ing Boy Scouts Will Camp
Other Local and Social News

To camp where the pirates or
armies or Indians or the early set
tiers have camped before them is
always great pleasure to the
Young American and the selection
of old Castine, one of the historic
spots of Maine for the annual
camping ground of Troop Four of
the Baptist church is happy one,
for not in all the Atlantic coast
states is there more historic ground
than Castine, twice occupied by
British Troops, leaving behind them
Fort George which the boys will
explore to their hearts content.
They will peep into the dark old
dungeon where in years gone by
prisoners were kept; they will stand
on the high mounds now grassy and
smooth as parts of the Castire Club
golf links and instead of cannon balls
they will watch the little white golf
balls going. rolling over what used
to be a fortifcation to protect the
town. They will see the old Perkins
house built before the Revolution,
during which the owner was driven

Trask rock and hear the story of the
lad of Is and the landing of the
American soldiers in what was known
! as the Penobscot Bay expedition
Probably they will visit the light
house on Dices' Head, and beautiful
Wlnona Cliff and hear the Indian
legend. Castine abounds with his
toric lore and none of it will be lost
on these Belfast youngsters who viii

Kelley, formerly of Castine and now
of Belfast. They will have a cottage
and take tents for those who prefer
