Scout drive in Mason county for a
three-day period lasting through

troops in Mason county and four

SCOUTERS don't mind getting
up early, Their acquaintance with
adventurous outdoor life and stan-
dards for healthy living fits them
for wide-awake activities.
On hand were several scouts
who gave demonstrations of sev-
eral phases of scouting procedure.
They presented the colors.

marked his scouting oareer, the

received his Eagle's badge this
