A Camp Interior
honwood Troop. Noethern Michigan

At Council Bluffs, Iowa, the various
patrols have each built hut on the hill:
over which the hikes extend.
How to build log cabin is one Of the
things which a good scout is expected to
master, and the necessity for winter quar-.
ters has given many of the scouts expert
ence along this line which they might
otherwise never have obtained.
All that is required to equip scout
club house or cabin properly is stove, a
few simple cooking utensils, rug ortwo
and some pictures. That makes cosey
interior, whether there are such conven-
tional things as chairs and tables or not
All true scouts can sit on the floor with
perfect comfort and none Of them de-
mands that there should be a table at
which meals may be served. But stove
is absolutely necessary unless the club
house is a very grand one and has an
open fireplace, because q club house or
cabin without any cooking arrangements
would be most disappointing place to a
tired and hungry scout,

I|LUB houses or club rooms for the
different troops of the Boy Scouts Of
America are now coming to be much
desired part of scout equipment, and all
over the country the boys are looking out
for suitable homes for their troops. In
many places the Young Mems Christian
Association has furnished rooms for the
Boy Scout meetings, but this is not always
possible, and even when other organiza-
tions are equally kind the Scouts generally
feel that home of their own, however
humble, is better than the most generous
hospitality.
Some of the club houses which have al
ready been erected are in fine buildings
and beautifully equipped, as the club

ISt. Louis, Mo. This building, only one
story in height, is built of brick along
military lines and has a hall suitable for
drills. The various patrol rooms encircle
this centre hall, and there are workshops,
a wireless room and division headquarters.
While there are many handsome club
houses of this kind or similarly well fur
nished and well equipped rooms for the
different troops, even more popular are
the cabins which the boys themselves
build and furnish in the simplest manner.
Many of these are built at some point in
the woods so that during long hikes in
the cold weather the boys may stop in and
warm up and even cook themselves a
meal In other places the cabins are
built in the suburbs or on a vacant lot
which has been lent to a city scout troop.
