Arriving | at Camp Jackson Lee Sawyer, Saturday morning, the Scouts up} for advancement pitched their | tents, built their fires and pre-! pared for tests. Several second! class Scouts complete their first class requirements; while not to be outdone, several tenderfoots passed scond class tests. The Camp was shared Satur- day with members ‘of Troop 53. The water in the pool was fine and nearly all the Scouts partici- psted in the swimming program. Skits, songs and fun were en- joyed at the Campfire on Satur- day night. All Scouts not belong- ; ing to the “Royal Order of Siam” were initiated into the “Order” by the members present, The unique initiation ceremony of the “Loyal Order of the Scottish Flit- terfly” was also carried out. Both organizations are fun groups in the Scouting Program. Services at Marathon’s Com- munity Chureh were attended by the Protestant Scouts: while the Catholic Scouts attended Holy Mass a. the Church of the Holy Cross at Marathon. There were seventeen reluct- ant Scouts returning to Key West Sunday afternoon, but they were enlivened by promises of Camp- ing trips in the near future! Scouts attending the encamp- ment were: Anthony Attilio, Ro- bert Chrisman, Willard Chris- man, Leonard Conly, William Deegan, Ronald Foster, Lea Gan- dy, Gary Lacey, Albert Leight- ley, William Maidens, Albert Miller, Jr., Arthur Noble, Rich- ard Park, Robert Read, George Roberts, James Steward, Ger- ald Wilson and Scoutmaster Tony !
