All plans and details at the Me
mortal bridge celebration have bee
arranged for by Mr.. Ernst OF tn
Community Service. Services OF
number of scoutmasters and scout
are required for guard duty at tina
time.
You are requested to have you
scouts report in Brandywine Park
near the grand stand. as soon a
possible after lunch. TO cooperate
with the Community Service II
holding the crowds back and pre-
venting them from coming up tn'
| hill through the Zoo. This Is
man-size Job and all the scouts tha'
we can get together can be used fol
the purpose.
Those scouts who were asked "a
report for the pageant will report
at places where they have been IN
structed to meet. Those scouts thai
have first aid pouches should bring
them along and be ready to render
service at any time should they be
called.
Now that the new camp site has
been settled upon and preparations
are going forward to have this open
on Saturday, July l. It should be the
duty of every scoutmaster to boost
the Council camp and see that MS
scouts have their registrations sent
to the office at an early date.
On a trip to Red Point one even
ing this week the Scout Executive
was talking with one of the fisher
men who IS thoroughly acquainted
with that section of the camp prop
erty known as the Beaver Dams. He
said: That place is so thick and
wild that II a man gave me 500 l
wouldn't go through 1t. Man, there
are snakes and lizards In there big
enough to swallow a horse. don't
know whether there are any re-
mains of the work done by the
beavers which are supposed TO nave
built the dams that are in this part
Of the woods but do know there
are thousands OF trees that nave
been cut down and are laying al
through that part OF the woods, and
It wasn't done with an axe, either.
This bit of conversation opens up
a wonderful possibility for explora-
ton parties through that part OF
Beaver Dam and up into the hills
which drives away from the camp.
Plans have been made TO build
signal towers on Bull Mountain ana
the Black Hill. which are far
enough away from camp to make
ideal hiking points. These towers
Will enable the hiking party TO keep
In touch with camp and at the same
time give excellent practice in the
use OF all methods of signalling.
AT least 45 different kinds Of birds
have been sighted near where the
camp will be located, offering an
other possibility for a keen study OF
Dur little feathered friends. Those
people that have seen the camp site
are perfectly wild over it and It is
limited that this will be a perma-
aent location for Camp Caesar Rod
ney.
The Rotary, the Lions and the
Kiwanls Clubs are back OF this
camp and assure us that
everything will be done to make 1t
A success. Mr.. Quinn says the camp
will be a banner one for the Will
mington scouts. Mr.. Grier, direc-
tor of special activities. is loud In
his praises OF the summer camp and
sees wonderful possibilities for spe-
eial activities among the hills and
woods of Elk Neck and the won
derful program OF water activities
han was ever heretofore held.
This weeks bulletin has enclosed |
a copy OF the new camp circular
which should be read at your next
.roop meeting and the scouts urged
o call at the office for one for them
selves. The bulletin carried very I
good description OF the camp, Civ
ng full information regarding reg
STATIONS and cost and directions OF
low to get there. Special attention
ihould be called TO the paragraph
leaded visitors" Make It emphat-
c to the scouts that visitors are not
desired at other times than those
pecified in the camp folder. A list
4 articles necessary for the camper
an be found on the last page OF the
older. Most generally scouts take
90 many things with them at camp :
nd are constantly losing them. II
yould be a good idea to instruct
our boys 10 have camp box with
lock and key and every article
marked plainly with his name, so
$ to avoid any losses or chances Of
aving his equipment mixed with
omeone else's. The camp fee Of
4 so does not begin to pay for the
ost of the camp but is low enough
D enable every boy to attend for at
east one or two weeks. Applica-
ons may be had at scout headquar-
,rs now. The slogan of this years
