North Shore Scout Executive Walter McPeek awarded May Efficiency shield to Troop 5 for the mol?,t efficient and active troop on the north shore during the month of May. This report of the Troop activities does not take into consideration the many local and area-wide Scout events that Troop 5 has participate<\ in. Neither does it include the complete program vffered each me.eting night of t~e troop. During the year there has been a patrol contest for efficiency, the award to the winning patrol--the Wolf Patrol-leader, Fred Robinson. .Nor does this report take into account the individual efforts made by every member of the Troop towards making Trooo. 5 the best troop in Wilmette. Such effo.rts should be rightfully given a place undf:'r troop a<;tiviti_ es. A fitting climax to a successful Scout yeiu j~ a two weeks' camping trip at Whitehall, Mich., for members of Troop 5- June 25 to July 5. The expense of ~uch camp does not co~t'lare with th e wQnderful benefits which each boy attending will derive from his experience.

McCauley. The total enrollment for the year has been thirty-five Scouts, Troop 5 has welcomed and trained sixteen new boys in Its Scouting membership. All Scouts are at present members of the troop. F.rom the total enrollment of thirtyfive, our Tt:>l'OrdH show that three boys dropped out of Scouting and two transfer~d to other Wilmette troops. Those who left S<'outing gave as their reason the- increased rt:>::;ponsibllity of their school work. Transfers were necessitated by parel!tS desiring their sons· to atllllate with a troop in their own church. We feel that such a small "mortality" list speake very well for the troop. At the present time there are thirty registered Scou_ ts in Troop 5. Advancement-From an active list of thirty . membt:>rs we . find the following progress In advancement· 1. Scout Alvin Bartholomew became an Eagle Scoot, the highest rank in Scouting. This means that he successfully paf,$ed twenty-five merit badges in additJon to being a first class Scout. 2. Scout Henry Foster, became a Life Scout. This is the next highest rank an~ requires ten· Merit Badges. Three Scouts, Edward Dierkes, Fred 1\pblnson and Hubert P ellott, have completed 'equlrements for their Star Scout Badge. · Other advancements are as followsto first class Scout, eleven boys; to second class Scout, 11 boys. At the present time there are a number of boy§ who have completed practically all of their requirements tor the next highest rank and will undoubtedly be pas~ed at the next Wilmette Court of Award. . In this report we have not taken into account the various merit badges awarded to ~he members, but only the completed .,-rade or advancement. It m::ly suffice to f:ay that every second class and fir::;t class Scout has earned 2 or more Merit badges this year. 1'r~op ncthlties- Th e program this year has been full of interesting events and a varied program, taking in all sorts and phases of Scout work.
