The purpose of the club is to keep the public informed of troop activities and properly to publicize pub-licize the Scout movement. Special emphasis will be placed on training to meet the requirements for the coveted Journalism merit badge. Each Scout will be prepared in the course of the club work to pass the merit badge, and will be expected to do so.

Any other Scouts interested in joining the club or in passing the Journalism merit badge are invited to attend the initial meeting Monday night. |
