WILMETTE LIFE November 2, 1928 BOY-:. SCOUT NEWS A regular INttue ptlfll prep~~red of the North Shore Troops Attll .__ o1 t he BofJ &cou t Ptell club, North Shore each weele bg memoetl Council Land of Romance, Adventure. That's Newe~SroutCamp Adnntan>lnnd lies to the north. Less than 300 miles from the north shore towns lies the la nd of romance and adventure for the nearly-a -thousand Scout ~ of the north shore. The new camp site of 360 acre11 of timberland and water is located twenty miles northeast of Antigo. Wis .· and fourteen miles southeast of the little lumbering center of Elcho. "Tall Tlmbn" wa s one of the names suggested In ·the vote for a camp name. for in every direction, there stretches. miles of timberland. suitable for hikes and exploration trips. "Biae Wat8r" was the name suggested by one of the Scoutmasters, the moment he came around the bend of the road and saw Spring Lake stretched out before him with Its blue waters sparkling under the noon -day sun. The lake is almost a mile long and has a shoreline of over two miles of good beach and high dry shore. It will be possible to secure special talent to use In the Drogram of the camp next summer from among these neighboring Indians. Generous friends of Scouting who want to have a part In the building of a proJect which will help build rugged, manly characters, for many years to come, are ha vlng a part in the building of the camp fund. which will pay for the 360 acres of land and make possible the proposed developments. All friends of Scouting are invited to share In making these camp dreams come true. A mees hall and kitchen. sleeping quarters, cabins. Adironda<'k shacks and Indian tepees. together with dining-room tablea. a kitchen range, dishes, cooking utensils. pump, gasoline engine, water tank, tools, hammers, nalls, axes, pails, basins, lanterns. double decked steel cots. boats. canoes, swimming pier. and diving board, boat docks, and other activities equipment Is needed. It is planned to develop the camp in four units, each of these units equipped with a small cabin and smaJler sleeping Quarters surrounding it. Each of these four units will be equipped to take care of from twenty to thirty Scouts, a normal troop. This wlll mean that one of our local Scout troops under its own leaders. will take over one "Village" of the camp, thus preserving Its own unity and coming back home after a two weeks' experience at camp a much stronger troop than when it went, better equipped to work out a strong program for the year ahead. There wlll or course be the camp director, swimfng director, activities men, cook, and other general staff men to cooperate with the Scoutmaster as he carries on his own troop camp in either the Pioneer Village, The Water Craft Village, The Indian VUlage, or the Foresters Vlllage. "Tangled Trails" was another suggestion tor the name of the camp because ·t the hundreds of hiking trails and bypaths leading out in every direction from the new camp site. Only a mile and a half away scenic Wolf river joins forces with the Hunting river and goes leisurely 80Uthward. Scouts will go on hikes and treks and in addition. groups of advanced Qualified canoeists will go on trips down the Wolf river. l Hey Chef-When Do We Eat? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- Scout Executive Gives Impetus to Scouting in 1929 Scout Executive Walter McPeek is the author of the following "forward look" into the prospects for the development of Scouting In the North Shore Area Council during the years just ahead: 1929 -1\lorc troops - Additional troops may be formed by those institutions which have within their ranks or in their community, boys who desire to become Scouts and who will see to it that their troop has satisfactory supervision and leadership. The number of troops in north shore Scouting will grow directly as institutions desire to assume the responsibility to use the Scouting program. Better equipped troop leaders - The prime function of the Scout council Is to make possible a more resultful experience for troop leaders. Through Scoutmasters' training courses, the leaders' monthly Roundtable and by other means the hand of the volunteer leaders is materially strengthened. Developfn~ leadership power In boysScouting is a program of boys, !or boys, by boys carried on under the gmdance of men. Through the council, it is P<?Ssible for the Scoutmasters to poll the1r resources in the training of patrol leaders and other junior leaders of the various Scout troops. Jn(>reased fOmmltteeman responsibility - Each parent institution, conducting a Scout troop, appoints a committee of five mf'n to ~erve as the board of trustees of that troop, co-operating with the Scoutma~ter in order to make the richest possible experience available for Scouts. The council does much to stimulate the work of the various troop committees which are working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Scoutmaster. Crf'ntln~ a better understn.ndln~ One of the very noticeable results of the past two years and one of the challf'nges of the years ahead is the work of the men of the council in helping every man, wom:lll and child to have a better idE-a as to the bigness and richness of the Scouting method and program. The outreach of Rcouting Is not limited to boys alone, but is haYing a strong part in the touching of the lives of men, parents and friends of Scouting. ODe11lng our nort11em Wls(>onsln en mpThe big challenge of the year ahead and Drobably the biggest single project that our· council will undertake will come to pass during the summer of 1929 in the opening of the new North Shore Area Scout camp, where it Is planned that every troop will come for a period next summer. Your share-You have had a part In the progress of the North Shore Area council during the past two years. Naturally you will want to have a part in the new year, the council's biggest year which is just ahead of us. I This ia not a Hallowe'en prank-just a trio of our north shore Boy Scouts giving notice to the chef at the Cabin-in-the-Woods that it is high time "chow" were being served. The chef is not really as belligerent as might be expected. Scout Directory Pine Tree Patrol Has Its Own Headquarters The Pine Tree patrol of Troop 4. St. Augwstine's church.
