GOOD CAMPING
A KALEIDOSCOPIC succession of bugle
notes, swims, overnight hikes, "eats," canoe
trips, Scout Requirements, fishing, more swims,
and the final thrill of a huge camp fire at night.
<J Scout camps are unique. They are imbued
with that intangible something called "the Spirit
of Scouting." Under good Scout leadership our
camp program, with its continuous problems in
everyday conduct, is developing desirable Scout
character in a most practical manner on a
nation-wide scale. The right choices made
in our camp life, from day to day, develop
trends of instinctive good conduct, and in turn
this behavior, as it follows along the trail of good
Scouting, is building sound character and good
health. €f Here is a real challenge to us as
Scouters! Our camp program will stand or fall
ON THE QUALITY OF ITS LEADERSHIP,
tjf Today these camping scenes are real, tan-
gible. Tomorrow they will be merely happy
memories. Not only memories, however, but
something greater, something permanent in the
lives of thousands of boys. <J May we carry
on the high adventure of these camp experiences,
so that in the entire twelve months of the year
we shall have the continuous inspiration of
GOOD CAMPING!
