BOY SCOUT TROUP 24 On March 51, 1955 the Macomb Council of the Boy Scouts of America granted to Lincoln High School a charter to organize Boy Scout troop number 24, Since that time the organization has been functioning regularly, and today it is one of the largest groups in the extra curricular activities of Lincoln. The enrollment of troop 24, which in the beginning listed eighteen members has increased to forty-eight boys. The growth of such an organization which builds character through habit, citizenship, through service, which develops cooperation and en- riches boy life should be an asset to any school. The programs which have been carried on at the scout meet- ings have been entertaining as well as instructive, including games and the gradual mastering of the phases of scout craft. The late Dr. Charles Kulm of Detroit furnished one of the most pleasant programs of the year, giving an enjoyable talk and treating all the boys to hot dogs and punch. He also introduced Scout Commissioner Gore of Detroit who gave a short talk. During the summer of 1936 the scout meetings were supervised by Mr. James L. Truax during the absence of the scout master, Mr. Hill. With the aid of the community and the boys, we hope ln the future to makeour troop one of the finest, through the scouters transfering the benefits of our ideals and laws to our supporters and friends.
