under i;hapter 45 , Section 21. 'Ja point this out to stress
the responsibility of the Town Forest Committee to care for
this valued resource of our town. For this reason , and to
prevent misunderstanding regarding the use of the Town Forest ,
we are listing the following regulations :
The area assigned to each troop may be considered for
its use as long as the troop continues to be rechartered
and continues to actively use its area.
No live trees , shrubs, or any. growing plants are to be
out or removed from the forest without the written
permission of this committee.
P fire permit must be obtained from the Fire Department
before any fire of any size whatever is started. The
location of the fire area must be checked with this
committee .
If any troop floes not follow these regulations ,
or follow good conservation practices and good
judgement , permission to use an area is subject
to revocation .
The so-called Council Ring is for the use of all
Reading Boy Scout Troops , as well as all the
people in the Town. Each unit should check with
this committee before making definite plane to
use the Council Ring to prevent too many troops
planning to use it at the same time .
These regulotior_s are subject to change if necessary.
We believe all of our Heading Boy Scouts should enjoy
good Scouting under this plan. If you have any questions ,
please get in touch with any of us .
Yours in Scouting,
James S. Perry , Chairman
Benjamin E. Nichols , Secretary
Irving E. Dickey
