Troop 80
By David Stearns

Gathering at the Legion hall meet
ing place the scouts like hounds on
trail started out on a treasure
hunt. The we'll laid trail made of
grains of corn, scraps of paper,
bent bushes, piled stones, twisted
grass, blazed trees, and many other
Indian signs, wound around town,
finally following the creek and end
ed at Hoover's quarry in Eaton's
woods.
The trail laid by scouts Calvin
Dudgeon and Bob Coon earlier in
the day had as treasure a large
box of marshallows hidden under an
old dead tree stump. To eagle eyed
scout Maynard Pogue goes the honor
of locating the treasure.
Around a bright council fire the
troop made plans for earning money
for the summer camping. Each
scout of troop 80 has to his credit
$500 in the camping fund. The
funds for the troop are earned
largely by collecting scrap paper.
The troop will assist the Bluffton
Community Sportsmen's Club Tues
day night, April Ia at their annual
Rally to be held in the Legion hall.
The scouts of this troop will serve
the lunch to the sportsmen at the
meeting. Funds obtained at the
Rally for the sale of food will be
deposited in the troop camping fund.
AS darkness gathered the scouts
gathered in a circle and made plans
for the next meeting. Around the
camp fire all repeated the scout laws
in unison, and with cheers for the
Coyote PatroI-the winners of the
hunt, the boys with the aid of flash
lights headed for home.
