Local Man Leads Seoul Expedition In Western State A. B. McCroskey, Jr., of Clinton, district Scout execu tive, led 67 Scouts on a 12- day expedition over the trails of the Sangre de Cristo moun tains at Philmont Scout Ranch and Explorer Base at Cimarron, New Mexico. PhSmont is the 214-square mile national camping area of the Boy Scouts of America. While on the trail, the ex pedition had opportunities to participate in such activities as horseback riding, gold pan ning and mining, burro hand ling, geology and wilderness conservation. After shakedown training and listening to stories of the historic Santa Fe Trail area, McCroskey and his Scouts de parted from camping head quarters for Webster Lake base camp to begin their trek. He led the expedition after three days with a Philmont ranger. McCroskey was selected by the Kue Ridge Council to be the leader of the 72-man and boy expedition, according to L. L. Stanley, Scout executive of the Blue Ridge Council, of Greenville. Members of the party, a- board two buses, left Green ville on June 27, and on the route to and from the West scheduled visits to Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, Carlsbad Caverns, Oklahoma City, Little Rock and Memphis. They will return to Green ville tomorrow (Friday). Hairston Awarded Commendation Plans for the building were made during the pastorate of the Rev. Edward K.
