the
Boy Scouts of America. On this
program the President of the Unit
ed States, Franklin d. Roosevelt,
who holds the office of Honorary
President of the Boy Scouts, will be
heard.
Patrol leaders are completing
this week projects and demonstra-
tons, 1t was announced, and such
projects will be found on exhibit in
the windows of Vandesteeg's Jewel
ry Store and Nelson's Bakery. In
Vandesteeg's an inside exhibit,
featuring individual handicraft
projects, collections, airplane mod
els, will invite the people of Sank
Centre. The exhibit will be display
ed all during next week.
The last day of Anniversary
Week, Saturday, has been set aside
for Troop Anniversary hike.
Scouts will meet at the school in
the afternoon and hike to some out
lying point.
Special invitations to heads of
various civic organizations are now
in their hands, and MIR. Kowalke
urges that all members of those bo-
dies make every effort to attend
the Court of Honor Wednesday ev-
ening. Parents, and other persons
as we'll are also included in the in
vitation. Since it was impossible to
send a personal invitation, leaders
urge everyone to accept a public
invitation.

holm.
