Show EOY SCOUTS OF GUNNISON TROUP 1 SCOUT PROMISE, On my honor 1 will do my hi st: 1 To do my duty to God and rav country, and to obey the Scout Law; 2. To help other people at all times; 3. To keep nivself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. The M. I. A. conjoint meeting held last Sunday evening was of uncommon uncom-mon interest, featuring the first organization or-ganization of Boy Scouts in the ward, Gunnison Troup 1, disciplined under the direction of Scout Master A. E. Park. The attendance was exceptionally excep-tionally good and favorable comment of the entertainment was quite general, gen-eral, especially in praise of Mr. Park for the marked training of his troup. Following a pointed address by Conrad Freschknecht, principal of the high school, on the importance of Boy Scout work as a characcer builder, build-er, the group of 18 boys named in the announcement published last week, all uniformed and with marked precision pre-cision were lined up and separately in the words cited beginning this article ar-ticle solemnly pledged their allegiance as M. I. A. Boy Scouts, each being presented with a certificate of membership mem-bership in the national organization. Then facing an unfurl of the Stars and Stripes they in concert made the following pledge: i ''I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the country for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The investiture was pretty to witness wit-ness and both scouts and scoutmaster deserve every encouragement. Tne opening and closing songs were congregational and of patriotic order, J. W. Young gave a pretty Irish mel- j ody, and a quartet sang "J ust Before i the Battle, Mother." O. C.'Williams ! j of the Y. M. I. A. presidency con-j . d.oi,t d the meeting. |
