DeLeon registered a troop last
week which is sponsored by the
Business Men’s Community Club.
R. L. Scott is Chairman of the
troop committee, assisted by Elmer
Howard Boulter and F. T. Daniel.
J. T. Edmondson is scoutmaster.
Charter members of the troop are:
Robert Cook, Carroll Howard, El-
don Boulter, Walter Egbert, How-
ard Bibby, Clarence Howard, M. B.
Nelson, James Doyle Barton, and
three Scouts transferring from the
Lone Scouts to the troop. They are
James Edmondson, Stanley Ware,
and Buster Whittle.
The Ranger District Committee
which is headed by J. E. Meroney
as chairman and George Arm-
strong- newly appointed district
commissioner, went to Colony Wed-
nesday of last week in answer to
a call from that consolidated school
district to organize a Scout troop.
Messrs Cookey and Lee, superin-
tendent and principal, respectively
will have charge of the troop. Mr.
Meroney states that about 16 boys
are interested in joining.
Commissioner Armstrong states
that the Morton Valley community
is also interested in the organiza-
tion of a Scout troop and request-
ed the Ranger pfficials to make this
contact within the next few days.
The office is in receipt of a let-
ter from an old-timer in scouting,
Professor F. M. Wood of Carbon,
who for about five years had a very
successful Scout troop in Carbon.
A number of boyp once Scouts in
his troop are now holding respon-
sible positions over the country.
Mr. Wood states that the boys of
Carbon have persuaded him to take
up the Scout work again and he
wanted the necessary papers to do
so.
A new troop sponsored by the
Bangs pbblic school system was
registered last week with Arthur
Maberry, superintendent of the
schools, as chairman of the troop
committee, assisted by C. B. Guy-
er, and Rev. J. D. Smoot. Fred
Eby Jr., coach for the Bangs high
school, is scoutmaster. The follow
ing boys are charter members of
the troop; Walter Allison, E. J.

’ey, A. D. Byrd, Richard Farmer,

Scoutmasters of the Brownwood
district had a mqst successful
Scoutmaster’s pow wow Monday
night, Oct.‘ 16, at the Scout cabin
on the Lucas pecan farm. The
meeting started with a fish fry.
Fish being furnished by Leroy Cos-
ton, caught out of the new Brown-
wood lake. One of the main fea-
tures of the program was a talk
delivered by Cub. Ragsdale, an old
time scouter and with possibly the
longest scoutmaster’s record in the
Council territory, and is at present
a troop committeeman of troop 1
in Brownwood. Mr. Ragsdale’s sub-
ject was, “What’s the Matter,
Scoutmaster?” which was in part
—no scoutmaster can expect his
troop to make advancement and
grow in membership and have a
continued interest unless he holds
regular troop meetings. No Scout-
master can expect the Scout# to
come time afteT time to a troop
meeting where the Scouting pro-
gram is not being put on and where
the Scoutmaster may be missing
every other meeting. Others who
appeared on the program were H.
L. Stewart, chairman of the camp-
ing committee, 0. E. Wlnbrinner,
chairman of the povr-wow, and G.
N. Quirl, Scout executive. A vote
of thanks wag given to the pro-
gram committee. Assistant Scout-
master Cliff Pounce^ and Gaitha
Browning. The next meeting will
be held with Scoutmasters and
troop committeemen attending the
third Monday night In November.
