from a weeks camping at Chan
Owapi on Wildwood lake, with some
line coats Of tan and an aggregate

Records show that the girls gained
IRON one-half to six pounds during
the week.
It was an eventful week. the girls
report, with work In nearly all
branches Of scoutcraft crammed into
the seven days. On the first night at
camp a heavy rain and wind-storm
threatened to tear down the tents,
but all were kept up and dry through
the quick work of the counsellors.
Conducted for the first time as a
registered Girl Scout camp, all Scout
regulations were carefully adhered to.
Miss Harriet Rust was camp director
and all activities were carried out
under the direction Of the counsellors.
The camp was sponsored by the
Girls Council.
Work In nature study was in
charge of Dorothy Moses, assistant
director, with Mary Cave as the in
structor in Scout lore, Eula Cameron
IN handicraft, and Dorothy Petron in
tramping and trailing. Katherine
flanagan, Mandan, was swimming in
structor. Other members of the
camp staff were Muriel Cauthers, r.
NJ. camp nurse, and Mrs. Matilda
Campbell, camp cook.

the patrol leaders of each troop, was
the governing body in camp. Miss

served AZ chairman and members
were Evelyn Anderson, Evangeline
Kelly, Aletha Dewitt, Ruth Christian
son, secretary; Lois Riggs, Dolores
Tekippe and Mary Louise Finney.
Each day n patrol leader served
rs officer of the day, while that tent
passing the best inspection served as
color guard for the day following. On
n final day each tent had a perfect
score and it va decided to permit
NO. 4, which had made an outstanding
record both as campers and for origi-
nality, to serve as the color guard.
Camp duties, known as capers, daily
were assigned to each tent, with the
remainder OF the time given over to
swimming and other scout work. Iue
to the dryness Of the year, it was nee
essary for the girls to swim at the
