Bristol Scouts Keep War Effort Alive Through 1942
In September and October 1942 Bristol Boy Scouts aided in war efforts including scrap drives, air raid card distribution, and Civilian Defense parades. PFC Henry W. Arouca and PFC Virgin Sousa, both of Battery C, 243rd CAC, earned Soldiers Medals for rescuing two pilots near Narragansett Bay. The district welcomed new leaders, introduced Air Scouting, and issued War Service bars for completing projects as Troop Six reorganized and the First Troop marked its 30th year with celebrations.
