Inclosed Is someinformation regarding
our summer camp. sum Kamp," as II
is called, consists Of a large one-room
building with a spacious porch. on
which the dining table is placed. Large
awnings extend around the edge Of the
porch. There are also two wall tents,
each Of which accommodate ten boys.
Water is secured from an artesian
well which has been proven chemically
pure. The white sand beach Is about
100 feet wide, and the surf is high when
the wind is blowing. There is a long
pier for the boats to tie to, and which
is also used as a landing for our two
sailing canoes, one OF which has won
the championship for sum Kamp."
We made a pilgrimage to Washing

and placed floral decorations on the
monument there. Half Of the boys are
going back to the city this week, but
the rest Of US will stay here all sum-
mer. We will be Joined by other scouts.
Fresh vegetables are procured from
neighboring farms, and we have an ex-

been doing some very consistent train
ing this year. are arranging to give an
entertainment at some convenient point
in the city about the middle OF next

we believe are a distinct addition to
scoutcraft The boys of this troop have

places where no white woman had ever
been before.
