SCOUTS GET COMPLETE CAMP.
Twenty-three acres of land. fifteen
| bins with hunks for eight Scouts each,
a magnificent pier. two spring boards
and a diving tower and a mess hall
| 60x1o0 feet. have been presented 10 the
Boy Scouts by the Rotary and Kiwanis
! Clubs. This is perhaps the finest camp
owned by Boy Scouts any where in the
! United States
The big fireplace and chimney made
| entirely Of boulders. the long piazza
overlooking the lake. the twelve row
boats each named for one Of the Scout
laws. and the many other splendid fea-
lures make this camp ideal
bag your pardon. l did not say that
il belonged to Hammond Scouts Nc
boys. our good angel as yet has not ap-
| peared. This wonderful camp and equip
ment was given to the Boy Scouts OF
Flint. Mich
! But Hammond Scouts are as worthy
as those of Flint or any other town
where the business men have been made
| to see the great value Of Investment
like this And our business men ar
Just wild awake and Of the Same his
calibre as those who have done these
things elsewhere Our turn will com
soon. It's up to US TO show what i,
means to be a real Scout. They viii
do their part.
WHAT WE NEED NOW.
For the proper conduct OF our week
end and winter camp we should have
a hut or cabin suitable for twenty-five
| boys. We have a tentative location and
could start operations at once If tho
material for the cabin were at hand
Hammond Scouting has always beer
seriously handicapped BY the lack Of
facilities for overnight and weekend
| camps. Akron, Ohio. has a wonderful
cabin which has been featured in NOV.
ing pictures all over the country East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor each have
such equipment-gift Of local business
| interests.
! Mr.. Business Man there is no way
| that you can do more for the future
| Of Hammond and the betterment of its
people than by investing in the Boz
Scout movement. The Scout movement
! if properly backed. will prevent in tn.
future such terrible events as Hammond
has witnessed recently
If the Goodyear people can furnsf
four monster trucks and tents and cook
ing equipment for fifty boys and senc
them from Ohio to Maine. returning b.
| Boston and New York. a trip lastins
seventeen days. surely some OF tn.
larger business interests Of Hammond
can and will build the Scouts a camy
suitable for weekend and winter work
