wildered. Act PA reproduction of

SCOUTS IN CAMP IN WINTER
ted bV NatlOHdI COu1CII UI pIl
Boy Scouts of America.)

\
The boy scouts are encouraged to
camp out in cold weather as much as
possible.
On these winter excursions the boys
are instructed how to make their out
ings novelty in spite of the adverse
conditions that prevail. The scouts
carry their own food and at night live
in tents.
It has been pointed out BY the de-
partment of camping that the winter
camp offers many interesting features
that cannot be enjoyed in any Other
season of the year for recreation and
education for the boys.
The necessity of teaching the scouts
woodcraft in the winter is essential In
the studies of scoutdom, and during
these excursions the scouts receive In
struction in the art of building camp
fires, the preparing of shelters and
comfortable hunks to house them in
bad weather, and other outdoor stud
ies.
One of the main features suggested
for the camp is the 'transplanting of
trees. During the winter, which is
more favorable for transportation, this
craft can be carried out on more ex-
tensive scale.
The tracking and trailing of fur
bearing animals in the snow, and all
kinds of winter sports, such as ice
skating, ice boating and skiing can
usually be INDUCED in.
