to join this troop and work for the discipline of the school.

the British people had given to Indians are:- 1) cricket and 2)
Scouts & Guides movements for which no Indian feels that it is
imposed on us and hence never wants to get rid of it. Further he

not to harm anyone. Vinutha C B of Std. VI clad like Lady Olave
