SCOUT NEWS
ROTORUA No. 2 TROOP. During last week-end, a party of Matamata scouts under Scoutmaster F. G. Southon were the guests of the troop at Ohinemutu. The party, who wei'e camped in Rukuwai, enjoyed their stay immensely and were impressed hy the kindness of the Maori scouts, who paid special attention to their comfort. Pirst and s'eeond-class instructions will be carried out throughout the school holidays and the weekly parades will he devoted to proficiency badge work. The Log Book. il have now come to what I may term the "tradition building" records, and foremost of these stands the Log Book or record of the group's activities written by a memher of the troop The Log Book should be one of those fat, important-looking books, preferably bound in leather that has been embossed or poker-worked in fcrue scout fashion, and the more it contains in the way of sketches and snaps the better. . Camps and hikes, special "stunts," L'ecords of contests, office bearers; in short, all that goes to the making of the history of a good troop should be found in its pages. Of course., the main factor in the success of the Log Book is the selecting of the right fellow to keep it. [t does not matter so much who he is, Leader, Second, Troop-Leader or Scouter. Like everything else in jouting, "the spirit's the thing."
