If living is knowing, let us then while +we camp, learn to know the great out-of-doors, +and at the same time take advantage of being +together, and learn to live as Scouts.</p> + +<p>It is hoped that this little book will help to +solve many problems which arise when planning +for and running a camp, particularly a Girl +Scout camp.

Whether +it is made to accommodate a small group or an army, all +who gather in it must have certain dominant needs provided +for. They must eat, sleep, work, play, keep themselves +and their surroundings clean, and live the group +life. How these needs are met depends on the individual +who makes and executes the plans. One knows how to make +his camp comfortable, practical and hospitable wherever +it is, and regardless of materials used, meeting all of his +daily needs, while another, glorying in simplicity <i>for a +while</i>, does without comforts which could easily be obtained. +Still another casts off all law and order, to say +nothing of many necessities, during his stay in the open.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span></p> + +<p>But when planning a camp for girls who are to receive +the greatest benefits from living out of doors, and living +together, there is no reason why their environment should +not be made pleasing to the eye, of benefit mentally, a +comfort to the body, and in accord with the best known +laws which govern camping.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Work of the Planning Committee</div> + +<p>There are specific responsibilities to be borne by Councils +or Committees who undertake to promote and establish +a Girl Scout camp. The most important of these +are first, to secure the money for the initial cost, and second, +to obtain a Director. The subsequent work of the +Committee will be determined almost entirely by the +character and capacity of the Director chosen.</p> + +<p>The prime requirement for a Camp Director is that she +be able to manage a camp and the children. This means +first of all, a strong reliable character, with enthusiasm +and love and understanding for people, and particularly +for young people. She must also have an understanding +of the Scout program, as well as the aims and purposes of +the Scout organization, for the children in these camps are +Scouts. She must have a practical knowledge of the administration +of a large household.</p> + +<p>If in addition to these qualities she is capable of organizing +and planning, the Council can feel itself lucky, +because their specific work in regard to the camp is ended, +and they can with assurance turn over to the Director +such questions as choice of location, the camp site, arrangements +for transportation, price of board, determining +and selection of equipment, the type of children, and the +length of the camp year.</p> + +<p>They must not forget to give the Director not only the +responsibility but the requisite authority to act, and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span> +perhaps most important, be ready to give her financial +backing.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 328px;"> +<a href="images/p012-big.jpg"><img src="images/p012.jpg" width="328" height="209" alt="The Tent "Green."

It may be necessary +therefore, for the Committee to divide the work +among its members, or even to engage a professional +buyer, or business manager. In the rest of this book it +has been assumed that the Director is of the former type, +and will carry the initial responsibility.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Transportation</div> + +<p>The question of transportation is the first thing to be +thought of when considering locations for a Girl Scout +camp. The cost, facilities, accessibility and time required +would all be determining factors which when settled make<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span> +it possible to investigate locations within a given radius +without waste of time.</p> + +<p>There are many Scouts who would not go to camp if +the cost of transportation equalled the price of one week's +board, but who would on the other hand spend two weeks +in camp with a smaller transportation cost. The question +of shipping equipment and provisions is also to be considered, +for these things can be bought to better advantage +in large centers and transported by boat or rail to the +camp site, than purchased from stores in a small community.</p> + +<p>Travelling and shipping by boat is cheaper than by +rail, and is often more satisfactory. Boat companies will +give reduced rates to an organization sending many members +on its line, while railroads rarely if ever do so.</p> + +<p>Suburban trolley lines offer advantages over both boats +and railroads, and often take one quite beyond the crowded +settlements to spots of real beauty. Unless absolutely +necessary do not plan for any transportation that requires +a change of cars or boat. A motor or stage ride, or short +hike is always to be planned for.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Locations</div> + +<p>Having investigated transportation facilities and charges +various locations would next come to mind.</p> + +<p>Waste no time on those which do not afford a lake, a +river, the sea, or a brook of good size, if the camp is to be +for a large group and open for several weeks. The daily +swim is as essential to the happiness of the average Scout +as is her mess, and the adequate water supply for washing +purposes is an essential thing to the housekeeper.</p> + +<p>A village or town which has a post office, telegraph office, +a doctor, a store or two, a railroad station or boat landing, +is often the camp Director's best friend, and such a place<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span> +should be within hiking distance of every camp. It is +there that arrangements should be made when possible, +for supplying the camp with fresh milk, fresh vegetables, +bread, and so forth. The risks taken by older people, or +the small group that wish to be indeed far from all civilization, +cannot be taken by the Director of a camp who has +in her care a hundred or more children for every one of +whom she is responsible. It is possible, as has been proved, +to find a camp site so in the heart of the country or woods +that one feels miles away from everything, and still be +within reach of modern facilities.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />The Site</div> + +<p>The finding of the actual site when once the locality is +determined is really quite exciting. So many lovely spots +attract one's attention, but as natural beauty often deceives +the unknowing, a thorough investigation is the +only safe course to pursue.</p> + +<p>The necessity for a road to the camp site is not to be +forgotten. Transportation of people and supplies by row +boat is too difficult.</p> + +<p>Follow the river or brook, search the rim of the lake, or +scan the edge of the sea for high ground, a knoll will do, +for well drained ground, for the adequate drinking water +supply (which must be tested), for fuel in abundance, if wood +is to be used, for trees among which tents can be pitched or +cabins built for sleeping quarters, for space for the main +building, for an open space where games and drill can be +enjoyed. Forget not the sun, the prevailing winds, and +the western clearing where at the end of the day all the +beauties of the sunset can be enjoyed, or the safe place +for the campfire where songs and the real Scout Spirit +bring the day to a happy end.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span></p> +<h2>II</h2> + +<div class='chaptertitle'>CAMP DIRECTORS AND COUNSELLORS</div> + + +<p>No one doubts for a moment that camping is a good +thing for children as well as for grown people, but like +many so-called "good things" the results accruing from it +depend upon the person or persons in charge.</p> + +<p>For a Girl Scout camp the Director is generally engaged +by a council or a committee and is made responsible +for the camp as a whole, including the health, safety and +happiness of the group, the standards established and the +furthering of Scout principles and aims. The Director +may engage as assistants, volunteer or paid counsellors. +They may be Scout Captains or people who know little +about the Scout work, but whoever they are all should +qualify as to character, willingness to cooperate, love for +children, ability to teach or to do well one or more things, +and possess a personality which will make for happiness +and success.</p> + +<p>The number of counsellors will depend on the size of the +group and the work to be done. One counsellor for +sixteen girls or for every two patrols is none too many. +There should be a head counsellor who takes the Director's +place when necessary, and who assists her in many ways; +a nurse who is responsible for the personal health of +the Scouts and who teaches First Aid and Personal +Health; a counsellor to have charge of each subject +listed on the program, a handy-man if the camp is large +and there is much heavy work to be done; a cook and +cook's helper, and last but not least, someone to do all +that no one else does—keep records of all kinds, write +letters, arrange for the coming and going of campers, supervise +the canteen, and be helpful generally.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 474px;"> +<img src="images/p016.jpg" width="474" height="329" alt="Well-built floors keep out ground damp, and make level and steady supports." title="" /> +<span class="caption">Well-built floors keep out ground damp, and make level and steady supports.</span> +</div> + +<p>It is most desirable when possible to engage Scout +leaders as counsellors, but they should qualify as do all +other counsellors, for the camp specialties.</p> + +<p>The Director must think in universal terms and put +personal feelings <ins title="Transcriber's Note: This word not present in original text">to</ins> one side. She must aim for oneness of +purpose and solve all problems that seem to block the way. +She must be an example always and her imagination, understanding, +resourcefulness, strength, and devotion to +her work are her tools. She should understand the necessary +requirements of the various groups as concerns their +religious training and make provisions for helping the +girls to live up to these requirements. Those who must +go to church every Sunday, observe Feast Days and Fast +Days, should have a counsellor of their own faith to be +responsible for them. For those girls whose belief makes +it necessary to abstain from eating certain foods and being<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span> +particular as to the dishes they use, arrangements must +be made to meet their needs.</p> + +<p>Because it is not always possible to allow each member +of a large group to attend church on Sunday, especially as +camps as a rule are not near communities, a simple Scout +service should be arranged at which the Scout Promise +and Laws are repeated, purely non-sectarian hymns are +sung and a short talk given on Scout-like subjects. Great +care must be taken to keep this service in accord with the +policy of the Scout organization, which is absolutely non-sectarian.</p> + +<p>A Director's specific duties vary according to the size +and type of the camp and the number and duties of her +assistants. She should, however, in all cases see that the +program adopted is being lived up to, that the camp is in +a sanitary and safe condition in every respect, that the +proper food is being served, that camp regulations are +being obeyed and that any illness is being cared for. She +should improve every opportunity to give the children +something of usefulness and value by calling their attention +to the best and diverting it from all that is not helpful.</p> + +<p>She should cultivate the ability to read the temperature +of the group and when necessary to forestall difficult situations, +discuss with it squarely, fairly, openly and truthfully +any misunderstanding or dissatisfactions and do away +with them as soon as possible.</p> + +<p>If a Director is responsible for the money spent in running +the camp she should see that there is no waste and +that the greatest possible returns are procured for all expenditures. +These will include such items as food, cartage, +labor, salaries, canteen supplies, materials for occupational +activities, necessary replenishing of household +equipment, and telephone calls.</p> + +<p>It is hardly possible to equip and run a camp on the income<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span> +from a low rate of board, but the running expenses +should be met and the children will help by cooperating +to this end if encouraged to do so, even to the point of +cheerfully foregoing some of the things they like and want +and are accustomed to having at home.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 478px;"> +<img src="images/p018.jpg" width="478" height="302" alt=""A Slack Rag of Canvas 'Twixt You and the Stars."

An occasional accident +may happen but this <ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'in'">is</ins> unusual. It is well to remember +either when working with an individual or a group +that it is only possible to form habits by constant repetition. +To tell a child to do something and not to see that +it is done, is of little value to the child or anyone else. One +of the chief duties of a Director is to know that the things +are done which have been mapped out as essential to the +welfare of the camper.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span></p> + +<p>Counsellors should meet often, even daily, with the +Director and report on the work being done, make suggestions +for improvements and establish a basis of cooperation. +At such meetings plans for any special occasion +should be made and duties assigned. If the children need +time to themselves and entertainments for relaxation and +to break the routine, it is also true that the Director and +Counsellors must have free time to work out their individual +problems and indulge in some form of play. An +occasional afternoon out of camp or the opportunity to +have a little party by themselves is suggested. In a large +camp near the city, a full day a week should be allowed to +each Counsellor.</p> + +<p>The Director's work is unending from the opening to +the closing of camp, but she has a rare opportunity to +work with girls, to help them in many ways, some of which +are quite personal, and perhaps to be an influence for +great good in their lives. All depends however, on what +she is herself, and what she considers is the purpose of the +camp.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Personality</div> + +<p>No one is fitted to be a counsellor in a Girl Scout camp +who does not like to work with girls and who does not in +a measure understand children. The desire to be with +them, to learn from them, and to help them, is the only +reason for accepting such a position. In addition one +should be equipped to teach at least one subject and able +to make it of such interest that it opens the mind to a new +world. The ability to cooperate is another essential +quality, for when living with a group, we may interpret +individually, but what we interpret must be of common +understanding. While patience and sympathy are both +needed in group living, sentimentality is to be avoided.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<a href="images/p020-big.jpg"><img src="images/p020.jpg" width="400" height="235" alt="In high and dry Colorado, wall tents without floors, and put up with ground pegs can suffice." title="" /></a> +<span class="caption">In high and dry Colorado, wall tents without floors, and put up with ground pegs can suffice.</span> +</div> + +<p>Hours of work have nothing to do with the duties of a +camp counsellor. She is on duty in one sense twenty-four +hours out of every day, but her work need not be arduous. +If she becomes aware of anything which seems to be, or is +likely to become, a detriment to the camp it is her duty +to report the matter to the Director.

The best results are obtained +when we can realize that each child holds within herself +the perfect Scout ideal and that because of her limited +ideas, lack of understanding, environment, the negative<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span> +suggestions constantly being made to her, she fails to express +it.

There are two things +for her to work for, the Camp spirit and the maintaining +of Scout standards. It is said that with a group, "morale" +is in importance to work, as <i>three</i> is to <i>one</i>. This theory +has been proved by experts who have experimented with +small and large groups. It is well to make the Scout Laws +the Laws of the camp. They must, however, be understood +and lived up to to be effective and for this reason time +must be taken each day to talk about them, discuss them +and make them of practical value.</p> + +<p>Fortunately in every Scout camp a group of girls will +be found who are born leaders. Those in that group who +are awake to the Scout ideals are of the greatest help in all +matters and should be encouraged. They can accomplish +much by way of example and in some cases can handle a +situation as well if not better than a Director. Work delegated +to them should be explained carefully and inspected +for their sake as well as others, and any lack of thoroughness +or judgment pointed out and explained that they may +learn the better way.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23"></a> +<img src="images/p023.jpg" width="600" height="356" alt="This Mess Hall is open to wind and sun, but rolled up canvas walls are ready to be dropped." title="" /> +<span class="caption">This Mess Hall is open to wind and sun, but rolled up canvas walls are ready to be dropped.</span> +</div> + +<p>Those girls who are negative in thought and action, +should be watched and every effort made to help them to +come into line. They are bound to have followers and this +group causes trouble generally through misunderstanding +and ignorance. There should be but one interest on the +part of each camper and that is <i>to be a Scout</i>, not only in +looks but in thought and deed. This is sometimes hard, +for conditions are not all as they are in one's home, and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span> +to adjust one's ways of living, especially in regard to +eating, is not easy.</p> + +<p>It might be well for the camper to realize that the +object of a Scout camp is to give the best and as much as +can be paid for by the income from board, and that the +price of board is small in order that all Scouts may share in +the joys of living in the open. With these facts in mind +it is easier to accept conditions that may not be just to our +liking. Wherever we choose to live, indoors or out of doors, +alone or as one of a group, we have to face certain facts +which must be dealt with and not ignored if we would be +healthy and happy and have our surroundings livable.</p> + +<p>In dealing with these facts there is certain work to be +done which a good many people call "drudgery," but if +this work were neglected those very people would be the +first to complain.</p> + +<p>We must eat to live, therefore, food must be prepared, +cooked, and served, dishes washed and wiped, tables set, +and kitchen and mess hall kept clean in every respect.</p> + +<p>We must sleep to maintain health so beds and bed-clothing +are necessary. These need care as well as the +sleeping room, and all personal belongings in it.</p> + +<p>We must be clean to be decent, and try as hard as we +will, trash collects and must be properly disposed of. +Wash houses and latrines are necessary and they must be +kept clean.</p> + +<p>Who should be more interested in doing this work and +in doing it well than the Scout herself? She should take +the greatest pride in keeping her camp up to the highest +standard always. It can be done without great effort +on the part of any one Scout if each one tries to remember +a few things, among them:</p> + +<p>1. That thoughtfulness reduces the amount of work to +be done and saves time and money.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[25]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 471px;"> +<a href="images/p025-big.jpg"><img src="images/p025.jpg" width="471" height="356" alt=""By the Shining Big Sea Water."

That unless the work <i>is</i> done conditions will be unbearable +and camp will close.</p> + +<p>3. That the work she does benefits herself as well as +others. It is the waste and trash thrown or laid down +where it does not belong, work half done that has to be +done over, thinking of our own desires instead of the Scout +standards, that are at the root of any trouble. Do not +call the camp duties drudgery, call them opportunities +for service.</p> + +<p>4. The fact that the Girl Scout pays board does not +absolve her from this work. If the Scouts do all that they +can to be of service, and serve cheerfully, many opportunities +are offered them that otherwise would be prohibitive.</p> + +<p>Every girl entering a Scout camp has placed before her +a camp program which if taken advantage of offers her the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span> +best the camp affords. There are always girls who accept +the program and use it in full. They know that in order +to BE PREPARED they must grasp every opportunity +to develop along Scout lines. On the other hand there are +girls who seem too lacking in interest, too blind to the opportunities, +too inert to take advantage of it, and they leave +camp having missed the very things for which they came.</p> + +<p>The helpful Scouts who belong to the former group are +real camp helpers, and the Director can always depend +upon them, the Counsellors can depend upon them, and +they are the power which makes or mars the success of +the camp.</p> + +<p>It is in camp that girls have the opportunity to express +themselves along lines quite different from those used +during their ordinary daily life. Entertainments are +always hailed with delight, and any Scout who does a +good stunt, takes part in a play, or gives expression through +dancing, reciting, or singing, is contributing to the fun +and joy of all.</p> + +<p>Aside from parties and plays and other fun-giving times, +there is Scout work which can be done in camp better +than anywhere else. This work includes the study of +nature lore, woodcraft, certain forms of handicraft, swimming, +and hiking. The advantage of spending a part of +each day on these subjects as well as the Grade Tests and +Merit Badge tests, is found in the fact that the Counsellors +are prepared to give the work in the best possible way and +under the best conditions.</p> + +<p>Also there is inspiration in seeing what other girls do +and in trying to do as well if not a little better. Then too, +what is learned in camp is taken back home to the girls +who have not been privileged to go to camp, and they gain +through the camper's experience. There are a few things +which every Scout should know after living in the open<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[27]</a></span> +for a few weeks. One is that we are dependent upon +people, and that people are dependent upon us; therefore, +we must equip ourselves to give; another is that the great +out of doors is full of interesting things which can give us +far greater happiness if we learn to know them and try +for a time for each year to live with them, than the things +to which we turn during the winter for recreation and excitement.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 476px;"> +<img src="images/p027.jpg" width="476" height="285" alt="The Camp Living Room" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>The Camp Living Room</span></span> +</div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span></p> +<h2>IV</h2> + +<div class='chaptertitle'>THE CAMP HOUSE</div> + +<div class='poem2'> +<i>"Here's life: a slack rag of canvas 'twixt you and the stars....<br /> +Not penned in a thing four-square and murk, but free<br /> +On your feet, a thumbed road-map your guide, worlds ahead, God above;<br /> +For companions, the seasons; for events, the blue birds, the magpies,<br /> +Butterflies, columbines, all the myriad throng of the road folk,<br /> +Chance-met.

For short time camps, for small +groups, or for older people, or when building is impossible, +tents only can be used. In such cases there would be need +of a tent for a mess and assembly room, a tent for the +kitchen, a small waterproof tent in which to store provisions, +a small tent for covering a latrine and tents for +sleeping quarters.</p> + +<p>The main tent for a mess hall and assembly room combined, +should be large, placed with some regard for a view +of the surrounding country, sun, air and general camp +scheme. (<a href="#Page_25">p. 25</a>.) It should be furnished with tables, +benches, and so forth, all of which can be moved out of +the way when the room is to be used for recreational purposes. +The kitchen should not be too far away, but back +of the main tent and should be so placed that all of the +air possible may blow through it. There should be a long +cook table with a shelf over it, if possible, hung from the +ridge pole, or supported with uprights fastened to the +table. Also a table which can be used for dish washing.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span> +It would be well to have in addition to the kitchen stove +which is in this tent, cooking fire places outside of the +tent which could be used in pleasant weather. One of the +most practical of these is built of stone, with a back wall +and two sides, with two rods, the ends resting on the side +walls and near enough together to hold the average size +pots and kettles.

There are +on the market several different types of tents: the army +wall tent (<a href="#Page_10">p. 10</a>.) which should always be pitched with a +fly and be opened at both ends, the conical and the pyramidal +tents.

They are pitched over ground +cloths, with one pointed rod and metal spikes for pegging +the tent to the ground.

When +putting up a wall tent instead of using pegs, build a frame +work running parallel to the sides of the tent to which the +guy ropes can be fastened.

(<a href="#Cut_A">Cut A</a>.) The types and floor plans of such houses +vary greatly, but certain things are essential in all.

Do not pull the tent out of line<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[42]</a></span> +or have one rope tighter than another. Use a clove hitch +for tying the ropes to the strips.

One is +considered easier than the other because it divides the +work among the entire group, but there is a question as to +whether it is as sanitary a way as the other, or as helpful +to the Scout. It is the method of having eight campers +scrape their dishes, stack them, fall in line, dishes in hand, +and in succession wash, rinse and wipe them in pans and +with towels common to that one group. As can readily be +seen this methods breaks the rules being taught to Scouts +as to the proper way of washing dishes: namely, to wash +glass, first, silver next, change the water and wash saucers, +cups, plates and so forth. No mother would think of +having each member of the family stack her dishes, take +them to the sink, wash and wipe them and put them +away.

Of course, this work is relayed so +that each girl has a chance to learn it.</p> + +<p>There are many young women with homes of their +own whose houses are badly run because they have no +idea how the daily housework should be done. They +cannot do it themselves and they cannot direct another. +The camp is the one place where the Scout can learn what +to do and how to do it, and use for the benefit of a large +group the training which she receives.

There is no desire on the part of +any Director to make of her camp a finishing school, but +she should be filled with a keen desire to make the most of +every opportunity to give what will be of help to the girls +as Scouts and as women.

Those approximately +of one age should be in the same tents. Also +friends like to be together. To know at a glance what +cots are Vacant in any one tent is of help. Also at a glance +the length of time a child has been in camp can be told, +the date of coming and going being recorded. The accompanying +<a href="#Cut_C">Cut C</a> shows a system which has served its +good uses in more than one camp. Perhaps it will be of service +to others. A sheet of fairly heavy paper for each tent +record can be used, and all sheets put in a cover and held +in place by clips. The dates of the month when groups can +enter camp are placed at the left. Every square means a<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[51]</a></span> +week. Ditto marks mean "remaining in camp," and X +means leaving camp and signifies an empty cot.

Therefore, the figures are also expressed +in terms of the distribution of one thousand +dollars, during the first and also the following years.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that food is always the most expensive<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[62]</a></span> +item. It is also the common basis for comparison. Equipment +which is second in cost the first year, drops to fifth +place in the following years. With reasonable care equipment +should last seven years, upkeep and renewal taking +one-seventh each year. With exceptional care the life of +equipment may of course be extended and one of the important +things to be learned at camp is thrift and consideration +for the common property.</p> + +<p>Girl Scout camps should aim at becoming self-supporting +or even sources of revenue as soon as possible. It is +good policy to charge a rate of board that will cover <i>all</i> +costs, and then to raise money by Scout rallies and entertainments +to provide for individuals unable to meet the full +rate. Councils might well offer "scholarships" in the form +of two weeks' camping expenses. Money for original +equipment should be borrowed and paid back at interest +in yearly sums.</p> + +<p>In the camp whose budget is shown a board rate of $6.00 +would more than cover expenses after the first year as with +134 Scouts paying for ten weeks it would yield an income +of $8,040. At this rate the initial expense could only be +paid off in about five years.</p> + +<p>A board rate of $7.00 would not only cover current +expenses, but would serve to pay off original cost of equipment +in two years' time. Thus, 134 Scouts paying $7.00 +a week for 10 weeks would make an income of $9,380 a +season. This would leave a deficit the first year of $620. +The second year with the current expenses $7,600 plus +the deficit of $620 the total would be $8,220. The income +of $9,380 would therefore give a balance of $1,160 at the +end of the second year.</p> + +<p>This does not include any of the income to be legitimately +expected from the canteen, telephone charges, or special +rates charged to guests, or from funds raised by entertainments.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[63]</a></span> +Taking these things into consideration the board +rate might be considerably reduced.</p> + +<p>The balance that should accrue at the end of the second +year might be used for reducing rates or extending time to +individuals, or for paying instructors for extra service, or +perhaps best of all to start new camps.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/p063.jpg" width="300" height="400" alt="The Sunday Dinner.

One is the government standard folding +army cot, the other the telescope cot. Still another is the +camp made cot fashioned of posts and strips of wood, with +rope interlaced between the strips, and a sack filled with +clean dry hay for a mattress. Spring cots and mattresses +can be used but require a great deal of storage space during +the winter and for many other reasons are not practical. +An old sheet, a piece of heavy cotton cloth or bed ticking +made into a bag and filled with hay can be used as a mattress +on top of a canvas cot and makes a very warm comfortable +bed, especially for cold nights.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Blankets</div> + +<p>Woolen blankets are the only covering to be considered +for camp use, as they absorb less moisture than any other +material, and even if damp are warm. They should be<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[65]</a></span> +long enough to cover the cot and turn under at the bottom, +and wide enough when doubled to fall over the edge of +the cot for a few inches. Those measuring 66 x 84 inches, +weighing from 4 to 5 pounds, and being 70 to 90 per +cent wool, are recommended. If only one blanket for +each cot is provided in the general equipment each +child should bring to camp either a sleeping bag, one +heavy and one lightweight blanket, or one blanket and a +heavy bath robe.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p065.jpg" width="500" height="290" alt="Cleaning Squad" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>Cleaning Squad</span></span> +</div> + +<p>Great care should be taken that the blankets are kept +clean. This can be done if the rule permitting no eatables, +water or ink in the tents is adhered to. When making the +camp bed whatever the method, care should be taken +that blankets do not touch the floor. One way is to fold +the camp blanket lengthwise, lay it on top of the cot, the +top nine inches from the head of the cot. Open the blanket +and lay into it the camper's folded blanket, the top of +which comes to the head of the cot. Draw the camp +blanket over it, fold both under at the foot, and turn in the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[66]</a></span> +open side half of the length of the cot. If a pillow is used +place it between the folds of the inner blanket. A bed +made in this way will keep the camp blanket clean and it +will be in proper condition either to use another summer or +to use the same summer by another child.</p> + +<p>Another way is to fold the camp blanket lengthwise and +place it on the cot and fold the camper's blanket lengthwise +placing the two openings in opposite directions, one +blanket inside of the other.</p> + +<p>Still another way is to fold the blanket lengthwise in +thirds and lay it on the cot, turn it under at the foot and +get into it as into a sleeping bag.</p> + +<p>Quilts are not advised for camp use. All blankets +should be shaken every day and thoroughly shaken and +sunned at least two or three times a week. For this purpose +it is recommended that long bars be erected in a sunny +spot on the camp grounds where blankets can be thrown +over them during a part of the day. If the camp is divided +into sections a few blankets could be done at one time, and +done regularly. The tent posts can be used if care is taken +that the ropes are not loosened. Low brush or an available +fence will also serve the purpose.</p> + +<p>It is well to remember that it is more essential to have +plenty of clothing under the body than over it if one would +sleep comfortably. A wrapper worn over the night gown +will keep the body warmer on a cold night than an +extra blanket on top.</p> + +<p>The camp blankets should never be used next to the +body. The personal blanket should be used for that purpose. +During the day the camp blanket can be folded +lengthwise once, crosswise once, laid on to the foot of the +cot, the fold toward the bottom, the personal blankets, +night clothes, bath wrapper and pillow neatly folded, laid +on the blanket and the border ends drawn over and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[67]</a></span> +tucked under, thus making a neat roll.

This arrangement forms a kind of fire-less +cooker which is exceedingly satisfactory, especially +for cooking cereals.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Trash Boxes</div> + +<p>Each tent or group of tents should have a conveniently +placed trash box. These can be made of wooden frames +covered with screening, can be small half-barrels or kegs, +painted, or small portable incinerators. These boxes +should be emptied every twenty-four hours and the contents +burned.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Weighing Scales</div> + +<p>Another piece of furniture is a pair of personal scales, for +the weight of each child entering and leaving camp is of +interest and value.

By buying large quantities and at wholesale<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[77]</a></span> +and selling at the market price in small quantities there +can be a perfectly legitimate profit on a camp canteen. +This helps to pay camp expenses. It is also possible to +make an arrangement with local stores to supply merchandise, +fruit and candy to be sold at the store price, +and receive from the store a ten per cent discount +which is clear profit to the camp. A greater profit, +however, can be obtained if the camp purchases these +things for itself from wholesale dealers.</p> + +<p>The price of board in the average Scout camp is so +low that it is impossible to supply campers with many +of the things which they want and which they may +have. Fresh fruit in some localities is very expensive +and quite beyond the possibility of serving. But most +parents make no objection to their children purchasing +the fruit, one or two pieces at a time, at the canteen +counter. The same is true of simple candy such as sweet +chocolate, Hershey Bars, Neccos, etc. One piece a day +is not only perfectly harmless; it is, in fact, beneficial.</p> + +<p>Other things that can be sold in the canteen are stationery, +stamps, plain postal cards, picture postal cards, +hair pins, pins, shoe laces, needles and thread, kodak +films, bathing caps, soap, and pencils.</p> + +<p>The best time for having the canteen open is determined +by the rule that Scouts do not eat between meals. +For this reason it is better to sell fruit and candy either +directly after dinner or directly after supper. For many +reasons it is much more convenient and fully as well for +the child to have the canteen open after supper, especially +when that meal is served at half-past five.</p> + +<p>The question as to whether Scouts should be allowed +to receive packages of food from home is one which +every camp Director has to decide. Probably nothing +causes more unhappiness than the fact that some girls<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[78]</a></span> +receive no packages while others have many. The most +serious phase is that boxes often contain food which is +not best for the girl. Then, too, packages have been +sent by parcel post so badly wrapped and packed that +when received at the local post office the authorities +have complained to the camp Director. The condition +of fruit or other food was such as to be a menace.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p078.jpg" width="500" height="353" alt="Making Camp on an Overnight Hike.

If a child is +allowed to keep food of any kind in her tent, it is quite +impossible to have the blankets, cots, or pillows in absolutely +perfect condition.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[79]</a></span></p> + +<p>All things considered, it seems best not to allow food +including fruit or candy to be sent or brought into camp.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br /><span class="smcap">Equipment for Swimming and Boating</span></div> + +<p>The average child who enters camp does not know how +to swim and knows less about boating. What is more, it +is probably the only place for many to learn to do these +things. Taking a dip for the sake of having a good time, +splashing in the water, and so forth, is one thing, but to +really learn to swim, to dive, to throw a life line, to rescue, +to resuscitate, is quite a different matter. These things +must be learned, for as a matter of fact, human beings do +none of them naturally.</p> + +<p>When possible a crib for beginners is a very desirable +thing to have. (<a href="#Page_69">p. 69</a>.) Unless there is a safe beach or +shallow water and a good bottom there is more or less +danger attending the teaching of swimming to a group +of children even though the group be small. With the +crib, for use especially in deep lakes and ponds, this danger +is practically overcome, and in consequence much anxiety +on the part of those in charge of the camp eliminated. The +child seems to fear less, therefore learns to swim sooner. +A crib 20 x 85 feet is large enough for a group of twenty +children (<a href="#Cut_H">Cut H</a>.) It is built partially on land by the +water's edge, is made of logs and planks and pulled into +the water over logs used as rollers. A floor is made of 6 +inch planks placed half an inch apart and nailed on to a +rectangular frame work of logs with lengthwise supports +under the planks. Uprights of logs are placed at intervals +along the sides and ends and at the corners. Two and +a half feet from either end a second row of uprights is +placed. The sides and inner ends are built up to a height +of 5 feet, the outer ends to 3 feet.

Rescue a drowning person twenty-five feet +away from a raft. Swim 50 yards with clothes on.</p> + +<p>It is always advisable during a swimming period to have +a boat well manned near at hand.

Great care +should be taken that no child is allowed to get chilled. +At the first sign of pinchedness, shivering, or blue lips the +child should be called out of the water, and instructed +to rub herself briskly and dress at once.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p082.jpg" width="500" height="353" alt="The Morning After" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>The Morning After</span></span> +</div> + +<p>Bathers should always be counted immediately before +going into the water, and immediately after being called +out. It is well to have assembly and roll call for this.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Suits</div> + +<p>A word as to bathing suits may not be amiss. Care +should be taken that the shoulder straps are tight enough +and the under arm seam sewed up high enough to keep the +top part of the suit in place. It is recommended that camps +adopt a uniform style of bathing suit and that all classified +groups wear bathing caps of the same color, as for instance,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[83]</a></span> +first class swimmers wear white caps, second class +blue caps, third class green caps, and fourth class, red caps.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />The Float</div> + +<p>Probably there is more fun experienced by the Scouts +who are privileged to use a raft or float, than by all the +other campers put together. To get out of the crib group +and go for the first time to the float is a thrilling experience +and one that is much discussed and enjoyed. Water +sports without a float cannot be imagined, neither can a +camp really be called a Girl Scout camp unless it possesses +this important piece of floating property, which may be +large or small, but must be properly built to be safe. For +a camp of 150 or more, a float 20 x 40 feet is none too large. +It should be equipped with spring board, diving tower +and life lines, and moored in deep water, not too long a +swim from shore.</p> + +<p>Bath houses are not always considered necessary to +campers but the use of them does much toward keeping +tents and tent equipment in good condition. Wet floors, +cots, blankets and so forth are always a detriment and +should not be allowed. If bath houses are impossible, +erect a large tent with a clothes line running from pole to +pole and low benches under it to serve as racks for clothing. +Have pails at hand for holding rinsing water. This kind +of bath house is easily arranged.</p> + +<p>Where possible it is an excellent idea for girls to be able +to take a quick dip before dressing for breakfast, but in a +large camp this is not always possible, and other arrangements +have to be made for the morning ablutions, as have +been suggested in another part of this book.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Boats</div> + +<p>Only first class swimmers should be allowed the use +when alone, of boats of any kind. The flat bottomed<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[84]</a></span> +boats are the safest and it is almost impossible to tip them +over. They are, however, much heavier and harder to +manage than the round bottomed boats. Care should be +taken that not too many girls go in one boat at one time +and that whoever is put in charge of the group must be +obeyed. Girls should be taught to row, how to enter a +boat and leave it, how to tie it, how to seat passengers so +that the boat will be well balanced, how to row alone, and +how to keep stroke with another.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Camp Supplies</div> + +<p>A list of firms handling approved <ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'epuipment'">equipment</ins> for camps +will be furnished upon request to National Headquarters +Girl Scouts, Inc.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 306px;"> +<img src="images/p084.jpg" width="306" height="219" alt="Setting Out for the water Hike" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>Setting Out for the water Hike</span></span> +</div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[85]</a></span></p> +<h2><span class="smcap">Water Front Protection for Summer Camps</span></h2> + +<div class='chaptertitle'> +<i>By</i><br /> +<br /> +Captain Fred.

Much emphasis +should be placed on instruction in resuscitation +by the Schaefer method, and no attempt should be +made to instruct them in the use of any mechanical +respiratory devices as they are practically useless.</p> + +<p>During the camp season, if possible, members should +have thorough instruction in first aid, especially as it +applies to water accidents, the most common of which +are abrasions, sun burn, seasickness, broken arms from +backfire of gasoline engines, sickness from gasoline +fumes of motor boat engines, and submersion.</p> + +<p><i>Duties of Crew.</i> The Life Saving Corps should be +familiar with the water at all points and should buoy +any especially dangerous spots, such as submerged tree +stumps or very deep holes.

Parts of the program +must necessarily be obligatory for all, others optional, +still others optional as to time only.</p> + +<p>The fact that the group is composed of Scouts and is +living out of doors should bring to the fore, subjects for +study which are particularly in keeping with the Scout +program, such as nature lore, simple astronomy, woodcraft, +campcraft, carpentry, gardening, hiking, map-making, +swimming and boating; Scout grade test requirements, +and some of the Merit Badge work. Specific +directions for teaching these subjects are not given +here, as they are covered in the Handbook, "Scouting +for Girls," and other publications.</p> + +<p>Periods for play may include games, group singing, +rowing, hikes, entertainments, and so forth.

It is possible to have almost any branch of the +Fine Arts and the Applied Arts as dyeing, batik, stenciling, +woodblock printing, pottery. Then there is basketry, +weaving, rug-making, leather work, and metal +work in copper, or jewelry in silver, woodcarving and +carpentry. The first problem is: "Who will teach it?" +The choice of what handcrafts you will have then, +depends somewhat on whom you can secure to present +them properly.</p> + +<p>But closely allied is your second problem, "What can +we afford?" Jewelry, metal work and leather are the +most expensive. Pottery is fascinating, but you must +have a kiln to finish the product.</p> + +<p>Try to choose the crafts which will suit the capacities. +It is better not to attempt jewelry at the outset.</p> + +<p>Relating your craft work to the camp makes it doubly +interesting. So much can be done in this way with carpentry +which produces anything from docks and canoe +paddles to furniture and toothbrush holders.</p> + +<p>Delightful problems in the interior decoration of a +camp living room can be worked out by combining the +efforts of all the craft workers. The carpenters build the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_109" id="Page_109">[109]</a></span> +furniture; the weavers make rugs and materials; the +dyers dip the materials and carry out the color scheme +and other workers supply the accessories.</p> + +<p>It is well to have an exhibition to look forward to +for the end of the season when appointed judges decide +upon the merit of the work.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Woodcraft</div> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; +but in the open world it passes lightly with its stars +and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked +by changes in the face of Nature.

All night long he can hear +Nature breathing deeply and freely; even as she +takes her rest, she turns and smiles; and there is +one stirring hour unknown to those who dwell in +houses, when a wakeful influence goes abroad over +the sleeping hemisphere, and all the outdoor world +are on their feet. It is then that the cock first crows, +not this time to announce the dawn, but like a cheerful +watchman speeding the course of night.

There have been cases +where from neglect, a blister on the foot has become +infected, causing serious trouble.</p> + +<p>Girl Scouts when hiking along highways should walk +in single file on the left hand side of the way, thus +giving them an opportunity to see approaching vehicles.</p> + +<p>There are many interesting signs that can be made by +Scouts when hiking, to mark the trail or note conditions +observed. These signs and their uses are given in the +Girl Scout Handbook and should be learned and put +into practice. The use of them develops the powers of +observation and makes for alertness.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Week-End Hike</div> + +<p>No child should be permitted to start out on a week-end +hike unless her physical condition is such as to +withstand any unexpected weather conditions which +might arise or prolonged exposure in the open. Also +she should be properly clothed; preferably in thin woolen +clothes, wearing as little as possible, yet being comfortable. +Her shoes should be stout, low-heeled and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_129" id="Page_129">[129]</a></span> +round-toed. She should take with her a sweater, extra +underwear, stockings, nightclothes, toilet articles, and +blankets.</p> + +<p>Only sufficient food should be taken to last during +the time planned for. This food should be packed +in small bags, preferably waterproof. Two and a quarter +pounds for one day's rations is sufficient. Cereal in some +form, many prefer flour in order to make bread, a fat—such +as bacon or butter—rice, for bulk, something to +drink, cocoa or tea, a sweet, preferably chocolate, a +small amount of sugar and raisins are suggested. Eggs +can be added to the above; also salt, baking powder, +evaporated milk and dried egg.</p> + +<p>Never start for a week-end hike late in the afternoon. +Plan to make camp not later in the day than five o'clock. +At once build the campfire and start to prepare the +supper. Select suitable places on the ground for sleeping. +Make sure that the ground is dry, and if possible +spread a poncho under the blankets. A hole dug so that +the body will fit into it and touch the ground at every +point makes sleeping more comfortable. Keep the campfire +burning all night, different members of the party, +two at a time, being on guard. Do not have the fire too +large. One of the signs of a tenderfoot woodsman is a +big fire for cooking or the night watch. Not only are +they dangerous, but when using them for cooking the +cook as well as the food is apt to be burned. Before +building the fire, scrape all leaves and dried grass from +the ground, leaving a foundation of bare earth. Make +sure that every vestige of fire is out upon breaking camp. +Also that no evidences of a camp save the matted grass +are left behind.</p> + +<p>In carrying a pack, place the load high on the back and +move the body forward to keep the center of gravity.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_130" id="Page_130">[130]</a></span></p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Overnight Hike</div> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>. . .

Its principal features are sleeping in the open and +cooking one's food in the most primitive manner. The +same requirements as for week-end hikes should obtain +as to the number of counsellors and the child's physical +condition. Also she should be properly clothed for the +trip as to shoes, stockings, underclothes, and so forth. +The necessary equipment for an overnight hike such as +nightclothes, toilet articles, etc., can be neatly laid in a +blanket and the blanket rolled from end to end. It +should be tied in the center, about four inches from +either end and between the ends and the center with +a stout string. Bring the ends together side by side +and tie tightly. Throw the blanket over the head, the +ends under one arm, the center of the blanket on the +opposite shoulder.</p> + +<p>The hiker can take more food than is strictly necessary, +for as a general thing she walks only a short +distance and can thus carry a quite heavy pack. The +trip should be so planned that the hikers reach their +destination by five o'clock in the afternoon. The following +day can be spent in exploring the surrounding country, +finding as many points of interest as possible, studying +the trees, the flowers, the birds, and following up any +trails, paths or streams which look interesting. The day +should be so planned that the return to the main camp +will be accomplished in the late afternoon or early +evening.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_131" id="Page_131">[131]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p131.jpg" width="500" height="364" alt="First Aides.

The +log cabin fire, in which two sticks are laid parallel to +each other about nine inches apart, two more laid in +the opposite direction on top of the ends of the first two +sticks, the square made about three sticks high. In the +center of this is laid a small fire of dried leaves and +small dried twigs. When the fire is well started larger +twigs should be slowly added until there is a bed of +coals on which can be put short sticks of wood. The +cooking utensils can be stood on the log cabin foundation +if it has been made of wood sufficiently large to withstand +the heat of the fire, or they can stand on a grating +placed over the fire. Never cook over a blaze. Wait until +there is a bed of coals.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_132" id="Page_132">[132]</a></span></p> + +<p>Another way of building a campfire is to select two +large green logs; place them near together at one end, +the other ends 18 inches or more apart and facing the +wind. Build the fire in between the logs. Smooth off +the top of the logs with an axe to form a support for the +cooking utensils.</p> + +<p>Where large stones are available make a fireplace by +putting two stones about ten or twelve inches apart at +right angles to a large back stone, or place three stones +to form a hollow square, building the fire in the center. +Cooking utensils can be stood on a stone placed over the +top of the fireplace or on a grating placed across the +top, or rested on two iron bars laid on top of the fireplace.</p> + +<p>Another fire can be built by placing three medium +sized sticks in the shape of an Indian tepee or wigwam. +The sticks must be of about the same size and placed so +carefully that they will not fall into the fire which is +built underneath them. When the dried leaves and +twigs have started to burn well, add a little wood of a +larger size, thus gradually building up the fire. Over the +fire three larger sticks can be placed—those which are +three or four feet in length—brought to a point, fastened +with rope and a kettle hung over the fire from the center.</p> + +<p>One of the best woods to use is scrub oak which is +distributed quite widely over the United States. It +burns slowly and gives out an even heat.</p> + +<p>Another fire, especially useful in the case of high wind, +is built in a trench, one end of which is deeper than the +other, also wider. Start the fire with dried leaves, twigs, +etc., gradually adding larger wood, finally using logs +placed lengthwise in the trench. This type can be used +very effectively for burning garbage, particularly if the +garbage is placed in the trench and the fire built on top +of it.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_133" id="Page_133">[133]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p133.jpg" width="500" height="314" alt="To "Keep the Home Fires Burning," Keep the Wood Pile High" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>To "Keep the Home Fires Burning," Keep the Wood Pile High</span></span> +</div> + +<p>Another type of fire which can be used for warmth +even better than for cooking is built in front of three +large logs placed one on top of another in slightly slanting +formation. The logs serve to reflect the heat.</p> + +<p>A few suggestions may be helpful to the young +camper. Before lighting your fire have at hand all of +the necessary material, dried leaves, tiny dry twigs, +twigs of a larger size, small sticks, and finally your heavy +fuel. Do not smother the fire by starting with too much +material and do not put it out by putting on too much +wood at one time. The object is to have a bed of hot +coals over which you can do the necessary cooking +without either smoking the cooking utensils, burning +the food, or burning oneself, or being choked with smoke.</p> + +<p>There are various cooking utensils and appliances +made especially for campers which are both interesting +to use and most serviceable. One is the grate with folding<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_134" id="Page_134">[134]</a></span> +legs which can be stuck into the ground, the grate +placed over the fire. Another is the reflector oven made +of tin with a shelf holding a pan, the whole to be set in +front of the fire, and can be used for baking bread, apple +cake, etc.</p> + +<p>The greatest test for the camper is the building of a +fire in rainy weather when leaves and twigs and wood +are far from dry. It can be done and the greatest joy +derived in the doing. Choose an old log which is not +water-soaked. Split it with an axe; split one-half of it +again. With a sharp knife make a little pile of shavings +whittled from the heart of the log. Put them in the center +of the log cabin formation. Light them from underneath +(which is the way all fires should be lighted), and +coax the blaze by adding dry shavings as required until +there is sufficient blaze to light the small wood which +has been collected. This fire takes patience and perseverance.</p> + +<p>It is sometimes possible in very wet weather to pick +up small wood that has been protected from the rain; +also to break off the dead wood of trees or the small +twigs on the ends of the limbs to start a fire.</p> + +<p>Under no circumstances should a camper use artificial +tinder of any kind. No paper, excelsior or oil should +be used in building a campfire, and a Scout should need +only one match.</p> + +<p>Always build a fire where the wind will blow the +smoke away from the camp, and never fail to build it +on the bare ground where there will be no possibility of +its creeping through the grass or underbrush into the +woods.</p> + +<p>After a meal when necessary to burn garbage, do not +throw a quantity right on top of the fire to smoulder +and cause a disagreeable odor. Rather sprinkle it<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_135" id="Page_135">[135]</a></span> +around the edges that it may dry before being shoveled +onto the coals. When necessary to burn papers, be careful +that a burning paper does not blow into nearby +brush or woods.</p> + +<p>The questions of fires and provisions for hiking are +treated at length in the Girl Scout Handbook.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />A Deschutes River Fishing Trip in the Deep Forests of +the Cascade Range North Western Washington</div> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>We are now in the mountains and they are in us, +kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling +every pore and cell of us.

M. by automobile, driving +three hours to the foot of Huckleberry Mountain +from which point we were to hike to camp. Here we +were met by a native of the parts who was to carry a +pack, as we had not enough men to manage supplies. +Pack ponies are out of the question, for the trail leads +for six miles over fallen trees and through dense growth. +After half an hour, our packs and bed rolls adjusted, we +started off at a good even pace for the river.</p> + +<p>For one mile hiking was comparatively easy. Then we +had to cross the river over a fallen tree. The girls could +not do this and carry their packs, so the men made several +trips after which we all crossed. The time taken in<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_136" id="Page_136">[136]</a></span> +crossing the river was equivalent to, a good rest, so as +soon as the last member of our party was over, we readjusted +our packs and started on our way.</p> + +<p>The trail now led through a dense fir forest with its +scattering spruce and hemlock. For a mile it led along +the high bank of the Deschutes River where we could +look far down into myriads of jade-colored pools; then +for a mile into the very heart of the woods among masses +of glassy, dark-green ferns, and clumps of feathery, tossing +maiden-hair; through Oregon grape, bright arsenic +green and brilliant red. Here and there we came to a +fairy-like dell, carpeted with red and green moss, starred +with hundreds of flat five-petalled white blossoms. At +the far corner of this nook, more unprotected where the +sun shone, was a clump of the blue and white butterfly +blossoms of the Mountain Lupine. In one of these dells +we stopped for our luncheon. It was just past that +silent hour of the woods and we could hear twigs snapping +under the feet of moving animals. Birds were singing +and it was the one time of day when there is a +perfume in the dense woods such as we were in; a drugged +perfume of sweet clover, the flowered mosses and scattered +Lupine. Before leaving we each ate an orange we +had been told to bring, as mountain water taken on a +hike winds one too quickly. During the hike we could +chew dried prunes at any time, but absolutely no water +could we have until we reached camp.</p> + +<p>The trail then led back to the river bank and along it +over fallen logs and among trees deeply laden with hanging +silver grey moss. This lasted for two miles, until +the river split, forming a small island easily reached by +stepping stones, where camp was made.</p> + +<p>The very first thing done was to teach the girls how +to make beds, which we did, while the men cut hemlock<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_137" id="Page_137">[137]</a></span> +boughs; our extra man remaining long enough for that. +The second thing was to pick out places for our beds +and as soon as there were enough boughs we placed our +bags, already made, upon them. The men then gathered +enough wood for that night and the following morning. +Pitch torches were made and stacked where we could +get them. While they were busy with this heavy work +that had to be accomplished before night the girls gathered +rocks for the oven, and dug a hole for the cache. +This hole was lined with one of the small tarpaulins, all +food placed in it, tarpaulin drawn over, and slabs of +bark then placed over the hole. This protected food, +both from weather and animals. A shelf was made on +the side of one of the trees on which the baking powder +tins were placed with salt, sugar, part of flour, such +things as coffee, jam, milk, etc., that were already in +tins were also kept on this shelf.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p137.jpg" width="500" height="323" alt="Around the Campfire" title="" /> +<span class="caption"><span class='smcap'>Around the Campfire</span></span> +</div> + +<p>This work was completed by five-thirty, the cook oven<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_138" id="Page_138">[138]</a></span> +constructed and second fire made around which the beds +were placed. Dinner over, we turned in early, being +exhausted, in spite of the good condition we were all +supposed to be in for the trip. We slept in our clothes +with cap and bed socks for extra warmth and comfort. +The two men did not sit up all night, but took turns +keeping up the fire as it needed attention. The only +animals are deer and cougar, the former harmless, while +the latter seldom come near camp except when it +is deserted. They cause little trouble in the woods, as +we never go alone, but always in couples. They will +track a single person, but <i>never</i> two.</p> + +<p>Morning routine commenced with a dip in the river +and change of clothes. As we wear our breeches when +out fishing and our skirts in camp, no extra heavy wearing +apparel need be carried. Immediately after breakfast +the beds are always taken apart, blankets folded +and placed on second small tarpaulin in lean-to which +had been constructed from large slabs of bark against +a tree. This lean-to kept bedding protected from the +atmosphere and animals, as well as serving a second +purpose of camp orderliness and neatness. A second +lean-to was made for wood, bark and pitch torches. The +first morning it was necessary to complete camp construction +before the fun commenced. Shelves were made +on the river bank for toilet articles, nails placed for +towels, etc., and saplings formed as a screen for fear of +a chance fisherman or game protector passing by. On +the other side of the island a place was made for washing +dishes.</p> + +<p>Camp made, we were free to go fishing. So taking a +can of unsalted salmon eggs in our pockets, our rods, +and a v-shaped twig to carry our fish on, we were off +until lunch.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_139" id="Page_139">[139]</a></span></p> + +<p>We all assist in making and cleaning up after this +meal. Then an hour of rest is followed by fishing, learning +woodcraft methods of various kinds, or anything +that we may choose to do. Dinner was prepared while +there was still daylight, and then the best part of camp +life began—telling stories around the fire, studying the +stars and singing to the accompaniment of mandolin +and ukulele, always carried on a trip of this kind.</p> + +<p>The large tarpaulins brought are for emergency only, +in case of a thunderstorm.

Make the camp safe if you would have a +healthful, happy camp, and keep it orderly if you would +keep it safe. The time to make the camp safe is before +and during the process of building and prior to each +camp season if an old camp is used. Certain known things +are fore-runners of trouble and should be avoided or +safeguarded against from the start. Among these are +low, damp ground, impure water, an insufficient supply +of water, unsafe bathing conditions, such as deep water +only, a very swift current, undertow, shallow water and +a quick drop, holes, and so forth; proximity to pest +breeding places such as pools of stagnant water, marshes +where mosquitoes breed, uncared-for out houses, barns, +and dumps; inadequate latrine facilities, and so forth.</p> + +<p>The keeping of the camp safe is a daily matter which +includes the disposal of all waste, the cleaning of the +camp grounds and all buildings, the inspection of the +water supply, provisions, equipment, the latter in a +general way, the guarding against pests of any kind and +the personal health of the campers.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Disposition of Trash</div> + +<p>Every morning all trash should be collected and properly +disposed of. Burning is the only method unless<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_141" id="Page_141">[141]</a></span> +arrangements have been made to have all dry waste +carted away. For burning light trash use a small incinerator +two feet high and eighteen inches in diameter, +made of iron, and with a cover circular in shape and +perforated closely with holes half an inch in diameter. +When in use the incinerator should stand in an open +place away from all tents and buildings. The heavier +trash, such as old shoes, paste-board boxes, discarded +clothing, should be burned in a heap away from all +buildings, care being taken that no bits of hot paper +cause grass fires, or blow into the woods.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p141.jpg" width="500" height="282" alt=""Over the Top"" title="" /> +<span class="caption">"<span class='smcap'>Over the Top</span>"</span> +</div> + +<p>Wooden boxes in which provisions are shipped can be +split up for kindling wood, or if the boxes are large and +well made, kept for packing equipment for storage. +Some of the well-made boxes are very serviceable to use +as seats, and one could be placed in the kitchen to hold +wood. Butter tubs, if washed and dried, can be used to +hold vegetables or other provisions. Barrels should never +be thrown away if in good condition. They are invaluable +when packing dishes or kitchen ware and during the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_142" id="Page_142">[142]</a></span> +summer will hold sacks of provisions such as cereal, rice, +hominy, beans, and so forth.</p> + +<p>All tin cans should be rinsed out as soon as emptied, +burned on the trash heap and when cold thrown into a +covered pit, or into covered barrels to be carted away at +the end of the season.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Garbage</div> + +<p>There are three ways of disposing of garbage when in +camp. Burn it, bury it, give it away. Sometimes all +three ways are necessary in one camp. If the group is +small and there is little garbage it can be thrown around +the edge of a hot fire and when dried out, raked onto +the hot coals.</p> + +<p>In larger camps a portable incinerator can be used. +One form has a basin over the fire pot, into which garbage +is placed to be dried out and then turned into the fire.</p> + +<p>In camps of 100 or more people where burning is +difficult, pits for burying garbage have been found satisfactory +if properly cared for and dug not near the camp +buildings or source of water supply. They should be +deep, oblong in shape, and the earth should be thrown +up at one side to be used in covering the garbage as soon +as it is thrown into the pit.</p> + +<p>In a camp where there is no plumbing, liquid waste +as well as garbage, can be disposed of in the following +way. Dig a trench four feet long, two feet deep and +thirty inches wide at one end; eight inches wide and +level with the ground at the other end; line with stone, +or if this is impossible, use tin, sheet iron, or brick. Put +the garbage into the trench, build a fire on top of it, +when the fire is very hot pour the liquid waste into the +trench at the small end. If there is a great deal of garbage +some of it will have to be put on top of the fire<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_143" id="Page_143">[143]</a></span> +which should be made of heavy logs of hard wood. Tin +cans can be burnt in this fire and then treated as stated +before.</p> + +<p>The disposing of camp garbage is not a difficult matter +if some system and care are used. It is necessary to have +a covered pail near the kitchen door for use during the +day. The contents of this pail should be burned or buried +every night after supper and if necessary once during +the day, preferably after dinner. If this pail is lined with +two or three thicknesses of newspaper each time after +emptying, it will be kept in good condition.</p> + +<p>If garbage is to be carted out of camp, have proper +receptacles for transporting it and do not let too much +accumulate at any one time.</p> + +<p>Under no circumstances allow waste food to be strewn +on the ground anywhere within camp limits, or the +ground around the garbage pail, pit or incinerator to be +untidy.</p> + +<p>One of the best disinfectants for latrines and garbage +pits is smouldering tar paper. Break the paper into +small pieces, throw into the latrine or pit, light and let +smoulder.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Pests</div> + +<p>At least twice a week camp grounds should be thoroughly +inspected to make sure that there are no pest +breeding places such as pools of stagnant water, old tin +cans in which water will collect, trash heaps, and so +forth. It is much easier to keep flies and mosquitoes +away by doing away with such places, than it is to +exterminate them after they have come in large numbers. +If camp grounds and buildings are cleaned every day +and all waste properly disposed of, there is little danger +of trouble from pests.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_144" id="Page_144">[144]</a></span></p> + +<p>In localities where mosquitoes and flies are very +troublesome other precautions should be taken. It +might be necessary to have mosquito netting over the +cots at night and fly paper in the kitchen and store +closet. A piece of absorbent cotton saturated in citronella +and hung on the tent poles at either end of the tent +will sometimes keep mosquitoes away as they dislike +intensely any strong odor.</p> + +<p>If ants get into the kitchen or store closets borax +sprinkled on the shelves will often send them away, or +if they are very troublesome dishes of food can be stood +in pans of water.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Water Supply</div> + +<p>An adequate water supply is most essential for any +camp, and should be one of the first things to be considered +in selecting a site. Springs and wells generally +supply the camper with drinking water; lakes and +streams with wash water. Few springs or wells can +supply enough water for all purposes when a camp is +large.</p> + +<p>Whatever the source of supply the drinking water +should be tested by the Health authorities before +camp opens, and at any time there is any question concerning +it. Springs and wells should be cleaned out and +the former protected with boards or screening if necessary.</p> + +<p>Too much thought cannot be given to the question of +the water, as to its purity and quantity. Children drink +a great deal in hot weather and much has to be used for +cooking and washing. If there is any danger of the drinking +supply giving out, to prevent waste, allow only one +or two people to draw water and then only when necessary.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_145" id="Page_145">[145]</a></span></p> + +<p>Keep covered tanks or coolers of drinking water in +shady places, convenient for the campers. Caution all +as to wastefulness and if in case of an emergency there +is only a very little, place a counsellor in charge of it +and deal it out by the cupful, seeing that all have an +equal share. Of course, only individual cups should be +used.</p> + +<p>Should there be any doubt as to the purity of the +water, boil it for twenty minutes, place in earthenware +or agate vessels, cool, cover and lower the vessels down +the well, or put them in the ice box, or some cool place +for the water to get cold.</p> + +<p>Water for cooking can be taken from a lake or stream. +It is generally boiled.</p> + +<p>If the only source of supply is a brook or stream, water +for drinking should be taken above camp. All vessels in +which it is carried or kept should be thoroughly washed +each day.</p> + +<p>No camp should remain open if the water supply is +not what it ought to be.</p> + +<p>If a camp is supplied with running water and plumbing +has been installed the location and covering of the +tank and the cesspool are important things to consider.</p> + +<p>The drain pipes connected with sinks or tubs should +be flushed occasionally with disinfectants, the sink +drain cleaned daily with boiling water and washing soda.</p> + +<p>Marsh land near a camp site which is otherwise desirable, +if treated with crude oil or the water drained off by +ditches, will not prove a menace.</p> + + +<div class='center'><br />Latrines</div> + +<p>Every camp must be provided with adequate latrine +service. One unit for every eight or ten people is considered +necessary. The type of latrine to be used will<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[146]</a></span> +depend on existing conditions at the camp site, but +whatever it is the greatest care must be taken to keep +them clean.

It must be remembered +that young girls are ambitious to do all that their +fellows do, and very seldom are willing to admit any +physical disability. The responsibility should not be on +their shoulders. Camp life subjects each person to quite +unusual physical exertion which in some cases may +amount to a strain. The things to be especially guarded +against are heart disturbances, either functional or organic; +painful or too profuse menstruation; flat foot, +weak backs and prolapsed intestine. Under-nutrition +and anemia will usually be automatically corrected by +life in the open and the consequent increased appetite. +No child who is markedly undernourished, however, +should be allowed to take extraordinary exercise until +she has begun to gain.</p> + +<p>Before the Scouts start for camp they should be assembled +and inspected in a group by a nurse, or some +other person competent to detect body and head lice. +No Scout should be allowed to come to camp infested +with vermin, and yet this happens repeatedly unless +definite precautions are taken. As a rule this cannot be +left to the examining physician. If this examination is +made as early as a week ahead of the time to start for +camp the children's heads can be cleansed.</p> + +<p>To cleanse the head from lice, rub the scalp and saturate +the hair with kerosene. Tie the head up in a +thick, clean cloth held in place with safety pins. Leave +the bandage on over night. After removing the bandage +it should be plunged at once into hot soap suds, and +thoroughly washed. Wash the scalp and hair with castile +or ivory soap, rinsing thoroughly. Dry with clean towels. +Combs and brushes should be thoroughly cleansed before +using. It may be necessary to repeat this process once.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_151" id="Page_151">[151]</a></span></p> + +<p>The ideal should be held before each Scout of having +her health record while in camp a perfect one.

To ship by +boat and not by rail, when possible, also saves money. +To have a dry, well ventilated store room and an ice +room is to save still more. It is possible and feasible to +order before camp opens, the necessary dry groceries +and canned goods to be used in a camp of 150 during a +period of four to five weeks, and to care for same in a +comparatively small space.</p> + +<p>The amounts needed can be computed from the +amounts necessary for a family of four or six. In fact, +the knowledge necessary to provide properly for a family +under ordinary circumstances is of the greatest help in +providing for a camp be it large or small. There are +many good cook books which specify quantities for given +numbers of people; knowing these, the numbers of +campers to be fed per day, the amounts in which various +kinds of dry provisions are sold at wholesale, gives one +the key to the situation. By making out roughly a +week's menus, a close estimate can be made.</p> + +<p>Cereals, flours and meals can be bought by the sack +and range in weight from 50 to 100 pounds.

Baking +powder is bought in 5-lb. tins. Cocoa is bought in 25-lb. +drums. Macaroni comes in 22-lb. boxes. Peanut butter +in 10-lb. pails.

A quart and a cup per person per day is a +good allowance for drinking and cooking purposes. If +fresh milk is not obtainable, or can be had only in small +quantities, a good brand of evaporated milk should be +kept on hand.</p> + +<p>Fresh vegetables are bought either by the pound, +bunch, quart, peck or bushel. In so far as is possible +they should be cooked the day they are delivered. If, +however, it is necessary to buy vegetables at one time +for two or three days' supply, use first such things as +spinach, peas, beans and corn, for cabbages, carrots, +beets, tomatoes and squash are more easily kept and +are not so impaired in flavor by keeping.</p> + +<p>If fresh meat or chicken is to be served it should +be cooked the day it is delivered, or kept on ice +until such time as it will be needed. Fresh fish should +be handled with great care and not allowed to remain +off the ice for any length of time. There are so many +wholesome substitutes for meat that it seems entirely +unnecessary for campers to have meat more than once +or at most twice a week. In the summer time, it is very +heating, and also the meat which is obtainable in small +communities is very often not the best quality, to say +nothing of being very expensive. An occasional pot<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_154" id="Page_154">[154]</a></span> +roast of the top of the round, or a roast of lamb, or a +piece of corned beef can be used.

All tinned goods should +be taken out of their cases and laid on shelves. Butter, +crisco, eggs, peanut butter, apple butter, and so forth, +should be kept in the ice house. Cheese should be +wrapped in cheese cloth wrung out in vinegar and kept +in a box on a shelf in the store room, not in the ice box.</p> + +<p>The handling of fresh milk is something which should +be done with great care. After opening a large can, the +milk should be stirred with a long ladle which reaches +to the bottom of the can. The quantity of milk needed +should be taken out and put in a pitcher. For dipping +out the milk use a dipper which has been sterilized by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_155" id="Page_155">[155]</a></span> +placing it in boiling water and cooled by allowing cold +water to run over it. This dipper should not be used for +any other purpose than taking milk from the large can +and when not in use can hang in the ice room. Milk +cans should always be kept covered and no milk which +has once been taken out of a can should ever be poured +back into it. What is left from the table should be put +in a pitcher and stood in the ice house to be used for +cooking. Milk which is handled in this way and which +comes from a first class dairy will keep sweet for three +days. It is not essential to keep fresh vegetables in an +ice house. If the tops are cut off, vegetables can be kept +in baskets in the store room. Under no circumstances +should anything hot or even warm be put into the ice +box, as the steam which arises from the combination of +cold and heat will decompose food very quickly, or cause +it to sour. Anything that is hot and needs to be cooled +before placing in the ice box should be covered with +cheese cloth kept for the purpose and stood on the store +room shelves.</p> + +<p>Bread, if bought from a bakery, can be kept in a barrel +or on shelves and covered with cheese cloth. The sandwich +loaves are recommended as they cut to better advantage +in the bread cutter, and are more economical in +the long run. These loaves weigh about three pounds +apiece and cut into from 40 to 45 slices.</p> + +<p>Ice cream salt should not be kept in the store room, +but in a half-barrel or tub outside of the kitchen door. +Salt causes dampness, which is not desirable. The bag of +table salt should stand in a tub or box of some kind. +Fruit, especially tomatoes and peaches, should be +watched closely as little flies are apt to collect on them.</p> + +<p>It is most essential that the store room be swept, the +shelves brushed, and everything not of use removed from<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_156" id="Page_156">[156]</a></span> +it every morning. This is true with the care of an ice +box or room. Not a day should pass that it is not thoroughly +inspected and all that is not usable removed +from it, and the room left in a perfectly clean, wholesome +condition. The ice compartment should be washed +out two or three times a week before the fresh ice is put +into the box.</p> + +<p>Do not buy more perishable food than can be properly +taken care of and used within a day or two. Watch it +closely, pick it over each day and throw out any part +which shows signs of decay.</p> + +<p>Do not neglect to replenish the larder before supplies +are out, as transportation is slow. Do not forget that +large quantities take much more time to cook than +small quantities. Many times meals are not served on +time for this reason.</p> + +<p>Make a point of weighing, measuring and apportioning. +It is economy to do so.</p> + +<p>Nail a card in the kitchen on which is given the +quantities of those things which are used constantly +and the number of people each quantity will supply: +sugar, butter, bread, cereal, cocoa, dried fruit.</p> + +<p>Buy only what is needed and can be properly stored. +The second grade of many foods is as good as the first +in taste, and as nourishing. It costs less, and many times +simply because it is not perfect in size or uniformity.</p> + +<p>To buy in bulk is less expensive than to purchase +boxed or tinned goods. This rule for campers pertains +particularly to cereals, crackers, meals, flours, sugar, +cocoa, raisins, etc.</p> + +<p>When buying fresh fruits, vegetables or meat, take +advantage of the market, even if it means a quick +change of menus. A surplus means low prices.</p> + +<p>Having bought what is the best or the best that can<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[157]</a></span> +be afforded, do not spoil it in the preparation, cooking +or serving.

There is a psychology of food which, +if studied, is interesting, and which, if applied, is +most helpful. How many times <i>quantity</i> has not satisfied +an appetite when <i>quality</i> has. Living in the open +creates an appetite, generally for quantity rather than +quality; but this is no reason why the latter should be +overlooked.</p> + +<p>The facilities for cooking and preparing food for obtaining +variety are limited, and for this reason the +deficit must be made up in other ways. Cereals, fats, +liquids, fresh vegetables, fruits and sweets are necessary, +and a little meat may be added. Starchy foods are used +for bulk and should include the cereals, such as rice, +hominy, oatmeal, shredded wheat, cornmeal and macaroni, +and potatoes.</p> + +<p>For fat, butter of the <i>best</i> quality should be used on +the table, and crisco for cooking. Liquids, fresh milk, +the best that can be obtained, cocoa and plenty of pure<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_158" id="Page_158">[158]</a></span> +water; fresh vegetables, any and all kinds procurable; +those which are camp standbys are string beans, beets, +carrots, spinach, peas, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, +lettuce.</p> + +<p>Fresh fruit, if not too expensive, as it is in some parts +of the country, is desirable; otherwise dried fruits must +be used—apricots, peaches, prunes, apples. It is sometimes +possible to secure fresh berries.</p> + + +<p><i>Lamb:</i> For small groups buy a leg or hind quarter of +lamb for roasting, the shoulder for stews, chops for +broiling. For a large group, buy whole lambs and cut +at camp; 40 or 50 pounds is enough for one meal. Before +cooking, wipe off with a damp cloth and rub with +salt.</p> + + +<p><i>Beef:</i> A pot roast is best. Use the top of the round +which can also be used for roasting or making meat pies. +Twenty-five or thirty pounds for a pot roast is sufficient +for 130 people. When buying beef make sure that it is +not too fresh, for it will be tough; also, the fibre should +not be coarse. The meat should be deep red in color +and juicy.</p> + +<p>For soup, buy shin beef.</p> + + +<p><i>Fowl:</i> Chickens are too expensive for camp use. Fowl +properly cooked are very nice. Buy those that are fat +and yellow in color. Four pounds will serve five campers. +Cut the meat from the bones before serving and use the +bones for soup.</p> + + +<p><i>Fish:</i> Fish must be fresh or it is not fit even to be +cooked. It should be firm and look fresh. Small fish, +cod, halibut or special fish in special localities are good +for camp use.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_159" id="Page_159">[159]</a></span></p> + + +<p><i>Sweets:</i> Simple desserts, such as bread pudding, rice +pudding, cottage pudding, apple pudding, Indian pudding, +corn starch, blanc mange, ice cream, apple butter +and jam, sherbets, chocolate pudding, ginger bread +and cookies are used; of course, raw sugar and syrup +in moderate quantities.</p> + + +<p><i>Meat substitutes:</i> Baked beans, cheese, eggs.</p> + + +<p><i>Soups:</i> Soup is wholesome, economical and, when +well made, palatable. It is particularly good on cold +days for supper. Vegetable soups without meat, and +cream soups are the best for campers.</p> + +<p>Save the water in which vegetables have been boiled +for making soup; that drained from rice, potatoes, spinach, +peas or string beans is best. The rice water may +have added to it tomatoes and seasoning. To potato +and spinach water, add milk, thickening and seasoning.</p> + + +<p><i>Breads:</i> Serve rye bread, whole wheat, graham, corn +bread and a limited amount of white bread; too much +of the latter is not healthful.</p> + + +<p><i>Menus:</i> A menu is merely a combination of a few of +the above-listed foods prepared in a variety of ways. +Do not serve two starches at the same time, or two +creamed vegetables, or a starch and vegetables without +a sauce or gravy. Bread of some kind, a liquid and a +fat are served with every meal. For breakfast there +should be cereal, and if desired a stewed fruit, perhaps +eggs in some form, but they are not necessary. +Dinner should include one starch, two fresh vegetables +and a dessert, or, fish, a starch, one green vegetable and +a dessert; or, meat, two vegetables and a dessert; or a +meat substitute, a vegetable, and a dessert. For supper, +fresh or stewed fruit, plenty of milk if possible, a sweet, +and either cheese, peanut butter, a salad or a soup.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_160"

A line-up on +the drill field, and setting-up exercises begin under the +direction of the game counsellor or physical director. +Ten minutes of work and then a mad rush for tents, +wash basins, and the wash house, laughter and joking, +dressing and hair brushing, and four whistles sound. +Housekeepers, housekeepers, housekeepers, come! There +they go carrying in the lanterns that have hung on the +the lamp posts—trees in this case—all night.</p> + +<p>Are your tables ready? Get the bread, the butter, +the milk, and so on and so forth. The Director appears, +a sign that it is time for morning colors. The Color +Guard, five girls from one tent, all in Scout uniform, +"fall in," the bugler joins them, assembly sounds and +everyone but the housekeepers line up on the field. +"Right dress, Front," and the Color Guard, bearing +the flag marches to the flag pole as the Colors are hoisted +and the bugler plays "To Colors." All pledge allegiance +to the flag, sing the Star Spangled Banner. The Guard +leaves the field and with a "Right Face, Forward +March," all file in to breakfast.</p> + +<p>There are always announcements to be made, some +questions to be asked, and after the meal is over, or +just before classes, is a good time to do this.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_175" id="Page_175">[175]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/p175.jpg" width="500" height="353" alt=""Special Delivery." Camp Post Office." title="" /> +<span class="caption">"<span class='smcap'>Special Delivery.</span>" Camp Post Office.</span> +</div> + +<p>Inspection follows—all too soon for some. Tents must +be in order, grounds around them clean, trash boxes +emptied, and each girl in her tent, the chosen leader of +the group, called the Patrol Leader, Court of Honor, or +Orderly, at the door. The Director hears a murmur, +"Here she comes, here she comes"; then all is still. A +salute, a thorough look at grounds around, trash box, +basins, cots, a look into a blanket or two for fear that +hurry has caused some mistakes, and sometimes a look +into dress suitcases, for cleanliness, and order must begin +on the inside, a word of commendation, a suggestion for +improvement and possibly a reprimand, follow.</p> + +<p>The bugler announces the time for classes, each group +whether far or near changing from one class to another, +until the noon hour brings a free period to all.</p> + +<p>The signalling class is under the trees back of the mess +hall, the First Aid group in a shady spot on the edge of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_176" id="Page_176">[176]</a></span> +the woods, the basketry class near their base of supplies +but sitting on the grass in the shade, the nature +lovers in the woods to find new birds and ferns and +flowers—and so it goes.</p> + +<p>During the working hours, the housekeepers have been +busy performing all kinds of necessary camp work. +Some Scouts enjoy all of it, others none of it, but rarely +does anyone fail to do her part. Dinner is served, the +Scouts marching in to the mess hall, as they do for all +meals, and being excused when all have finished. Much +talking and laughter, but orderliness and courtesy, with +an occasional sigh when something does not please, or a +prolonged "ah" when it does, make the time and all +there is to eat disappear in what seems a short time.</p> + +<p>Dinner is followed by rest hour, always difficult for +some temperaments, but a real necessity in camp. Sometimes +it is necessary to discipline in order to have quiet, +or have counsellors on duty near the tents to insure +rest. Whatever can be done to make the Scouts realize +the importance of obeying this rule, should be done.</p> + +<p>Nothing is more looked forward to than the distribution +of the mail unless it is the Canteen. A whistle call +and all tent representatives fairly fly to the post office +window, and eagerly listen for the names of their tent +mates. Which group has the most mail—are there any +packages?</p> + +<p>Letter reading, letter writing, reading, mending, +laundry work, fill the time until the afternoon classes +begin.</p> + +<p>At five-thirty when the call for supper is sounded the +Color Guard "fall in" and while all Scouts stand in +Company formation at attention the Colors are slowly +lowered. The Color Guard is changed every day, each +Guard representing a different tent.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_177" id="Page_177">[177]</a></span></p> + +<p>After supper, canteen is opened. Perhaps a table out +of doors is used as a counter, or one in the mess hall if +it does not interfere with housework. Three or four +Scouts assist the counsellor who has charge of the canteen +and all the goodies on sale for that day are arranged +in tempting fashion before the very eyes of the +waiting group.</p> + +<p>There are so many things to do after supper that each +Scout is given the privilege of making her own choice, +and can join a group for a row, or a walk, a game of +ball or a sing, but all must be back in time for the camp +fire, and goodnight songs, First Call, Taps, and evening +inspection, and last to make sure that all Scouts are +safe and happy and all tents in proper condition, flaps +back and sides up when possible.</p> + +<p>This closes one day. Others like it may follow, but as +a rule no two days are alike. Hikes, visitors, storms, +comings and goings, all vary the schedule tremendously, +but all are needed to teach us how to camp.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Life is sweet, brother, . . .

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/33767-h/images/emblem.png b/33767-h/images/emblem.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644
