October S-Boothwyn Field meet
A description OF the La croix
Camp-France-T camp was To-
Gated on the eastern shore Of the
Auise. about four miles from Com
peiene. the place where Joan OF
Arc was captured. imprisoned and
burned TO the stake after her heroic
work in leading the French army.
The Auise is a river connecting the
many canals throughout the coun-
try and is used for inland transpor-
tation. The queer little tug boats
with large barges in tow were pass
ing the camp every day. Many,
many years ago this same river
now very narrow, was traversed by
the ships of the galley type and
Vikings in their many attacks on
Paris. A pier with tower, about IL
feet. took care Of the diving and on
account OF the depth OF the Auise,
near the shore, a swimming pool had
to be made for those youngsters
Who could not swim. The French
bows do not take readily to the wa
ter. but after they learn to SWIM
they are eager for all kinds OF games
only one period, OF two weeks, was
used for boys at this camp. The
other periods being for older fellows
whom France has to look upon for
leaders in scouting.
The set up OF the camp had to be
governed by the layout OF the site
so it was longer than camps which
we are used to having, with tents
enough TO take care Of 250 each pc
riod. Each tent was equipped with
three iron cots, straw pallets and
blankets. so that the boys did not
have to furnish these; four smaller
tents took care OF the provisional
scoatmasters. A Canadian marquee
was used for headquarters with three
wall tents on either side for leaders.
. large French hospital tents were
used for mess tents and museum,
large fly for garage and a marquee
for stores; several smaller tents took
care OF the cooks. chauffeurs, etc.
making sixty-three tents in all, with
a large parade ground in front OF
the tents, along the river. The lay
out was much like a large eagle
flying
Beside teaching these leaders the
rudiments Of the scouting program
so as TO enable them TO handle
troops. practical demonstrations in
all activities as we know them were
made. A French leader was appoint
ed for each period. known as the
chef de Camp" who was instructed
in the work OF directing camps so
that they might carry on after the
camps closed. As a direct result
Of this intensive training a group of
Belgium scout men returned TO
Brussels and opened camp Of 1913

famous DR.. A. De Page told me that
before this they had never had a
camp and without this visit to la
