What are you Scouts doing for the
coming camp? This will be located
about one and a half miles from Odes-
sa toward Middletown, and will be
in one of the widest sections of the
State. The Executive and Mr.. Quincy
were down to look over the site last
Monday and arrange for the location.
Scouts, when l described the site to
you in one Of our former letters put
1t mild. This place offers the greatest
possibilities for scouting and camp
ing. The lake is about one mile long
and empties into branch OF the Della
ware. This will be fine for swim
ming as the water in the lake offers
deep water diving and for those who
may not be able to swim the spot
Just below the lake has a nice sandy
bottom. Both sides of the stream are
covered with a growth of trees and
will be just the place for stalking
game and treasure hunts.
A meeting Of all the Patrol Lead
ers is called. at Headquarters, for Sat
urday, the 14th. See that your troop
is represented at this meeting.
To show how we'll il pays to be
prepared" we give the following: A
superintendent of the Primary De-
partment of a Sunday school, with
which one of the troops is connected,
made arrangements to have a lady
give a talk on The Flag" to the
children on Flag Sunday. On that
Sunday the lady was sick and could
not respond. The superintendent sent
to the main school and requested one
of the patrol leaders of the Church
= Troop to give the. talk, and he did.
We are informed that he gave an in
teresting talk to the children. He was
prepared" and therefore did credit
to the Troop and Scouting.
The kernel Of the Scout movement
is scoutcraft.
Are you doing your duty as a

DO you attend your troop meetings

you get out of il?
