Scout Frederick Drexell. Detroit
Mich. left camp this Monday for the
New England States. Drexell came
over one thousand miles 20 attend the
Delaware Scouts camp and stayed
Two weeks, while in camp he made
many friends.
Evidently the scouts and scoutmas-
ters Of Wilmington do not appreciate
their annual camp for there are hard
" enough scouts in camp 10 warrant
The keeping Of it open. Should they
know Of the advantages and benefits
to be had by attending this camp
there would not be room to accommo-
date them. There should from a city
The size OF Wilmington. be at least
forty or fifty scouts in camp each
week Quite a number OF the scouts
are putting on their registration un-
iii the last two weeks These fellows
are the ones who will no doubt miss
It because there will be no one en-
lertained who has not presented his
application at the office.
Week end visitors are requested TO
register the same as the scouts at
The Office on account Of having re-
fervation MAIDS for them Last Shtur-
day there were several who had to
sleep on the ground or floor of the
tents on account Of the fact that they
were not expected and no room had
leen made for them.
The ONCE is sending out to each
scout a letter and camp folder for ap-
plioatious to the camp. Remember
that thS camp cannot be kept open
with only a few scouts in attendance.
The camp. is scheduled TO run for
seven weeks This Is the beginning
nf the third and not half the number
In camp as there should be.
Games and camp fires are the mos
interesting activities for the scouts
This week there was game called
Light the enemy's FIRE" The scout
we're divided into two groups with {
leader for each and sent 10 a nearby
wood where the fire was laid but not
lighted Guards were placed around
each fire and scouts sent out TO light
the fire of the opposite party, The
woods where these scouts play these
games is the prettiest that can be
found In this part OF the State and
Just the pace for such games. The
scouts began stalking one another anu
when IN comes a scout with a pris-
oner. These were actual captures.
Some OF the smaller scouts we're on
the Job and a little noisy when the
alarm was sounded that a bull was
coming toward the FIRE. There was the
greatest scramble for the trees that
you ever saw. Nearly everyone went
up a tree much 10 the delight OF Fritz
and the executive After the excite
ment had died down a little and the
bull was not in sight they began to
come down one al a time very much
disappointed and embarrassed be.
rsuse Of the fact that a joke had been
played on them.
A snipe hunt Is booked for an early
date. This and hunting bee trees
forms one Of the best camp stunu
for the new fellows There IS goo,
material this week for all these game
and stunts
One OF the most interesting cam
fires yet held was that OF Monda
night. The scouts were seated In thel
usual circle and songs were sun
and yells yelled New songs wey
taught the new scouts and after
short while The director announce
that each scout present was to tell
story. In other words Il was a stoi
telling contest Every scout with u
exception Of two had a story for n
entertainment Of the others. Your
Sbritsky displayed great talent
this line and had his fellow campe
aughing for quite a long time.
Il has been repeatedly announc,
that there Is a ceremonial camp ri
each Friday night for the, benefit
