WINTER CAMP FOR
SCOUTS ARRANGED
Four Day Winter Camp Offered
to Twenty-Five First-Class
Boy Scouts

Beginning soon, twenty-five win.
ter campers will journey out under
the leadership of Scout Executive
George E. Sutton. Boy Scouts from
the Minnesota Valley Area Council
will have this opportunity.
Camping in winter is sport un-
excelled! What with secluded cab
in deep in a thick forest, snow and
hills on which to hike and ski, ami
mails of many kinds to track and
photograph, outdoor winter games
demanding strong hearts and quick
minds-and last but not least-plenty
of rich, warm food to fill empty stom-
achs-there is every reason for feel
ing the thrill of adventure when
"Winter Camp" is mentioned.
Attended last year by dozen
Scouts from Mankato and st. James,
the camp this season will be open to
25 First-class Scouts.
The Scouts will, Of course, do their
own cooking, and those who are pro-
ficient will be awarded the Cooking
Merit Badge. 1t is planned that each
day there will be different type OF
outdoor hike with the noon-day meal
cooked outside amidst the cold and
snow. This will present real chal-
lenge to the youthful campers-and
yet the fact that it is difficult makes
it just that much more Of an adven-
ture.
Another attractive feature of the
program in store for the youthful
"arctic explorers" will center around
the indoor evening campfire pro-
grams. After the dishes are thru
such handicrafts as leather working,
fire-by- -flint-steel, archery craft, and
wood carving will be eagerly partici-
pated in by all. Articles made will
remain the property of each Scout,
and many interesting souvenirs OF
the "Winter Camp" are assured.
The interesting features already
mentioned combined with making pop
corn, pulling taffy, singing, and story
telling are sufficient to guarantee to
every First-class Scout who is fortu-
nate enough to be among the chosen
25, four-day vacation which he long
will remember and associate with
those glorious days when he was
Boy Scout.

tempts. Worsech made his only
shot, Peterson sunk out of at
tempts with Johnson getting out of
