What’s new in your Troop? New faces, new games? Send them along, games, that is; so that they might find their way to this page. Remember, we would like to know YOUR favorite game.
Don’t suppose that 1949 will change that time-tested saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” We like to think of the Game File as helping that Scoutmaster friend of ours. You know the fellow.... Scout meeting scheduled for 7:30 o’clock; 7:50 and only a dozen fellows on hand and the games are planned for three full Patrols of eight Scouts. So rather than give way to complete frustration, the meeting goes on. A quick shift must be made. So we tug on the sleeve of that Scoutmaster friend of ours and steer him over to his file where he keeps his Scoutcraft Game File. Thumbing quickly through the file cards, he soon finds the games that will cover the situation.
How ’bout it Cubbers and Scouters.... Got your Game File up-to-date?
