Bob Brooks transported the boys to Percy Caslick's farm, in Bateson's truck, where the open camping area was surrounded by trees. The boys arrived about 2 p.m. Wednesday. A horse- shoe was formed and they were instructed to divide each pa- trol into two groups. One group set up the patrol tent and the other prepared the cooking area and made the patrol fire. The flag was broken by the troop leader and the troop colors raised. A bulletin board, with the camp schedule, was put up, and then the Scouts set about making camp gadgets A fire lighting contest was held at suppertime. The Cou- gars, with George Jardine as patrol leader, had their fire ready for cooking before the others. After supper the boys played capture the flag and sat around the main camp telling ghost stories. There was a procession to the council fire, where Mr. Caslick and Miss Thelma Dob- son were guests, Skits were presented and Miss Dobson of- fered a prayer at the close. The boys returned to their tents to have a bedtime snack, but a slight sprinkle of rain sent them scurrying for bed. Many of the Scouts were up about 5 a. tn. , lighting fires to get warmed up, but others stayed snug in their sleeping bags until tater. Breakfast was cooked shortly after seven. Most of the boys had figured on buying eggs frotn Mr. Caslick, but soon learned he had no hens. Scouts who had taken eggs found them in great de- mand, and were being offered ey and Mrs. Don Adams was seventh. Door prizes were won by several of the ladies.

After flag break, ::r.outer Bob McIntyre inspected the patrol campsites. All patrols had orderly tents and cooking areas but the Buffaloes, with Steve Gorrie as P.L. , earned special recognition. Three sessions of instruction took place. Scouter Bob gave instruction on campfire light- ing; Quartermaster Bob Crew - son on knife and axe handling and Troop Leader Dave Wenger on compass. The leaders then switched courses for testing the Scouts. Scouter Bob tested the boys on knife and axe, Bob Crewson on compass and Dave Wenger on fire lighting. After lunch the Scouts play- ed Indians and Messengers. Bob Brooks arrived with the truck and the boys broke camp. The flag was lowered and the gear loaded. Most of the boys wanted to stay a second night. The lead- ers were pleased that the outing had been successful, but since they had only planned for one night, felt they should return home. It has been reported that some of the young lads went to bed at suppertime on Thursday and slept right through to the next morning. The Scouts and leaders are grateful to Mr. Caslick for the use of his property, to Bateson's Dairy for supplying the truck for transportation, and to Bob Brooks, the driver.
