 No Camp Site Yet
 The camping committee reported that it had work d hard and covered several thousands of miles in Con- necticut in search of a camp site to replace the present unsatisfac- tory one at Jobs pond, Portland. We hope soon to have a definite announcement" the committee stat ed. ''and we bespeak cooperation 'n the part of all troop leaders. Un- less this is done we feel that our camping season must be curtailed considerably.
 Camp Keemosahbee was con- ducted for seven weeks from July ? to August 20. The first two weeks of this period were open to non. scouts. Of the 49 camping days more than half were wet This in- fluenced the attendance to some extent. as at least half a dozen scouts who had enrolled did not show up. Nostalgia was the cause of two quitting. and We believe the weather had something to do with this.
 Our total attendance at camp vas 79 different boys with total scout week unit attendance of 21e. Many boys heightened their stay and this increased our weekly aver- age from 23 last year to 2.7 this year.
 Six scoutmaste-s and assistants also attended camp for period of week or more during the camp season.
 Every boy received q free med lcal examination before leaving r camp. Upon his arrival at camp he was also given T physical test and weighed in. Upon weighing out we find that 52 povs had gained to- tal of 16o pounds. IS held their own
