On Saturday evening scouts of the district, their parents and friends, enjoyed seeing the displays dis-plays of the different scout and senior scout troops of the district, at the First ward hall. A demonstration demon-stration given by Harold Nielsen, explorer commissioner from Orem, was a real revelation to all present, pres-ent, portraying just what can be packed in a 30-pound pack to supply sup-ply every meal for a fellow while spending a week out in the mountains moun-tains in places where he may travel with onlyv a pack on his back. Vernon Castleton and Commissioner Commis-sioner Manwaring showed a number num-ber of colored slides during the evening, taken at various scout events, including the Scout Cen-ennial Cen-ennial camp, held at Salt Lake City the past summer, and scenes of beauty spots in Utah and Idaho. The district scout officers expressed ex-pressed regret that more parents of scouts were not in attendance. Each scout troop had displays which had taken much time to assemble and really exhibited the splendid work being done by scouts of Kolob, according to reports re-ports by officials. Lewis Cutler, whose outstanding service in Boy Scouts organiza- tions was recognized with the j awarding of his Veterans badge, representing 30 years of service. Scoutmaster of the Third Ward Troop No. 62, he has during these many years aided in the character building of many boys, instilling in them a desire to do the worthwhile worth-while things. Many have grown into better manhood because of the training received under him. Mr. Cutler's troop now has an aim for 17 Eagle Scouts by the close of the . current year. On Monday evening, the First Ward Scout and Senior Scout troop met at the ward chapel with their parents and enjoyed a ban-quct ban-quct and program. More than a hundred scouts and guests were in attendance. Following the banquet, which was prepared by the Relief Society, the group assembled in the amusement hall, where clever stunts were put on by two of the patrols in the troop. A Court of Honor was also held with Edward Boycr, district committeeman, presenting the awards for the accomplishments of the troop. An interesting talk was given during the evening by Jay Newman, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for Utah and Nevada. Movie films of the activities of the scout troop were later shown by Scoutmaster R. L. Wilson, and all reported an enjoyable enjoy-able time. Another activity of Scout Week was the banquet held by the Mapleton Ma-pleton troop last evening at the ward hall. Other troops have banquets and other events planned for a later date. |
