Dear Scout:
We are entering our 15th year of Drum Corps activities and the corps has been a credit to our families, city, state, and country, and we hope to continue it with your cooperation; so a set of rules is submitted:

1. All individual personality is forgotten, and we work as a group.
2. No smoking is allowed on any trip at any time.
3. No sports clothes are allowed on the trips, only the regulation traveling greens we used the last year. Arrangements are being made to replenish worn-out clothes.
4. No jackets are to be worn except on corps trips or activities and then only by the scout himself.
5. There is to be no cussing.
6. One or more fathers is to accompany all trips and he has the same jurisdiction as the Director.
7. No individual cars are to be driven on any trip outside of Madison without the permission of the Director.
8. In case you cannot attend, you must notify the Director as soon as possible so you can be replaced by an alternate.
9. All clothing must be marked.
10. For competition and parade, only the Official Boy Scout shoes will be worn.
11. A medical blank must be in our hands by the time of camp opening.
12. No initiation whatsoever of new members.

It is hoped that we don't have to dismiss anyone because of an infringement of the rules.

Scoutingly,
C.H. Beebe
Executive Director
