Sea Scout the organizations forty-fve-
foot motor boat. Just how many boys
can be comfortably carried on the craft

charge will be made for the boys who
returns home in this boat is also to be de-
cided. Should more boys desire to take
the trip than can be accommodated on
the boat they will be selected in accord
ance with their enrolment at camp.
The following letter was received by
Arthur C. Moses. president of the local
council, from James E. West, chief scout
executive. following visit which he
made to the camp:
Il am writing to express my enthuSi-
asm about and appreciation of the mag

say that Camp Archibald Butt will not
instill into the boys self-reliance and
might visit Camp Archibald Butt and
talk with DR.. Eastman but for few
moments. or better still remain at one
of his campfires and hear him tell the
