"Camp Philosopher" Is
Latest Scout Official

Camp Archibald Butt now has a new
officer in the shape of a camp phiIos-
opher," the title having been given in
recognition Of special services on the
part of one of the scouts. Ben Landey.
a boy who went to camp only last
week and known among his playmates
as "Izzy," has been unanimously
elected "camp philosopher" and is
given special duties in virtue of the
office.
'Izzy' is especially valuable at the
weekly minstrel shows at the camp, as
he sings we'll and dances. His especial
delight is to hang around" the cook
tent, helping the cook. Some of the
more jealous boys declare he stands
in" with the cook.
These things are some of the gossip
of the camp. Other reports are to the
effect that the boys are having the
time OF their lives, and that camp phil
osophers and the Ike are simply a part
Of the fun.

KEEN RIVALRY OVER
CONDITION OF TENTS
Lads at Boy Scout Camp Are
Engaged in Friendly Rivalry
for Banner.

There has been great rivalry among
the different tents at Camp Archibald
Butt. the Boy Scout summer camp be-
low Chesapeake Beach, and the boys
have been especially keen in keeping
well equipped tents. with everything
clean about the place.
The competition between Tent No. I.
containing boys from Troop q, of Ia
koma Park. and Tent No. 3 containing
boys from Troop Is, has been especially
keen. In nearly three weeks during
which the camp has been open Tent No.
held the championship banner six
times out Of eight days. and Tent No.
held the banner six times in success
sion.
Both of these records excel the record
for the same sort of thing last year in
summer camp. the record then being
five successive days.

PANAMA AND CUBA
PLANNED FOR SCOUTS
Expedition Will Have as Its
Object instruction in Ideals
of Movement.

What promises to be the biggest af-
fair in connection with Boz Scouts
ever carried out in this country is now
being arranged by Scout Commissioner
+. S. Martin for next winter, when II
Is proposed to take a Boy Scout troop
from the District to Panama and Cuba
This is the announcement made today
from Scout headquarters here. Details
or The plan are not vet fully worked
out, but tentatively they are as follows:
Leave here about December Il. for
Panama: stop at Havana or other
Cuban ports, spend about two weeks
in the island and in Panama and reach
Washington on the return about jan
nary II. The expedition will occupy
about month. There will be a corn
plete Boy Scout troop. of three PATROLS
numbering twenty-four boys, besides
scoutmaster and patrol leaders.
Educational Trip.
The object of the expedition is to
spread the knowledge OF the boy scout
movement in the Panama district and
in Cuba. The trip must have the sane
to-. Of the national council, but wheth-
er or not there will be boys from any
place except Washington, has not been
determined. During the trip the boys
Will give demonstrations of all kinds.
Ire NOS VINO go Will be chosen for
their ability as scouts. All will be first
class scouts and will be chosen for
their merit in the organization.
The demonstrations will include
swimming, firemaking, camping, track
ing. demonstrations OF first aid of all
sorts, besides many OF the lines of
scout work which are learned in con-
nection with merit tests Conferences
will be held with Government officials,
officials of Boys clubs Y. NJ. c. 4.
organizations, and the like and
demonstrations given before them.
Steps will also be taken to Organize
new Boy Scout councils in many diff
fercnt localities.
Will Be Vacation, Too.
II is pointed out that. In most of the
localities to be visited, little knowledge
is had Of what Boy Scouts stand for
and tC explain this to the people is one
object of the expedition.
There will be ample opportunity,
however, for the boys to have a yaca-
tior and boy scout work Will not Oc-
cupy all the time. The Panama canal
will he visited, as will also the points
Of interest in Cuba and possibly Porto
Rico. The expense of the trip as now
considered will be little over 500 for
each person. This may be reduced by
later arrangements.
The honor of thus opening a new dis
trict to Boy Scout work by Washing
ton boys Will be very great, Il is de-
cldred and II is expected competition
among the different troops of the city
to produce a proficiency that will en-
title them to a place on the eliRibIe
list will be very keen.

armed with kodaks and all wishing
10 obtain merit badges for photog-
raphy.
Already there has been a good deal
of activity in photograph taking, but
Scout Master Taylor says that the
only results thus far have been to
increase the sale of kodak films. The
boys are showing great Improvement
however, and Mr.. Taylor says that by
fall he expects to have a squad that
will be as well known as his already
