■g/ -.00 PER YEAR Thin euitur sinceieiy uupm uiat Ashland residents will turn out tor the Engle Scout Court of Honor thia Friday evening. The winning of even one Eagle Scout budge by a troop in an event in the life of uny troop ,but to have three uil ut one tune, and with a fourth only u few months ago, makes the locul troop an out­ standing organization. Scouting is very strong in Ash- lund, und could be even stronger were the trained udult leaders available to take cure of them. The boys are willing but the adults generally are not, und us a result only two troops are main­ tained in the Ashland urea. To those unfamiliar with the scout work, it might be pointed, out that to attain an Eagle Scout rank, a boy must pass through ull the stuges of tenderfoot, second and first class ranks, have two years of service in scouting und have earned u minimum of 21 merit badges. If uny one thinks thut it does not take a lot of work to do that, we ask them to try it. There are very few adult scouters who have had the per- serverunce and patience to win such a runk, ulthought the same rating is available to adult scout leaders. A lot of credit is due, to those heading the scout movement in Ashland ,to Dick Trites, as scout­ master and chairman of the dis­ trict, to Allen Byrd us scoutmast­ er of Tioop 14, and to the troop committeemen of both troops. They give up a lot of evenings and time to help out in the work. A good turn out would certainly be an act of appreciation for then- efforts atyl a vote of confidence in the boys. Let’s go!
