Show SCOUT ANNIVERSARY WEEK IS OBSERVED XI Scout Troops Unite A reorganization of the scout troops in the St. George District has been perfected. Five troops have been combined into three. Formerly Former-ly there were four troops in St. George and one in Leeds. Now the organization is according to ward boundary lines in St. George, and the Leeds boys are registered as associate as-sociate members of the West ward troop. Troop committee organization organiza-tion remains unchanged in the South and East wards, but troops three and four have been combined in the West ward. The new troop committee in the West -ward consists of Mathew Eentley, chairman; W. C. Cox, Wayne Gardner, a'Vid W. E. McGee. Frank Cox, former chairman of Troop 3, and his associate Thomas Gardner have been released from active work. Troop 3 is- very grateful grate-ful for the help received from these men. B. Jarvis, Jr., has resigned as scoutmaster of the South ward, but will continue to assist Carl L. Moss, who has been named as the new j scoutmaster. The old officers in the Leeds troop, will continue to assist " Mr. Smith, who will act as supervisory supervis-ory scoutmaster. Scout Leadership Course The men who have been taking the scout leadership course under the extension ex-tension division of the Dixie College have now completed about one third of the work. The class will continue con-tinue until spring. The class meets each Tuesday evening, and new members mem-bers will he admitted at any time. Scout Executives Visit Deputy Regional Executive Oscar A. Kirkham and Council Executive John A. Young visited three communities com-munities in Washington County last week as a part of a tour of the Zion Park Council by these two men. They visited St. George Saturday afternoon, af-ternoon, Hurricane in the early evening even-ing of the same day, and Toquerville Saturday night. They met with the central committees and their associates, associ-ates, explained the organization with Hie duties of the various officials, and gave general inspiration to help carry on the great work of scouting. The visitors expressed great pleasure pleas-ure at the progress of the work m this district. The St. George district is as thoroughly organized as any district in the council. They feel, however, that a new type of organization organ-ization would help; that a man might be employed in connection with the Pixie College who could do more intensive in-tensive work than is at the present possible; that part of the local funds could be used to pay his expenses, it is thought that he could cover the tei-itory in Washington County, and probably a little broader area. Prudent Nioholes of the Dixie College Col-lege is willing to cooperate in any way that the outside districts may desire. de-sire. He feels it is the duty of the College to serve wherever possible. i'lans for the financial drive for l'.'L'T were discussed, and means are being devised for the currying out of tl'.c-e plans.
