First Troop Organized in February,
1910, by American Business
Man Back from Louden.
This week marks the twenty-sixth
anniversary of the founding of the
Coy Scout organization and is being
observed in various ways over the
nation. The week was started by a
nation-wide program on the air last
Saturday afternoon In which lead
ing S oul executives and President
Roosevelt, honorary president of the
Doy Scout organizations made brief
addresses that were listened to by
assembled troop3 and by individual
Scouts and Scouters in their homes.
It was back in 1910 that Scout ins
first came into existence in this
country, fashioned after
a similar
youth movement in England that had
attracted the attention of an Ameri
can vistor. "V.". D. Boyce. who had
the plan explained to him by Lord
Fladen Powell of London, organizer of
the movement there, and came home
o recruit the first troop. Since then,
it has grown by leaps and bound.".
First active work along Scouting
lines (unofficial however) in Platts
aiouth was done about the year 1914
.vhen Carl Schmidtmann. C. A. Rawls
and Fred Dawson became leaders of
a group of boys of Scouting age that
made frequent trips into the country,
roughing it in true pioneer style and
learning many of the rudiments of
outdoor life incorporated in the Boy
Scout manuel of today. Unorganized
work of this type among the boys of
the community was continued for
several years.
OiYicial Scouting in riaUsmouth
begun with the completion of the
rrcscnt hgh school building in the
year 1917. Through the co-operation
of the Foard of Education. Scouting
was allowed the use- of suffi "ient
space in the building to carry :. ;:3
activities.
Rev. A. V. Hunter became the first
Scoutmaster, and was succeeded by
men who afterwards became distin
guished in Scout work, among them
Clarence Peden. now district execu
tive in cUisrcuri. and Irvir.jr V.'iltse.
who is also a Scout exe.iitive in
Porto Rrcco. .
For the last seven yea'ts. Raymond
Larson has been chief Scoutmaster,
and has had many assistants in the
v.ork. Many older Scouts have been
most helpful in carrying on the pro
gram of the National Boy Scouts of
America, to which the local organi
zation has been most faithful.
Mr. Larson has been untiring in
his efforts to serve the boyhood of
Plattsmouth, as they have reached
the age of twelve years and taken
up the work of Scouting. Forty boys
have been enrolled in Scouting for
several years past, and patrol orga
nization has been maintained, each
patrcl having eight boys, with one
cf them serving as patrol leader.
In this manner many boys have

program Scouting offers. Russell
Reeder lias given most valuable as
sistance during the years of his resi
dence here. Leo Kcolle, another
member cf the school faculty, is at
present assisting Mr. Larson with
i the program.

troop No. 3 64, survivor of three dif
lerent troops, has been under the
sponsorship of Hugh Kearns post,
American Legion, which provides a
troop committee, and Mr. Larson is
also a Legionnaire. These younger
headj in the Scouting game depend
much, however, on the mature judg
ment and experience of E. H. Wes
rott. "Hilt" has had a long and in
teresting experience in boys' work
and has been an outstanding leader
in the Scouting movement here. His
knowledge of boys, their habits and
inclinations as well as the proper
manner of approach and leadership
53 well known to all Journal read
ers, and the Legion troop committee
looks uron him as the real Scout ex
ecutive in Plattsmouth. He is one of
the vice commanders of Arbor Lodge
district, which is a part of the Corn
busker council, with headquarters in
Lincoln.
Plattsmouth Scouts have always
kept pace 'with these of other towns
over the country in the matter cf
advancement, a considerable number
cf those enrolled continuing their
advancement to the high rank of
Eagle Scout.
Investiture ceremonies are held at
frequent intervals to receive boys of
the attained age of twelve required
by Scout regulations. Before they
can be thus received as Tenderfoot
Scouts, they are required to pass nu
merous preparatory tests before the
Scoutmaster. From then on, advance-
rent is received at district courts of
honor, held at different towns over
tho Arbor Ixdge district.
In the spring cf 13.14. tinder the

At the present, time an inter-patrol
contest i3 being carried on that has
greatly increased interest of the
boys in Scout work. Troop meetings
have been reduced in number to two
a month on account of absence from
the city of Scoutmaster Larson the
other two meeting nights, but to;
take their place bi-weekly patrol
rtectings are held at the homes of
individual members of each of
patrols.

were the chief topics of discussion
at the annual convention of the Ne

Wednesday afternoon. M. T. Caster
of Lincoln predicted rapid rural elec
trification development in Nebraska
in the near future.
"Transportation and communica
tion facilities which enable the rural i
resident to maintain contact with his
city neighbors and make comparisons
between living conditions have ,on
tributed to a loss in rural popula
tion." he said. "With the return or
improved economic conditions, which
will soon be realized, wo can look
forward with confidence to increased
farm revenues which will provide in
the farmer's budget an opportunity
to obtain electric service and enjoy
many cf the comforts and con-
veniences which have been previously
beyond his reach."
