Votes of thanks were accorded all who assisted in making the effort a success, especially Mrs G. Stratford and Mrs Mbit on for taking charge of the supper and Mr Sutton for giving th 5 prizes. The Scoutmaster reported the strength of the troop as two second class scouts, and 15 ten lei foot boys. One new recruit was enrolled during the month. It was suggested that as Hunterville had no first aid men in attendance at the football matches the scouts might be of some use. The Scoutmaster pointed out that the boys were not yet far enough advanced in the work to cope with many accidents, but nevertheless could be quite useful. It was decided that it be suggested to the management committee of the Football Club that two boys could be present at each match to be at the officials call with a stretcher and to make themselves useful in cases of emergency. Messrs Simons and Sutton were appointed a visiting committee for the month.
