Traditionally the district is held in Manti or Gunnison. According to Chris Parry of Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete District Boy Scout Chairman, 19 of the districts 120 scouting units were represented. "Participation was not as good as it could have been," Parry said, "but it was successful, very successful." The key to the success of the event was "super activities and athletic events which have not been offered before," Parry explained. Indeed scouts and adults could be seen dangling from the repelling demonstration or the "zip line", terror in their eyes. But when it was over they unanimously agreed, "it was fun." The repelling was part of a mountaineering skills demonstration organized by a Manti troop and involving a cable connected to two trees high above the ground. The "zip line" a sky ride which began from a platform, was compliments of an Ephraim troop. Nearby, Mt. Pleasant Troop 501 constructed their own tower, y a pioneering project utilizing scouting skills. But the fun didnt all take place above ground. Exhibits also included: a rocket launch, by Mt. Pleasant Troop 503 Blazers; flint and steel fire starting by Ned Ericksons Moroni scouts; by Ephraim scouts; sandpainting by Gunnison Scouts; and "Peak to Peak" the art of mirror signaling which is used to communicate from one end of the county or state to the other. There was also a tepee, constructed by a Manti Scouting unit and a nature booth. The Districts Timberline Youth Training Unit gave the flag ceremony and a in demonstration pioneering which a bridge which could span a stream was constructed in two minutes. a is The .annual Scout-A-Ra- ma for all Scouting ages: Cubs, Blazers, Scouts, Varsity and Explorers. Awards are given to Scouts attending in full uniform and for those participating in booths. This is Scouting on display," Parry said. "We show everything we have done, the best that we can." Parry was assisted by Susan Larsen of Mt. Pleasant.

It looked like the Badgers were headed for another loss to the league leading Wolverines when they gave up seven runs in the fourth inning. But the Badgers came back to score nine unanswered runs for the 7 win. "I was really proud of the team," Andersen said. "They showed a lot of class in the way they came back and played hard for the win." The fourth inning could have been worse for the Badgers. Utah Valley had the bases loaded when Snow College stopped the bleeding. "I know we have had a hard time winning consistently," said Anderson. "I wouldnt trade this team for any other in the league though. They are a great group of young men and I enjoy the chance to coach them." 9-- Fountain Green Hazel Bailey attended graduation exercises for grandson Ernest Bailey at Brigham Young University April 23.
