According to the plans recommended by the district dis-trict committee, Scouts and Explorers Explor-ers will present Scout programs at the Sunday evening services in the various wards. On Tuesday, February 6, Parents' Night in Scout Meeting will be held. The troops will hold "open house" for the parents, and demonstrations of Scout rank requirements and other oth-er features will be given.

The highlight of the week will come Thursday, February 8, when the National Recommittal will be held. Saturday, February 10, will offer an opportunity for every Scout to do his daily good turn. This will be Good Turn Day, and it is suggested that every troop plan to do some good turn, as a troop. It is also recommended that an outdoor sports event be held following the good turn.
