The boys were full of enthusiasm, A; the Troop meeting on Monday May 5th, the boys were give a shor lecture on a Scout's duty i.e. to do a good turn at least once a day. Sev- eral games were played, causing roars of laughter. Just before be- ing dismissed the patrols practised their patrol calls and troop howl. So that if any nervous person hears the wolf howl, it is only Fred Aaron's boys; or if they hear the hawk screeching blame Bob Berrey's gang. But the troop howl is something to" remember especially when Mr Tind- | le and Robinson, join in 2 The Duty Patrol for the week of | May 12th to 17 will be the Hawk Patrol, i We hope to call a Troop Commi®- | tee meeting on May 17th.
