THE REMINGTON BOY SCOUTS

Entertained By Renzwlaer Scoata Last Monday Eve. On Friday last the Scouts took their first •’hike.” Their destinetlon was the swimming-hole on the Alter farm. After a tramp of five miles the boys were all set for a good swim, which they enjoyed Immensely. An hour of swimming satisfied even the warmest blooded of the Scouts. Following games and a “yarn” by Mr. Alter, twentyfour boys were r6ady to tackle the homeward tramp. Nothing atartng happened on the way home except that first aid had to be applied to "Polly’’ Turner, who went to sleep in the middle of the road. Monday evening the Scouts journeyed to Rensselaer via automobile to witness the Rensselaer Scouts in action. Under the capable direction of. Mr. Sauser, about forty boys made themselves hosts to the Remington troop, furnishing amusement in the way of drills, first aid and games. In the latter our boys had a part. In the near future a’ baseball game Is to be arranged ( between the troops of Rensselaer, and Remington. Thank you, Rens-] seiner. Some day we hope wjb may entertain you.—Remington Press.
