CAMP

That's the magic word that spells the difference between an uninterest-ing day, trying to find semething to do in the city, and an eventful day, spentin the 'great out-of-doors.

Here you have a Camp that really puts the OUT in scOUTing, that givesevery Scout an opportunity to live in the open-getting some of the thrillout of the Scouts of old-against a background of trees, wide open spacesand blue skies. ,

How would you like, to sit around a blazing campfire at night, listeningto thrilling tales of. adventure?

Or wouldn't it be great to go swimming 'twice a day?'. , ~ I ;;, )

And what fun it will be to take a hike through the camp property, andwe have 1150 acres of-jt , and perhaps sleep, under the stars,

A big treasure hunt, an Indian Pow-wow, singing around the campfire,'boating and canoeing. 0>

'And then there are those tests you have been wanting to pass for sometime (THE EAGLE IS BECKONING you ONWARD!)

CAMPING BY TROOPSTroop camping will be emphasized this year. When possible a Troop should

come to Camp as a Troop under its own leadership.

Troop equipment in the form of tentage, tool'S and the like will be fur-nished by the Camp.

Each Troop may have its own religious services while it is in Camp orit may join that offered by the Camp.
