We two scoutmasters and Mr.Wade are going to be the committee.
Now you'd better all turn in and hurry up about it, and Ralph Gordon is not to snore; they're complaining about it over in town." "Can we do any kind of stunts we want to ?" asked the tall scout whom they call Nick. "Any kind at all that's good scouting; that's the only rule."
