The events will begin Friday Fri-day when the troops will move onto the campus and pitch their tents. Following Fol-lowing the registration and the pitching pitch-ing of tents, the scouts will spend the remainder of the evening in formal re-treat re-treat and camp-fire programs. The schedule Saturday will include such events as parade, public speaking, field meet, banquet for officials and guests, court of honor and dance. The Soparovan will be conducted on about the same plan as last year which aims to bring all the scouts of southern Utah and Nevada into an annual powwow pow-wow which the word Soparovan translated trans-lated from the Indian language means. Another feature of this year's Soparovan Sopa-rovan will be the presence of a scout who has received the highest award given to a boy scout by the national organization. Bruce Lyman from St. Thomas recently was awarded a medal for the saving of three lives. Another interesting feature will be competition for the championship silver loving cup which will be given to the scout troop standing highest at the end of the field meet.
