Walter Bennett. They made time
in tearing down the camp and were
all through and had the boats back
to Wilmington by Tuesday. The row
boats and canoes were stored in the
mess shack, and all the cutters and
motor boats brought TO Pusey and
Jones Company here, who offered
to store them for us. This viii give
the Seascout troops a chance to use
the boats providing they pass the

troop tho winner for the second
class was Ainsworth of Troop 26,
with % points.
There was big athletic meet also.
and AIahla won the most points In
that two with 80 points.
Then there was a practice day in
which the directors took the place
Of the scouts. and the scouts acted
as directors. Jimmie Wilson, Of
New Castle was camp director. and
Winnie Adams. officer of the day.
They had TO pass tests. do fatigue
work, etc, but some Of them could
not stand the strain and skipped
camp.

"Greenie" made fine progress with
the Nature Den. having it nearly
completed at the close Of camp. In
this den, the camp expects to care
for all animals birds and reptiles
which they capture in the future.
Mr. Green and several Of the scouts
collected quite a number OF butter
flies and moths. which Greenie
mounted. These mounts are on exhi-

worth seeing.

number OF selections. This quartette
is composed Of Messrs. Green. Fritz.

popular at camp.
The scouts worked fine on tests
and camp letters this year. and spe-
cial mention is made OF the buglers.
Scouts Mahla and Larkin OF the
Boothwyn Group. These boys each
got Is merit badges. making them
both life and star and the second
year white letters, and started on
the third year. This is certainly
fine work. and shows what those
Boothwyn boys can do.
There were two Fourth Year Cards
given out, one TO Edward Challenger
Of New Castle, and the other to Bus
Grove. Of Troop No. 2S. This is
only a small report OF the results at
Camp Caesar Rodney this year, and
