Scouting in these hyar parts is
in for a busy two weeks, with
both Scouts and Scouters having
plenty to keep them occupied. Just
look at this schedule outside of
regular Troop Meetings and Ac
tivities :
November 2, Monthly Meeting Hal
ifax Scouter’s Club.
November 4, Board of Review,
Halifax District.
November 6-7, Jamboree, all Hali
fax District Scouts.
November 10, Meeting of Halifax
District Committee.
November 11, Court of Honor.
—o—
All Roanoke Rapids Troops went
in for Halloween festivities in
a big way, and all proved the
ability of Scouts to plan activi
ties and work out their own prob
lems in an effective manner.
Practically all of these events were
planned and carried out by the
boys themselves with a minimum
of adult supervision.
—o—
Troop 144 started out on what
most of the Scouts thought to be
a “blindfold hike;” however said
hike wound up at the Troop Cabin
with a perfectly swell party that
was voted the best ever.
Tommy Jenkins Troop 145 boys
planned a Hallowe’en Program
that proved a surprise even to
Tommy. The youngsters really did
themselves proud.
—o—
And, Man, oh Man, all of us are
going to have to drop down to
Patterson Mill Park, and see what
this big affair of Troop 146 is
going to be like. It’s tonight, and
the Scouts say it isn’t free, dog
gone-it. The whole Troop has been
working like beavers for several
weeks. They have entertainment,
fun, and stunts galore. The outfit
extends a cordial invitation to ev
eryone to come on down for more
fun than you ever imagined pos
sible.
—o—
Cub Pack 3 pulled a really
swell party last Saturday evening
in the recreation room of All
Saints’ Episcopal Church, with
Cub-Master Lin Schaaf and Den
Chiefs Billy Atkinson and Doc
Murphrey leading the younger fel
lows in a fine program of games
and entertainments, too.
—o—
Troop 142 is hard at work on
another dramatic radio program.
Their last effort was so well re
ceived that the boys begin to
feel like professionals. Their last
prog-am was exceptional, we
thought.
—O—
Scouts of Troop 144 have or
ganized a “Scrap Patrol” under
the leadership of Billy Atkinson.
Object: to get in as much scrap
for Uncle Sam as is humanly pos
sible. The patrol has a number of
S"rell ideas for Scrap collection.
If you’d like a call from this wide
awake bunch, just telephone
R-814-6 and we’ll send ’em right
Camping Chairman Clyde Liske
says that one look at the Jambor
ee Plans convinces him that its
going to be one of the best activi
ty events ever staged in this area.
'T'bere will be plenty to test the
Scouting ability of every patrol
participating.
—o—
Incidentally, Clyde and Howard
Rothrock, our Health and Safety
Chairman, plan to get out into
the tall timber some time during
the next few days for the purpose
of locating a permanent site for
week end and overnight camping
for Halifax Boy Scouts. Trans
portation facilities are going to
keep us all pretty well within
hiking distance next year.
—o—•
Lin Schaaf reports another Den
Of ^ack 3 in the process of form
ation. The new group lives in
the vicinity of Rosemary Mill.
Pretty soon our Cub Membership |
will be crowding our older Scout
membership. The Cubbing pro
gram begins at age nine and con
tinues through eleven. It is home
centered, with mother and dad
playing a most important role.
—o—
The ranks of Scouting are well
represented in the First Aid In
structor’s Course being given this
week at the High School by the
American Red Cross. Among
those present we noticed Will
Mincher, Tommy Jenkins, Organi
zation Chairman Frank Sherry,
and naturally, our Advancement
Chairman Shearod Crumpler. We
heard Shearod adding another
member to the Advancement Com
mittee and Board of Review in the
person of Don Tillar. Don’s a
swell fellow, is vitally interested
in American Boyhood, and is go
ing to make a real addition to our
ranks. Welcome to Scouting, Don.
—o—
It is well for all Scouts to
pause a moment each day and
give a serious thought to things
that lead us all along the High
Road of Achievement. Speaking
of high roads, here’s a thought we
might all remember in closing this
column for another week:
“I will follow the upward road to
day
I will keep my face to the light,
I will think high thoughts as I
go my way,
I will do what I know is right.
I will look for the flowers by the
side of the road,
I will laugh and love and be
strong,
I will try to lighten another’s load
This day as I fare along.”
