Scouts Hiking, Viewing 'The Knight of the Square Table' May 25, 1922

Girl and Boy Scouts Taking a Hike Today

This afternoon at 2 o’clock the Girl Scouts assembled at the U.D.C. Chapter House for a hike and picnic supper. Their goal was Little River and each Scout took a lunch sufficient to meet the needs of a hungry bunch of Scouts.

The Boy Scouts accompanied the troup on this outing, and Miss Vivian Draper, former Scout Captain, was guest of honor.

At 8 o’clock a Scout picture, “The Knight of the Squaw (Square) Table,” will be thrown on the screen. This picture portrays the life and activities of real Scouts in America.

Everyone is cordially invited to witness the pictures.

From the front page of The Harnett County News, Lillington, N.C., May 25, 1922. The newspaper called the movie ‘Knights of the Squaw Table’ so I looked it up. It’s actually ‘Knights of the Square Table’, a short movie produced in 1917, in which a gang of young boys decide the Boy Scouts aren’t so bad after all after the Boy Scouts beat them in a fist fight. The gang members decide to join the Boy Scouts.
