Last Friday the Washington Boy
| Scout headquarters moved to new
| quarters in the Vermont Building
northeast corner OF Vermont avenue
and L street northwest, where Scouts
and seoutmasters will find enlarged
accommodations and better equipment
that will make possible a more efficient
service. The Washington office has
been hampered for several years by
lack OF room for conferences and sup
plies. These new Offices will remedy
| that condition.
! 1t will be good news to all Scouts
that Assistant Deputy Commissioner
/ b. A. Bosarge viii be in charge of
camp affairs at the Woodrow Wilson
Reservation at Burnt Mills this Sum-
mer. Plans are already we'll In hand
for the seasons activities. Additional
equipment will be purchased provid-
ing tent shelter for more Scouts than
| heretofore and every effort made 10
| transform the reservation into the
| best overnight and short-term camp
in the country. Scouts at the reser-
walton will still be largely ION their
| nuYn'
food but it is hoped that arrange
ments can be made whereby Scouts
not wishing to do their own. cooking
may purchase meals at a moderate
cost, providing sufficient notice before
hand is given. Mr.. Bosarge will be on
| the Job within a few weeks, and the
camp will be open for the Summer
as soon as the schools close.
During the last few weeks the
! swimming pool has been deepened
and further work 10 eliminate the
| sand accumulation of the last few
years Will soon be undertaken. DR..
| Paul Bartsch, chairman of the camp
| committee of the council, is working
| strenuously for the improvement of
this beautiful Scout reservation.
| One week from tomorrow the Pho
neer Squad will leave for Camp
Roosevelt TO set up the camp and get
]
season. Registrations are showing
heavy increase since the issuing of
the camp prospectus. improvements
in equipment and program are GER
| ttin to make this a heavy year.
There Will be a staff OF more than
20 men and older boys this year, the
largest and best prepared group of
experts the camp has ever had; and
more good times and a better pro-
gram are in store because of the in
creased facilities.
