IWenty-slx Scouts and four
Scouters have registered as mem.
zers OF the Worlds Fair troor
which will leave for New York the
18th OF this month, it was announc-
ed yesterday by David L. Lilies,
executive of the Cape Fear Area
council.
Last year the service camp, al
which the boys will camp and en-
JOY the fair from the standpoint Of
service, operated from April % tc
October 81, and during that time
1904 Scouts and Scouters of 81
states, the Canal Zone and the Dis.
trict of Columbia participated ir
the camp. A total of "a, 712 meals
were served and proclaimed by the
boys as excellen food. The clean
illness and sanitation of the camr
was noted by everyone who visited
adm saw the surrounding pleasant
conditions of the location.
This year the service camp will
be maintained in the same name,
as last years successful camp. L
opened May II and will continue
in operation until October q. +
will be organized on the basis o.
four troops, each consisting of siz
patrols of six boys each with Sen.
ior Patrol leaders, two assistant
Scoutmasters and a Scoutmaster il
charge of each group. There will
be accommodations at the camp
for approximately 100 Scouts anc
Scouters at one time, and each
group will be at the camp for g
period of seven days.

tered, for at least n full year
Immediately preceding the m e
they join the camp on the fair
grounds.
Each must be the kind of a
Scout who has had camping exper-
fence and demonstrated to his
Scoutmaster his ability to take care
of himself.
DR.. James E. West, chief scout
executive, said Of this movement:
ut is because of this fine sense
Of responsibility on the part of
Scouts that officials last year pro-
nounced the Boy Scout camp to be
a really valuable asset to the New
York Worlds fain and it is be-
cause of the fine record Of you
boys in Scouting that the boys at
the fair were called upon to per-
for valuable services. And the
Scouts who attend the camp this
year will be called upon to render
similar service. There is always
pleasure and inspiration in render
ing service anywhere; especially
pleasant r. the duties of tn e
Scouts at the Worlds fair. AS 1
mentioned before, there were 2,765
calls for the services of Scouts last
year and they covered a variety of
very agreeable occupations. T h e
main service was, and will be
again this year, that of acting as
orderlies for special groups who
visit the Fair and participating in
impressive ceremonies in the Court
OF Peace as well as acting as aides
for Worlds fair officials. Last year,
however, numerous emergency
calls were sent out for the service
of Scouts; as for instance the one
on the occasion of the visit of their
Majesties, the King and Queen Of
England.
cat almost the last minute before
the day Of the official visit of the
English royal couple it was decided
to present to all visitors on that
day a memento of the occasion in
the form of a handsomely printed
card. These cards were printed
overnight, 300, 900 of them, a n
were not available until the opening
of the fair next morning. With very
short notice the Scouts were called
upon to take charge of the distribu-
ton of these cards, which they did
with great dispatch by standing at
all the entrance gates and present
ing one to each entrant to the Fair
grounds"
