BOY SCOUT NEWS Last Friday’s Scrap collection brought in a really worthwhile poundage report from all troops participating. Troops 142, 146, 145 and 144 all turned in reports of more than a thousand pounds, while one or two turned in a record of a ton or more, with an additional collection to come this Friday. Nice going, gang; stay in there and pitch. This past Tuesday afternoon, we went out with Camping Chairman Don Tillar to inspect progress be ing made out at the new District Camp site. The spring has been enclosed in a concrete casing, and as soon as final sanitary tests are completed — well, fellows, we can start in on some swell camping ac tivities. Incidentally, we plan to hold the district Camporee out there this coming April or May. A camporee committee will be appointed this coming week to work out all de tails. The regular Council Campor ee Emblems will be awarded to all qualifying patrols. And, just a word to the wise: one of those events is pretty likely to be Fire by Friction this year. Also part of the program will include the hike to camp and return with full equipment. This means that em phasis this time will be on camp ing skills and camping ability. Recommendations: study your handbooks pretty carefully. Also get hold of the Camping Merit Badge Pamphlet. w ( Let’s all turn out 100% for the i Victory Book Drive this Saturday. Every section of the city must be ] covered. So, make your plans not : to miss a single home in your area. All books collected will be carried to the Roanoke Rapids Public Li brary on Jackson Street. Each troop participating will receive the Victory Book Campaign Sticker to add to their Victory Service Chart. Cover the areas as allotted in pre vious campaigns. —O— i Out Sunday afternoon with Scout- 1 master W. H. Mincher on a trial hike to the new campsite. It isn’t a bad hike at all. It took us two and a half hours out there, and about the same back. Mincher found a swell cedar walking stick. And who should we meet out at the site but S. M. Tommy Jenkins, of 145, with two of his Scouts. They had come up the river on the oth er side, crossed over by boat, and located the place all by themselves. A right good woodsman, is Tommy . . . but his dog doesn’t love him. The purp followed us home instead. —o— A nice Board of Review last Wed nesday evening, Scouts. It’s great to see such an active bunch going out after the things that really count. Our heartiest congratulations to Eagle Scout Bill Pruden on his ac ceptance by the Army Air Corps. The Air Corps is getting one swell guy, and we’re confident that Bill will make a record that we’ll all be proud of. Let’s get going on that Air Scout program now.
