(b) In dismissing, troops with a bugler may play "Taps" or may sing the same to words locally composed. (c) In some troops Corporals give commands. This is good because it emphasizes the patrol system. But the form outlined is given as the minimum requirement, and troops using it need never feel at a loss in large rallies, for every ceremony necessary to express the Scout spirit with dignity is there. No additions made locally should change the essential order of these exercises, all additions which are made being merely amplifications of it in detail, which may not be possible nor desirable in every community. Business Meeting The meeting opens with the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer in place, with the Secretary at the right and the Treasurer at the left of the Chairman. The idea is to have every Scout in the troop learn to be the Chairman so that any and all could act in the capacity of a Business Chairman at any kind of meeting. The meeting is called to order by the Chairman. "Will the meeting please come to order?" The Chairman asks the Secretary to call the roll. "Will the Secretary call the roll? And will the Treasurer collect the dues?" The Chairman calls for the Secretary's report. "Will the Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting?" The Chairman calls for corrections of the minutes. "Are there any corrections?" If there are none she says: "If not, the minutes stand approved." If there are corrections the Chairman calls for further corrections, "Are there further corrections, etc. If not, the minutes stand approved as corrected." Form of Secretary's report: "The regular meeting of Pansy Troop No. 5, held at the club house, on April 4th, was called to order at 3 o'clock. In the absence of the Chairman, Scout ---- took the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, dues collected amounted to ----. After ---- was discussed and voted upon, the meeting adjourned." The Chairman calls for the Treasurer's report. "Will the Treasurer give her report?" Form of Treasurer's report: Balance on hand Jan. 1, 1919 $2.50 Members' dues $1.00 Fines .30 1.30 ----- Total $3.80 Disbursements-- Janitor $1.00 $1.00 Balance on hand 2.80 ----- Total $3.80 The Chairman calls for corrections as before. Then the Chairman calls for a discussion of old business, that is, anything discussed at previous meetings, that has been left undone or left to be decided at a later date. Any member of the meeting may bring up this old business, or the Chairman may start the discussion. "The business before the meeting is ----. What is your pleasure in regard to this," or "Will anyone make a motion?"
