It is planned to develop the next summer camp in four units, each of these units equipped with a small cabin and smaller sleeping quarters surrounding it. Each of these units or "villages" will be equipped to take care of from twenty to thirty Scouts, a normal troop. This will mean that one of our local Scout troops, under its own leaders, will take over one "village" of the camp, thus pre.;erving its own unity and coming back home after a two weeks' experience at camp a much stronger troop than when it went, and better equipped to work out a strong program for the year ahead. There will. of course, be the camp director, s\\'imming director, activities men,· cook, and other f;eneral staff men to co-operate " ·ith the Scoutmaster as he carries on his own troop camp in either the Pioneer Village,· The \Vatercraft Village, The Indian Village, or the Foresters Village. Generous friends of Scouting who want to have a part in the building of a project which will help develop rugged, manly character for many years to come are having a part in the building of the camp fund, which will pay for the 360 acres of land and make possible the proposed developments.

North Shore Scouts May Attend Jamboree in London Next Year About 1,000 American Scouts will sail next July to participate in the World Jamboree, being held just outside of London . Negotiations are under way by Scout officials, to charter a section of a ship to arrange a special train with stop-for-Scout lunch to provide for supervi:;ion and leadership where councils will have less than eight Scouts attending. It is suggested that whenever eight or more Scouts go from a council that an adult leader accompany them. While no definite plans have been made as yet, north shore Scout leaders are very c~refully inve3tigating the oroject. The total cost will be about $400 or $500. In a bulletin issued from Scout headquarters last week, Scout Executive McPeek urged all Scouts who are going to Europe with their families next summer, to arrange to take in the hig Worlrl Jamboree.
