Editor's note Getting a troop In uniform has always been a big problem for scout leaders. In the following article, John B...Gess-ford, B...Gess-ford, former scoutmaster of Troop 51, Community church, reviews how his group of scouts did it. BY JOHN B. GESSFORD In this complex world of ours there are thousands of different kinds of activities going on . but of each one the same question can be asked, "How is the job being dene?" In scouting there are a number of tested principles which will produce a superior brand f applied ap-plied sincerely but we still go on doing the job "in a faahion mediocre." Obtain Uniforms Our troop was an example in the case of uniforms. We had seen fine pictures of uniformed scouts, we knew many arguments argu-ments in favor . of uniform's , and we admitted that scouts should wear them but in spite of all this we went on from year to year with barely enough uniforms in the troop to muster a color guard for special occasions. , We were always sure of a sympathetic sym-pathetic audience when we agreed that the boys couldn't afford uniforms, uni-forms, that they would outgrow them before getting full service from them, that after all it wasn't the uniform -but the program that was important, so on. We had decided de-cided some years back that every boy should at least wear the neckerchief neck-erchief and we always felt rather pround that at least the boys had made a start towards getting uniforms. But after ten years we were still "starting." Remark Starts It One day in February 1935, a remark of a patrol leader put fire into the troop. He made the statement "If this business of scouting is worth anything at all it is worth doing the very best way we know how." The troop saw the light, the troop committee saw the light and the parents saw the light. A plan was organized. Every scout in the troop was to put money into a troop fund until enough was deposited to buy a suit ($3.50 to cover shorts, shirt and socks). The commtitee realized that the troop was no different than the average and that there would, therefore, be a few who would not be-aDle to put up the money. A "loan fund" was established. Joint activities raised the fund and it was loaned out upon the signing of notes. All Come Together An interesting feature of the plan was that no uniforms were to be ordered until everybody was ready. It was a thrill to see 22 uniforms delivered all at once. There was an immediate change in the atmosphere of the troop meetings. Every part of the program pro-gram was flavored with the kind of scouting: vou read about. The I patrol leader's councils became .'In order to create more advancement, ad-vancement, Scoutmaster Mark Murray of Troop 42, Fifth ward, has worked out an inter-patrol contest. A valuable prize will be given to the patrol with the most points at the end of the contest. The contest con-test is expected to start within the next few weeks Dale Lewis.

Come Uniformed News travels quickly through "boydom" that "everyone in that troop is uniformed" so new scouts, even before making application to. join the troop, were uniformed.
