THOUGHT FOR SCOUT PATROLS.

There is nature club for boys in
Ontario which encourages members to
take the names Of native birds or an
imals, even fishes and reptiles, using
the Indian version of the name where
possible. Fortunately II does not re-
quire. the boys in every case to take
on the characteristics of their animal
names. But 1t might be good practice
In nature study to expect every mem
Der to be thoroughly informed upon
the species from which he takes his
club membership name. Each troop
of hoy scouts is divided into patrols
each with a distinguishing name of
natural object, usually some wild an
imal, and the editor OF scouting" In
commenting on the Ontario clubs idea,
says that this easily leads to the sug-
gestion that patrol names might be
utilized far more than they are, as a
starting point for definite lines of ma
ture study, leading up to interesting
evenings when members of patrols
present for the benefit of all peculiar
facts about the birds or animals rep
resented in the patrol name.

SCOUTS IN WINTER CAMPS.

Winter camping for the Boy Scouts
Of America is at last becoming more
popular than summer camping.
Amongst the entire membership OF
nearly 100000 boy scouts In the
United States last summer, 100000
were enrolled for summer camps, and
already the national headquarters has
received reports indicating that the
number enrolled for winter camps and
weekend camps during the winter
months will exceed 100000 members
OF the organization. During the
Christmas holidays 165 boy scouts
from Greater New York encamped at
Kanohwahke Lakes In Interstate
park, which is the site of the largest
boys camp in the world. where nearly
10000 boys camped throughout the
last summer season. This is the
largest number of scouts that ever
went camping together in the middle
of winter in the northern states.
AT the same time there were winter
holiday boy scout camps in Pawtucket,
X. l.; Lancaster and Wilkes-Barre, Pa:
Omaha and Minneapolis. These were
what are known as "snow camps" At
the same time there were many camps
In the southern and milder climates,
including Miami, Fla; Birmingham.
Ala; Los Angeles, and in many other
sections of the South. In the ex-
IRENE South 1t has been found that
the winter months are preferable to
the summer months for camping and
there the principal training camps Of
the year are held in these months.
There are many reasons why winter
camps in the North are becoming SO
popular. They give opportunity for

At about the same hour Neddy

Nature study gives the boys an en-

enough to identify a tree in summer
time when it Is in full leaf, but it is
an entirely different thing to distin-

to track and study animals in winter
