BOY SCOUTS TO
ENJOY WEEK AT
SPRINGS SITE
The Boy Scout committee held
its final meeting Monday evening
before the boys of Troop 666 of
Nome go to their last camp for
the summer at Pilgrim Springs.
We wish to thank the Catholic
mission for this splendid oppor
tunity. The last minufe details
were worked out and final in
structions will be issued to the
boys at tonight’s meeting.
All parents are invited to this
meeting and any questions will
then be answered concerning
safety and welfare of the boys.
The trip will be made by rail to
within six miles of the Springs
and from there by foot.
A full week’s schedule has been
prepared. This includes classes in
first aid, swimming and life sav
ing, as well as campcrft, hndi
craft), and what not to put in a
mulligan stew. Fishing by no
means will take a back seat, and
all boys are urged to bring some
kind of fishing equipment. After
a full day of such stimulating
fun and plenty of good food, in
cluding lots of fresh vegetables,
I think we might be able to
squeeze in a movie or so and
then polish off the day with a
I
custom known to Scours and
' Scouters the world over—a camp
fire, a song or two, the Scoutmas
ter’s benediction, and finally taps
and lights out. Then to bed and
to thoughts of a better day ahead.
—(Scoutmaster C. E. Stone).
