In the past two years, Scout Troop l47 at Oakes has had three major obiectivesp namely, to establish a well equipped troop room, to equip the troop with uniforms, and to advance the troop in scouting ranks. The tirst obiective has been almost realized. At the present the troop has a room equipped with scouting lore ot all kinds. Patrol tables painted in troop colors and marked with the emblem of each patrol, stand in the respective patrol corners. In the chest which each patrol possesses is first aid equipment, signal flags, ropes, tents, and other needed material. The second objective has been partially attected. More than three-tourths of the troop possess some part ot the scout unitorm. The troop as a whole has made very rapid advancement. In the past two years 34 tendertoot ranks have been awarded, 26 second-class ranks, seven first-class ranks, ten star ranks, nine lite ranks, and more than QOO merit badges. A patrol advancement contest was held last year, being won by the Eagle patrol with a total of 500 points. An explorer patrol has been organized for the older scouts who wish to participate in advanced scouting. This spring the troop will take part in a jubilee teither inter or intra- troopi, which will test the boys in their scouting craftsmanship in many ways. Each summer many of the local boys spend a week at scout camp where they brush up on the fine points of scouting, meet boys from other areas, and have a good time generally. Most of the scouts go to Camp Wakpala. Troop T47 is sponsored by the Oakes Lions Club, and directed by a committee ap- pointed lay the club, The chairman is L. C. Mueller, other members being R. W. Van Houten, Cal Lambert, E. A. Quam, and Frank Smelser. T311
