BOY SCOUTS REORGANIZE TROOP s OF CAPE MAY ELECTS OFFICERS AND GENERATES AMBITION FOR GREATER ORGANIZATION. A meeting of Troop 2, Boy Scouts at Cape May, was called by Scoutmaster Clarence Bishop. Thirty^*0 wide awaks ' faced a blinding snowstorm to at1 tend, this meeting. ThM constitutes tbo full legal membership »r one troop, bat the scribe has written to the national headquarters for pcrnassion to carry more , as we anticipate more members joining qs soon as tfiey realize what , scout wjrk means, j Scoutmaster Bishop gave a short, com1 prehensive talk on scours and scouting, i and also outlined plana' if or a cycle patrol, consUtipg of bicycle owners. Never s has such "^progressive spirit been shown - before in Capfe May scout work. Out of the thirty-two members, two boys have s already taken their Second class examination, and only four remain who have r not passed the Tenderfoot It is safe to say that\s soon as the weather will i permit the boya to take their outdoor - work, it will be taken up. The troop will have at least a full patrol of Second I Class scouts. The troop is for the present conducting its meetings in the High s School Building, but as jsoon as it gets on its feet properly measures will be 5 taken to get an adequate headquarters 1 for the private use of the scouts. The troop cordially tbanks the following cit1 izens for coming to the front with valuable assistance — Mr. Chas. Swain, who - will be remembered for presenting the '. troop with a fine set of flags; Mr. Irvin e Eldredge, who gave them the use of the b Washington street hall for drill grounds. Mr. A. R. Hand, who in addition to givr ing the scouts unlimited space in this g. pa-per, has oIbo furnished a count book* for ttie scribe and treasurer. * In recognition of the prompt way in 6 which these men came to the front, the troop will offer them the honor of becoming Scout Citizens. I Committeeman Brunyate made a brief speech on the value of scout work. Committeeman Butler gave a lucid and enr joyable talk on loyalty and duty, which ® was thoroughly enjoyed by the boys.
