Each child is to bring a bag lunch and beverage fromhome, or he may buy softdrinks at thestate park. The bus transporta-KRIS tion will cost 20cents for the trip out and back.Upon arrival at Big Island, lunch will be first on the agenda. After their stomachs havebeen satisfied, the children will be divided into three age groups for various organized activities. Among these will be a nature hike, ball games, relays, contests, and a group song fest.At 3 p. m. the troop will once again board the buses to be transported back to the p 1 a y-grounds.
