quarters Returns from 1913 cities
and towns yet unheard from. This
shows great work on the part Of the
scouts and would have been stronger

Scouting and service are synony-
nous. Our motto BE Prepared"
chosen seven years ago, is being put
TO the acid test, but the scouts
throughout the entire country are
proving daily that their training Is
most valuable and at this time Of
national stress, when war Is upon us,
our government has such an orgsniz-
alton as the Boy Scouts of America
on which 10 call for service, and on
which It Is calling locally and nation
ally for work. with the full belief and
assurance that this great movement
can do with its 2S5,000 members pa
triotic duty Of a class unsurpassed.
The Boy Scouts Of America can and
will do anything which could reason

Scouts expecting to attend the
Wilmington and State Camp for reg
istered scouts should be getting in
their reservations for accommodation
at the camp. Scouts. this camp is, as
you have been told. located on the
best bass fishing spot in the State
with unlimited possibilities for all
phases Of scouting. A long pier out
10 good depth water for swimming
and diving is 10 be constructed; ca
noes and boats for the scouts who
like fishing will he provided; there
are so many good things about this
camp that we cannot begin to tel
them. The best way TO learn just whai
is TO be done is to register and at
tend this camp.
The Good Turn" tokens will bt
ready within a few days. The reason
they have not been presented to the
scouts is from the fact that tbs
manufacturers failed to number them
Il was necessary that they should b'
numbered so that they could be reg
istered and account recorded OF eacl
in case OF loss. A neat little certih
cate will accompany this token which
can be inserted in the scouts member
