intermediate Scout Troop No. 13
began their 1958-59 season with a i
meeting at the home of Mrs. Morris
Rosker, their new assistant Lead
err. Mrs Rosker has always been
quite active in the troop, but had
not accepted leadership before this
year.
The Leader of the Troop is Mrs.
ly regarded by the girls and re-
membered for her responsive activi-
ties with the girls as their Assist
ant Leader in 1956-57.
After learning that there was
to be a Halloween Parade" this
year in Milford, plans were made
to work on 'TFloat" and enter the
parade Little aid not girls dream
when "Spook Troop No. 13" was
created that they would take End
prize, which was ten dollars. /
would like to say atNthis time that
the idea of the cemetery scene was
a group idea OF the girls and car
ried out by Mrs. Denny and Mrs.
Rosker.
We surely were proud of our
Troop and Leaders. This gives them
the incentive to think about next
years parade, since 1t has been an
nounced that there will be one.
We wish to thank Col. Westphal
for the use OF his truck also
to thank the drivers of the truck,
Mr.. William Denny and Mr.. Morris
Rosker.
On Saturday, November is, the
Troop enjoyed the fun of an out
door "Cook-out". The girls met at
the Lakeview Avenue School at
10 a. m. Fyom there they rode their
bicycles to "Camp-We-Love-Itr.
They were accompanied on bicycles
by Mrs. Rosker and Mrs. jones'.
their Camping and Outdoor Chair
man.
Although the Troop was not
fully attended, the girls had lots of
fun. cooking their hot dogs. eating
baked beans, munching potato
chips and finishing of e;ssh milk
and "somrores" They returned to
the school around p. m.
Mrs. Denny and Mrs. Rosker are
now planning indoor activities
which will be of interest to the
girls as well as constructive to the
Troop. These next few months are
the longest and hardest on the
Leaders because interest has to be
maintained with no outdoor activi-
ties to break the monotony.
Thank you very much, Leaders,
for your efforts.
