STEVENS CAMP
SCHOLARSHIPS
WE can't think of any decision in
a young man's life more import-
ant than his choice of a vocation. It is
particularly gratifying therefore to be
able to announce that Stevens Insti-
tute of Technology, Hoboken, New
Jersey, is again offering three Camp
Scholarships to Eagle Scouts in Re-
gions I, II and III—one scholarship
in each Region.
Stevens Camp, located at Johnson-
burg, New Jersey, was established for
the purpose of helping High School
students determine their life work and
help select the college best suited to
their needs. This is done by means of
vocational and other psychological tests
and by personal conferences with men
successful in engineering and other
fields.
The following statement from one
of last year's winners gives an idea of
the practical value of the camp. He
writes:
"When I arrived in camp I had a
very definite idea as to what kind of
a vocation I should follow. The tests,
however, showed that I am better
suited for a different type of work than
that which I had in mind. I am glad
that this fact was discovered before it
was too late."
Applicants for these scholarships
must be Eagle Scouts in Regions I, II
and III. The basis of eligibility is the
boy's Scouting record, character and
scholarship.
Camp opens on June 27th and closes
July 10th.
Many parents in your Council are
probably right now faced with the
problem of choosing a college for their
boy or trying to help him find his life
work, and you might do them a service
by telling them about Stevens Camp.
Stevens Institute will be glad to send
complete information on request.
GETTING YOUNG AGAIN
(Playing the ends and the middle)
Cubs, Cubs and More Cubs
Lively little rascals, all over the
large auditorium floor. They produced
a playlet with a "paper bag and blan-
ket" horse. They marched in with bu-
gles and drums blowing the walls out
—and a real drum major. They sere-
naded with a real 10-piece orchestra.
They played games and initiated some
dozen Cubs into the Pack. Their open-
ing ceremony and their closing cere-
mony were all that you would want to
see.
This was the Bloomfield, New Jer-
sey Pack No. 1 meeting last Wednes-
day night.
Scouts, Scouts and More Scouts
Lively larger rascals hiking eighteen
miles last Saturday. Nineteen of them
—all out to pass Fire Making, Cook-
ing, Tracking, Knife, Hatchet, Scout
Pace, Judging, Signaling and First
Aid.
Most of them did, although the Pa-
trol Leader's, Junior Assistant Scout-
master's and Scoutmaster's tails were
dragging a bit at the end.
These are the Scouts.
And here are the Explorers.
An intensive search for an Indian
cave where actual moccasins had been
found years ago. The cave proved to
be but a small crevice in the rocks.

However, this Broad River Explorer
Patrol found one more "Leather man's
Cave" and two Indian camp sites,
which they mapped. So passed Wash-
ington's Birthday with the Senior
Scouts.
A District Meeting, a Sea Scout
Bridge of Honor and the week had
flown. So pass the weeks for Old
Timer.
The Spirit of Youth.
Cubs—Scouts—Senior Scouts. You
are seeing our future America in the
making. You are renewing your youth
by keeping youthfully minded, by
keeping in contact with youth. The
ends, Cubs and Senior Scouts. The
middle, Boy Scouting. The result,
steadily increasing numbers of Scout
trained citizens.
BOYS' LIFE is a bridge to a treas-
ure trove, rich in Scout program ma-
terial. From Cubbing through to Ro-
vering there is material sparkling with
adventure—with things to do—things
to think about. Reading matter in the
tempo of the changing times—modern
—bright—boyish.
Take for instance Martin Johnson's
"Lions I Have Photographed," just
about the last article he wrote before
that fatal airplane crash.
Sailing over Africa in a camou-
flaged airplane he saw many wonderful
sights. He shot a film of a running
lion. This type of story could inspire
some camera inclined members of an
Explorer Patrol really to get right
down to "shooting" with a camera all
the wild life they can find.
"Jamboree or Bust" runs into its
third Part. "Wally" and "Chuck" and
even the stiff-necked cousin are getting
into real money and into exciting ad-
ventures. It's a good yarn for Boy
Scouts and Senior Scouts. It will open
up ways and means for some of your
Scouts to get more of what it takes to
go to the Jamboree. Page 12 BOYS'
