Plans Outlined
All Scout Troops
in County Cooperate

Scout troops Of all county
communities will participate in
the annual Scout-O- Rama pa
geant of scouting to be staged at
Mount Clemens High School
Friday, April Fl, it was an
nounced this week by District
Council officials Ralph Bennett,
Martin c.. Schwartz and Jerry
Servo, who are in charge Of
plans.
The Scout O. Rama has all the
aspects of a three-ring circus,
and most of the entertainment
value. 1t is vivid and inter-
esting demonstration of Scout
handicrafts, camping technique,
drills, games, physical training,
and stunts.
Basic purpose OF the Scout-O-
Rama is not to make money, al
though a small admission is
charged. 1t is doubly designed to
give Boy Scouts an opportunity
for public use of the arts and
trades they have learned by
long and patient study, and
also to reveal to the public the
healthful, constructive and pa
triotic nature of the scouting
program. These purposes are
paramount, and every parent
with boys in scouting is being
urged to attend to lend moral
support to their ideals, and all
adults interested in youth gen.
orally are invited to witness the
show.
