IN CAMP AND 3 TO FOLLOW
Boy Scouts Left Tuesday For
Two Weeks Stay In Barracks
On Deep Creek Lake Shore

With a total of thirty-six Scouts
and officers, Oakland Troop, No. l,
Boy Scouts of America, are now in
camp in their headquarters on Deep
Creek Lake, having left Oakland on
Tuesday morning for their annual en-
campment of two weeks. The camp
this year is the largest that has ever
been held and three more Scouts are
expected next week. Only two Scouts
who are eligible for camping privil-
eyes are not now in camp, according
to Scoutmaster Scott Shirer.
The equipment was moved to camp
in trucks donated for the purpose by
the West Penn Power Company, G. A.
Fraley & Son, D. M. Dixon & Son, w.
E. Shirer, C. N. McIntire. Those who
furnished cars for transportation of
the Scouts from their headquarters in
Oakland to the camp were Mrs. j. c.
Kendall, T. A. Gender, Floyd Stahl,
Playford Naylor.
Camp Activities.
The first day at camp was devoted
to digging in," and despite the soggy
condition of the weather the camp
routine has been fully carried out, the
Scouts using the barracks for study
and indoor sports. The new buildings
and general camp improvements made
possible by those interested in Scout
ing in the community, are claimed by
the Scouts to answer every require
ment and they are loud in their praise
of the new facilities and also of the
new cook, William Turney, who, ac-
cording to the boys "surely knows his
stuff"
Wednesdays and Sundays are visit
ing days and the troop has extended
a very cordial invitation to the people
of the community to visit them on one
of these days. Rev. A. ]. Torrey,
former Scoutmaster of this troop, ar
rived in camp Tuesday evening for
lwo days visit. Rev. Torrey is now
Chief Scoutmaster of Logan county,
West Va, and with him are four
Scouts of his troop. His visit came
as a complete surprise, but was a
most welcome one.
