On Tuesday morning thirty Of the
scouts at Camp Mitchell, under com
mand Of Deputy Scout Commissioner
Bull and Assistant Campmaster Lane,
started off in heavy marching order 90
visit the camp of Chief Scout Ernest
Thompson Seton. at Greenwich, Conn.
Tho boys hiked as far as Rye, when the
threatening weather forced them TO
finish the journey by trolley. They
were met on the road by Mr.. Seton,
who extended q welcome, but was
obliged TO be absent from the camp
during their stay. As the Scouts were
without tents they were obliged to find
shelter in an abandoned house, and on
account Of the heavy rain and numer-
Gus mosquitoes there was very little
sleep for any one. The officers re-
ported. however, that all the boys dis
played the true Scout spirit, and all
were bright and cheerful when they
returned TO Camp Mitchell the next
morning.
Scout Commissioner Alvin X. Wood
stock. of Neriden Conn, was guest
at camp last Sunday.
The boys at camp are now conduct
ing a daily newspaper in manuscript
known as "The Daily Parrot" the read
ing Of which is one Of the features Of
the evening camp fire.
