Model Scout Gets Trip
The Third National Boy Scout
Jamboree will be held near Santa
Ana, California at Irvine Ranch,
July 17 to 23rd.
The Caromount Athletic Asso
ciation, sponsors of Scout Troop
113, have elected to send one
boy from this troop. When the
Troop Committee and the Scout
master received the good news
that the CAA wanted one of their
scouts to join in this “chance of
a lifetime,” decided to select the
model scout by picking the boy
who showed the most leadership
ability prior to and during the
Camporee held in Tarboro two
months ago.
Selecting the beit leader proved
to be quite a job. After careful
ly weighing the abilities of each
scout, Phillip Bone, son of Mrs.
Ethel Bone of the Caromount
Weaving Dispatch Office, was
chosen.
Phillip is to leave Rocky Mount
with the other Scouts of the Coun
cil Troop by train on July 5th.
They will join hundreds of other
scouts from all over the South
at Atlanta■> and there they will
make up an entire chartered train
of Scouts for the trip.
Boys Sent To Camp
As a consolation prize, Ronald
Smith, who was runnerup in the
contest held to choose the scout
for the Jamboree, is being sent
along with Ronnie Hay to a
Junior Leader Training Camp at
Mendham, N. J. by the Caro
mount Athletic Association, spon
sors of Scout Troop 113.
This camp is a two weeks
course from July 5-17th for the
purpose of training Scouts in
leadership and skills so that they
may assist in training others in
their troop when they return.
This is the famous Schiff Res
ervation where all the Profession
al Scout Executives are trained.
An exciting series of exper
iences leading to increased skill
in scout Craft and leadership is
the framework upon which the
program is built. Outdoor skills
will be learned by practice and
this will be taught to the other
scouts back home.
The program is rounded out
with rifle marksmanship, swim
ming, fishing, boating, canoeing
and archery.
The Training Camp Staff is a
team of Scouting experts under
the personal supervision of Na
tional Headquarters.
