There is an appeal of the snow and zip of a frosty morning which sets a boys' blood tingling. It is no wonder that a Scout's heart almost stops beating when he thinks of winter camp. For winter camp means sliding, skiing, tobogganing and all sorts of fun. But, in addition to thi s it means close fellqwship and friendship, living in a big cabin with dozens of other fellows. The North Shore council has facilities for only. twenty-four scouts during the winter camp at the Cabin-in-the-Woods, but to meet a popular demand, it has arranged for sixteen picked Scouts to attend winter camp at Wilderness, Mich., in connection with the camp of the Oak Park council. · Parents and Scouts who are desirous of securing JOJ>re information may get it by phoning local Scout headquarters.
