Very noticeable was the spirit of camaraderie as the various patrols vied with each other for top honors in tests of skill and knowledge. Great enthusiasm was shown in their games which left each boy puffing, and having a wonderful time.

Delicious refreshments were serv- ed by the Scout Mothers' Auxiliary and a very interesting and pleasant evening was enjoyed.
