The Scout and Guide organisations have continued their activities, and the various inspections have all been productive of good reports. A team from the Stoneyetts Troop of Scouts has recently gained the Marshall Trophy for Highland Dancing, which Trophy was competed for by Scouts in the Glasgow area.
