Vwever, to Kno the game or activity and to get the spirit of it. These games, etc., will not play themselves. The above list furnishes suggestions for activities which will include every member of the troop. This is highly desirable as we find frequently that o.ri.in hnv will attend for a lime

but later drop out because there was

a part of the evening at least that dragged for them. They were not interested. Or perhaps recreation was

! offered in which only a limited number

could tike part. It is the leaders duty not only to select suitable recreation but to vary it and above all to take part and lend it. Any assistance that may be necessary will be gladly given through the Executive's office.
