Camp Butt Notes

Merrick Williams, father of Scout Hor-
raj Williams, has been assisting at camp,
where his wide outdoor experience has
proved OF much worth to the boys. For
several days he was in charge of the
dining tent detail, and under him the
boys set a new record for neatness.
A log cabin, fourteen by sixteen feet
is being erected near the camp by the
Scouts in charge of the various details,
who are known as the officers of the
camp. The plans were prepared by Ben
Landy. The cabin will have a door and
two windows, but no chimney, as ii will
be used only in the summer time. The
camp officers are the busiest boys on
the beach.
The field wireless set is now in good
working order. and almost every day the
camp gets the time and weather report
from the Arlington station. Several times
scores the same way.
The camp was treated to some real
down south" jig music last week by
Scoutmaster II. L. Taylor. of Troop 49,
who brought his banjo TO camp with
him. He conducted several examinations
and acted as assistant director of the
camp.
An impromptu entertainment was
given at the big campfire Thursday
night. when all the wood and litter
about the camp was burned up. DR..
Leonard made a brief talk on the Scout
spirit, and Scout Master Taylor recited
two poems. \ big time also was had
Friday night, when Tent No. / gave a
show.
Tent No. was the banner tent most
of the week. bat the boys are getting
to be such good housekeepers that the
competition always Is close.

To the Scout Editor:

To the Scout Editor:
Members of Troop "a, OF Congress
Heights, recently gave a demonstration
of their ability in scoutcraft for the
benefit OF their parents and friends.
The program included music by the
troop drum and bugle corps, first aid
and stretcher demonstration, settng-up
exercise, recitations. blanket toss and
the playing of the call to the lowering
Of the colors at evening. Refreshments
we're served and the evening closed with
the sounding of taps.
1t was regretted that Scout Master
Merritt Earl could not be present on
account OF the death Of his little child.
The boys sent a handsome floral piece
and also served as a guard of honor
at the funeral services.
Everything with the troop is progress
ing well. and we expect to be even more
active as soon as it becomes little cool
er weather.
Very truly yours.

To the Scout Editor:
1 am having the finest time ever had.
am in Bristol, and recently visited the
cottage made by troop Of Boy Scouts.
1t is built on a mob of a hill overlooking
the town. 1t is a fine place, and the
Scouts have a good deal Of fun going
there to camp.
Recently i went on a hunting trip to
big Creek Park and stayed two days
and one night. During that time climb
ed the five highest peaks near there and
went in swimming in the Holstein
river, which flowed past our camp site.

To the Scout Editor:
Brackston Boswell and myself took a
short hike last Thursday and come back
Friday morning. thus spending the night
in the open. We took our camp kits,
but no tent We hiked to Takoma
Park and arrived there at about s
o'clock in the evening, after an hours
hike.
While considering where we should
steep we met Louis Gosorn, assistant
scout master of troop q, who directed
us to the residence Of Scout Master F.
l.. Harries. We were offered the use
of a good tent there. but thought 1t too
large to put up by ourselves so went
down into the woods not far away and
made camp.
It was very pleasant there and We en-
ioyed sitting about the camp fire at
first, but after a while II became pretty
lonesome and We decided to accept the
offer of Mrs. Harries to sleep on the
porch of her house.
The boards of the porch were pretty
hard. and We awoke at about 4:30 and
went down into the woods, where we
got breakfast. and then STAYED around
in the woods until about $50. when we
started for home. We are planning
sev eral more short hikes soon.
Very truly.

To the Scout Editor:
We are certainly having a good time
here at Camp Archibald Butt, and am
sure all the boys are glad they came
here. The meals are certainly D. K, the
location is perfect for a scout camp, and
the management is all that one could
desire / do not mind the sea nettles,
although many of the boys declare they
bother them a good deal. By watching
the water when one is bathing, and then
paying no attention to the bites" after
one gets "stung' there is little trouble
with the nettles.
1t must be in the air. or the eats"
or something else that one wants TO do
so many things here. 1 can hardly
imagine myself at home going to the
trouble of making a firemaking outfit
for my own use Nearly every scout in
camp is very active, for there are almost
countless things to do every day.
There are boys from many different
troops here. and we all find good deal
of interest in associating with the differ
ent boys, many of whom we have never
seen before among the Boy Scouts.
Yours truly, L. FORBES.
