FOXTON TROOP BOY SCOUTS.
The local butcher must have wondered last Saturday why there was such a demand for beef steak. Such a number of boys purchasing steak in the early morning is not of frequent occurrence. The sequel was a cooking test for Boy Scouts. Through the kindness of Mr Frank Robinson, a held day for the boys was held behind the trig station on Mount Robinson. Scoutmaster Warwick and the Rev. \V. H. Walton put 23 hoys through the test. Each boy had to bring fib. of meat, two potatoes, one onion, and cairots, and to cook the meal in a billy. The results of the test were splendid. Both Scout Masters have had considerable experience in camping, and the efforts of the boys proved how useful they can make themselves. In every case the cooking came up to a good standard for scout conditions. The percentage of marks ranged from 9o to 58, but the average would be 75 per cent. The boys have now passed all their'tests for secondclass badges, except one, which they will have this week.
