Troop 82 By David Stearns i Gathering at the Legion hall meet ing place the scouts like hounds on a trail started out on a treasure hunt. The well laid trail made of grains of corn, scraps of paper, bent bushes, piled stones, twisted grass, blazed trees, and many other Indian signs, wound around town, finally following the creek and end ed at Hoover’s quarry in Eaton’s woods. The trail laid by scouts Calvin Dudgeon and Bob Coon earlier in the day had as a treasure a large box of marshallows hidden under an old dead tree stump. To eagle eyed scout Maynard Pogue goes the honor of locating the treasure. Around a bright council fire the troop made plans for earning money for the summer camping. Each scout of troop 82 has to his credit §2.00 in the camping fund. The funds for the troop are earned largely by collecting scrap paper. The troop will assist the Bluffton Community Sportsmen’s Club Tues day night, April 14 at their annual Rally to be held in the Legion hall. The scouts of this troop will serve the lunch to the sportsmen at the meeting. Funds obtained at the Rally for the sale of food will be deposited in the troop camping fund. As darkness gathered the scouts gathered in a circle and made plans for the next meeting. Around the camp fire all repeated the scout laws in unison, and with cheers for the Coyote Patrol—the winners of the hunt, the boys with the aid of flash lights headed for home. Armorsville The L. A.
