We are now starting to get back into old marching form. As you know, last year we were fairly good and we hope to soon be better than we were. Monday night it looked as tho we never had marched, but after a little practice we were at least able to keep step and turn corners properly. A QUESTION Do you know what a boy must do and learn before he can ever become a scout, that scouting teaches a boy many things which he would no doubt never know and which are valuable to him? Before a boy kan become a first* class scout he -must know more than most people think. We think it would be interesting to publish each week some of the things scouts must learn, so that everyone .may learn just what scouting is. Before becoming a scout, after having taken the tender foot test, the candidate must take this oath: ~ Oath On my honor I will do vif best: - < 1. To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the scout law. 2. To help other peopel at all times. 3. To keep myself physically strong, mfnt$l)y awake and morally straight EXECUTOR'S NOTICE H k Wm.
