UNDIIEDS of thousands of Boy .Scouts
of America this summer and-fall have
enjoyorl' their camps all over the coun-
tr-y. Thoy had wonderful experiences.
and some' of these will be remembered7
all their Jives. For the time these boys-;
forgot all about cities and civilization
the -joys of swimming, ^ boating, mountain-
climbing and athletics of all kinds. Instruc-
tion In scouting was, of course, mingled with
..these sports. At . all of these, camps the scouts
ht|d a good time while gaining in health, self-
and eyervthing-that helr>s to prepare them
for the unselfish patriotic service which is the
aeroic, dream of every true scout in khaki.
flow far can the summer camp serve the ambi-
tious scout who wishes to advance in his tests?
Kow can the routine work of the camp be made
an Interesting matter of service to the caidp
community? On the trail of these and many re-
lated questions, several hunted camp directors
are working. It is clear that the best way to
teach camping Is to let the boy actually camp. The
presence or proximity of an experienced camper
will help him to learn the best way more readily,
and with less hazard, but the way itself is that of
the apprentice rather than tbe book student The
habit of self-reliance and of common sense can
best be developed in a camp where Instruction Is 1
.combined with hours aW days that thgOw the
boys on their own resources. ' -
Must Not Be Foolhardy.
Repeated warnings are being sent out by Scout
Pa.rto
scouts undertaking life saving not to venture on
foolhardy ventures, nor to make-useless sacrifices.
Scouts are likely unnecessarily to-endanger their
own lives. It must be made clear to' the Scout
that every person must be well able to swim if he
would save others from drowning. No one will be
considered n coward who is not able to swim and
who refuses to go to the aid of another in danger.
Mr, Ehler advises that every scout In the troop be
made a swimmer.
It is directed that each troop in camping .where
there Is water .enough to practice rightly, be di-
vided into victims and rescuers. - The boys must
be taught to practice on each other the various
"grasps" for carrying a person through the water.
Especial practice should be emphasized for break-
ing the "strangle hold." If the boys learn quickly
they will be ready for the lesson in. resuscitation.
What a variety of experiences these scouts had !
The camp of the scouts from North Dana, Mass.,
was on • Bafco -.Nesseponsett Near this lake Daniel
Shays encamped with 2,000 men in the famous
Shays' rebellion of 1786-87, so that it is historic
soil.i Here also once lived the notorious Glazier
Wheeler, a counterfeiter, and here he had a cave
Where he turned out spurious coin.
What Upon further exploration may develop into
one of the wonder, caves of. .Arkansas was„,discov-
ered near Qlenwood by boy 'scbuts. ^ is biigh up
the rocky face of the Burnham Mountain "cliff.
The entrance Is small, but opens Into an immense
room, from which a fissure extends downward to
a series of spacious chambers.'* The Arsenic caves,
25 miles west and the cave on Markham mountain,
.five miles northwest have long been points of ! •
ercst for visitors, but this seems to be the mother
vern of thttm alW ,
Forty scouts from Salt Lake City made the
trip to Wonder mountain. The trail leads up Provo
canyon, under forests of aspens, along rugged
predpices, skirting along clear mountain streams
and through miles of alpine flowers. Camp was
made at fimerold lake, which is covered with Ice.
Camfis at Squaw. Point,
A troop from New ifork city camped at Squaw
point oh .fh^ Hudson jriver. The experience to be
—3d the longest was the trip that T. J.
a local school teacher, took with tlie
troop on a dark night The trail 'led up a hill,
a swamp in a woods, in the field, over
gTT
along the Hackensack river. Having satisfied
their appetites the scouts ""turned in" for the night
Scout Coyte on awakening saw opposite his, face
a small, thick bundle, a colL Very quickly he
realized that it was-a; venomous- snake of the
~'coppeHi^"d""varTefy;^ he"ffiimst""
his arm upward to protect his head and neck. He
had not done so too quickly, however, for the
reptile had sprung "forward, burying l|s fangs
deep into the protecting arm, withdrawing as
quickly and wriggling off into the shrubbery alOng
the river bank.
Young Coyte awakened his companion and they
Improvised a tourniquet from his handkerchief and
a small stick. Realizing that the wound was not
flowing freely enough he cut into and around the
bite until It bled profusely. Emptying the contents
of a cartridge into the break in his flesh, he ap-
plied flame to the powder and withstood the tem-
porary pain. It Was later determined that he had
successfully offset the possibility of a fatal result
through his commendable presence of mind.. He
had'burnt all trace of poison completely from his
arm and in a few days was again back "at his job,
none the worse for his experienc®.
It Is a principle of the boy scout movement to
avoid secret ceremonies and initiations. Higb-
tensioned initiations are dangerous to boys in the
adolescent stage. The virtues of the ceremony
carried out, however, by the scout council for
Delaware and Montgomery countiesr,- Pennsylvania,
are so obvious, Its thrills so real^and yet reason-
able, that it can readily be used.
Their camp sit&A was occupied mahy years
ago by the Unami tribe of Indians. This tribe
had an initiation ceremony for Its young men
which has been preserved up to th& present day.
Scouts who have taken camp honors by doing a
specified amount of work in scoutcraft are given
this initiation under the direction of Ijl. Harring-
ton and Alonson Skinner of the Institute of Amer-
ican Indians of New York. The ceremonies are
performed by Amos Overbad, a Sioux Indian con*
nectr. -o institute. They are described qs

upon htm With ftvor,
pile hpfnre th<> chief, then shut the door curtain.
The chief then, announces, "Now we will purify
ourselves," and throws some cedar twigs on the
hot stones, then a splash of waterNupon.which a
sweet-smelling steam arises. He then cries, "Fire,
water, cedar—purify us," takes a stick from his
bundle and lays It aside, whereupon all the candi-
dates cry "Hooo." He then throws on more twigs
and another splash of water, then lays aside the
second stick-r-and so on until all the sticks have,
been laid aside, twelve in all, then pours en a lot
of water until the stones give no more steam.
Then the chief rises and says, "It is finished,"
and walks out followed by the others, and all
plunge Into the water. They emerge and dress.
A little1 later each candidate is approached by a
mysterious person In Indian dress and is led out
Into the dark woods, where. he finds a hideous
creature, the Mislngw, or Living Solid Face, boil-
ing a little kettle over a small fire. The Mislngw
cries. "Hon, Hon, Hon, Hon," and shakes his
rattle at the candidate, then dips him up a wooden
ladle full of the herb brexy;, which the candidate
drinks from a little wooden bowl. ....
- Breakfast Before Sunrise.
After all have taken this "black drink" they are
supposed to "sleep out" in the woods, if the
weather permits. Before dawn nest day they
-must' rise and get their breakfasts (preferably
prepare their own) and 'clothe themselves only in
a breechcloth and an old blanket. All breakfasts
must be eaten before sunrise, the "surf must not
See them eat on this day*of fasting."
When all are ready they line up before the chief
and the Oshkosh smear the face of each with
ground charcoal. Then the boys are taken out to
their posts, each out of sight of all the others, and
left to fast and meditate. * '/
About the^middle of the morning a strange man,
dressed as a farmer, and carrying a gun, ap-
proaches each boy. He announces himself the
owner Of the property and orders the boy off as a
trespasser. Four times he repeats this order,;
* then, failing, he goes on^o the next f boy.
At noon boys come along and stop near the
candidate's post to eat a sandwich or so—then
offer him one. Four times they offer him one to
eat, then failing, go on to the next boy.
Along In the afternoon the chief himself comes
out ostensibly to inspect the fasters; he looks
around to see if anyone is watching, then, tells the
boy confidentitthy that he has felt sorry for htm
and has smuggled him out a bite to eat Four
times he offers him food, and failing goes on to
the next This makes 12 temptations in alL
From time to time the Mislngw visits the posts
and peers at the candldatee from bushes or from
behind trees;
• After the sun goes down a whoop is raised, ait
which the candidates come In, wash the mourning
paint from their faces, dress in gala attire; eat
their supper and gather in the Big House, where

hearths swept with turkey-wing brushes. The chief
Is in gala attire, v- •• • half of his face

with his back to the west door of the Big Hons®

One by one the candidates come up before' him
and are solemnly admltfed to the tribe and thegr
painted.
When all have1 been taken Into the tribe, the
chief takes his place and an Oshkosh brings him a
bitndie of epeeCb sticks. Then he announces:
"1 will how read ft m these picture writings tM
