tab, Whitman, and Benewah counties
may attend the third annual scout
encampment at Camp Grizzly this
summer, according to plans now
made by the executive heads of the
Palouse council.
Two years ago, at the first camp,
about so scouts and executives pio-
neered the project, and the success of
this camp was clearly indicated when
200 attended. The encampment will
also be extended over a six weeks
period, from June II to July 29, to
allow scouts to attend from periods
of one to six weeks. Expenses are
nominal, the fee for a two weeks
stay being only ten dollars, with ad-
ditional periods of one week at five
dollars, or two weeks at nine dol
lars.
Any registered scout in any troop
of the three counties is eligible to at
tend camp. Each community will fur
nish cars for local troops, as has
been done in the past, and the camp
truck will meet any who come on
trains at Harvard, Idaho, and carry
them into camp
Every effort is being made to give
real training in scout craft and
workmanship to the boys attending.
F. D. Hawley, scout executive for the
Palouse council, has charge of all ar
rangements, and L. B. Williams, vet
eran scoutmaster and woodsman, Will
have charge of the daily camping
program as camp director.
Mr.. Williams is planning many new
features for this years camp that
were not offered last year, and an
able body of scout executives will be
there to assist him. The half dozen
Eagle scouts that are in the Palouse
council will also act as assistants.
Camp Grizzly has been we'll picked
for an undertaking of this kind. 1t
is situated on the Palouse river about
80 miles east of Palouse, in the st.
Joe national forest. 1t is natural
clover meadow, entirely surrounded
by pines, with swimming and hiking
facilities close at hand
There is also great deal of his
torical significance connected with the
spot. In the same locality Indians
of the Palouse, Coeur d'Alene, Nez
Perce. and Blackfoot tribes often
gathered either in battle array, or
to pick berries, with their goods slung
on travois behind mustangs.
Later came the bearded placer
miners. leading pack trains to the
gold deposits of Poorman's creek,

Inns Cree trappers took beaver pelt-
ries in bales from the meadows near [
camp The hunter, the lumberjack,
and the herder followed these. 1t is
on this ground that Camp Grizzly
now stands.
AS an incentive to the scouts at
tending camp, the Order OF Grizzlies
has been formed. Any scout will be
eligible to this group who does every
camp duty thoroughly and cheerfully,
does his best to live up to the scout
law. and makes satisfactory progress
in scouting. In addition to this, the
rank of Silvertip will be given to
any scout who in addition to the re-
ouirements of Grizzly, has benefltted ,
The camp by his action, and who took
q position Of leadership while in at
tendance.
Many new improvements have been
made at the camp site since last sum-
mer. The Moscow Elks lodge has pur-
chased a dozen large tents for the
scouts: stoves will be built in each OF
,hese. a new mess hall will be erected, lo
and new we'll will be dug.
Plans have been made to allow the
parents Of any boys attending camp
