To Parents The Boy Scouts of America have lowered the entrance age for its three programs of Scout ing, effective September 1, 1949. After that date boys may become Cub Scouts at eight years; Boy Scouts, at eleven years; and Sen ior Scouts (Explorers), at four teen y^ears. This decision was reached after three years of careful study by the National Executive Board who obtained the opinions of many experienced leaders as well as parents. It is hoped that all of the par ents in the mill will keep the Scouting program in mind, and that when their boys reach the Scout age, or if some are already of age and are not participating in the Scout program, send them to the Scout meetings each Thursday nig ht in the Caromount Scout Cabin at 7:30 p.m. Give them this chance to join in the fun and other benefits derived from the ranks of Scouting. We are hoping to see lots of our boys coming out to join the troop to take advantage of this training soon. Parents encourage your sons to take advantage of this training program for boys. Scoutingly yours. Troop 113 Perry English, Warping Dept Reports AT.siks Smitlifield Mrs. Pauline Reams spent a re cent weekend visiting Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Batchelor and Will Sutton.
