| Research Note | 1941 Boy Scout Troop 76, Scouter, Cassville, Barry Co., MO Pages 10-11 |
| Date | 1941 |
| Transcribed by Linda Garrett | Page 10 Committeemen Leaders: Francis Jarvis; Scoutmaster Charles Chandler; Banker One can really say that one of the most important parts of the scouting program is the nine committeemen who act as guides and advisors (sic) for the boys. Cassville is fortunate in having such a fine group of men who act in this capacity. Members Charles Willis; Insurance Roy Brooks; Salesman Roy Quillian; Forest Ranger Raymond King; Musician Merwin M. Hess; Supt. of Schools Glen Truhitte; Banker Committeemen not in picture are: Quentin Hammons and John Haddock. Page 11 O'wamena O'wamena, which means flowing water, was chosen last summer as the Boy Scouts summer camp. It has all that is needed to be a good camp, building, scenery, and a good swimming pool. It is also well situated. The Boy Scouts of the Roaring River District, which now contains Monett, Seligman, Pierce City, Exeter, and Purdy, made their first trip to the camp. Everyone had an enjoyable time although it practically rained them out. The Panther Patrol wrote the camp song and won the camp award with it. The group was under the direction of Harry Sebienthaler and Harry Seward. To the right are pictures of the camp which we hope you will long remember. 1. The Cassville cabin. 2. The swimming hole. 3. Some boys in front of the cabin. 4. The mess hall. |
