Troop 4 during the war years,
like nearly everything else, was hit
pretty hard. The Armed Forces
took one new leader after another
until it seemed the old outfit would
have to close shop. Then former
Scoutmaster, who had resigned that
position to become Scout Commits
sioner, came to its aid.
That man was Wilson P. Sperrow,
one of the best known figures in
Scouting in this area. In the years
that followed it was a constant
struggle to keep the Troop on its
feet, really too much so for one man

To date there have been swim-fests,
sound films on wildlife and nature
lore, business and advancement
meetings, and most important of all
from the Scouts standpoint, hikes
and camping trips.
At one time an appropriate spot
for a camping grounds provided a
problem, but no more. Troop 4 is
now the proud possessor of some five
hundred acres of private hiking and
camping woodland. The area, "An-
tietam Meadows" by name, is the
property of Mr. John Bear, one of
the Troops many new-found friends.
And Troop is not one to take light
ly such good fortune. Already two
all-day camp-hikes have been
taken and the seasons first over
night trip is planned for today,
weather permitting.
The most recent field trip was held
last Saturday and seventeen Scouts
and Scouters needed its call A
regular campsite was erected, which
enabled many of the newer Scouts
to pass such requirements as fire
building, cooking, knife and axe
craft, and general companionship
The outing proved a good indocrina-
ton for many of the boys to whom
the camping aspect was new, so by
the time the Council Camping sea-
son rolls around, Troop expects to
be well prepared.
