Scoutmaster John Bandy
Transferred to Georgia
Sergeant John Bandy of ACS,
popular Nome Scoutmaster, who
has done much with Troop 666,
is leaving Nome, having been
transferred to Georgia, upon com
pletion of his tour of duty here,
in about two weeks.
To date, no successor has been
found for Bandy’s post as Scout
master, although he has himself
been searching for one.
The group is composed of about
30 enthusiastic boys, and whoever
takes over should have a chance
to . be oriented before Bandy
leaves, so the program will be
uninterrupted.
Anyone interested in taking
over, or considering this as an
interesting community project,
should contact Mr. Bandy very
soon.
