Camp. Makajawan, the new Boy Scout caimp for the northâ€" shore. The location is ideal for the purpose as it is located in a beautiful forest of birch and pine with a mirâ€" rorâ€"like lake on the property. It is so located that strangers seldom find it, yet the camp is not hard to reach with a car. They have 360 acres and zeccess to thousands of acres of timâ€" ber lands to roam or make overnight hikes. Enough can not be said in praise of the officers in charge, Mr. Rybolt and his assistant, Mr. Mcâ€" Manus. They are careful to the exâ€" trome which is a good fault when one takes in consideration that we place cur boys in their charge for two weeks or more. â€"The swimming is safer than any public bathing besch as every few minutes all swimâ€" mers ire checked and the "Buddy" system is used which no doubt you know is used in all Boy Scout camps at present. There is a fully equipâ€" ped. hospital â€"with a physician in charge at all times so there is no danger from that score. The food is well prepared and very tasty. The boys sure like it and come back for more.â€" There â€"isâ€"attâ€"the pure pasturâ€" ized milk the boys can drink. The camp as a whole is a wonderful sucâ€" A regular feature prepared each week by members of ‘the Boy Scout Press Club cess. . No petty quarrels the boys are satisfied and are too busy doing worthwhile things. That is what imâ€" pressed me more than anyone thing the boys are busy at all times and if a boy is busy, he is happyâ€"not busy doing drugery tasks like KP for there is paild help to ‘attend to that duty, but they are busy making something and working to attain highor â€"hanors« in sechtinge. > These men are giving our boys intensive training in the most worthwhile things in the worldâ€"clean thinking, acting, and living.â€"H. A. Storms. â€" Campfire Program ~ Evening campfire at Camp Makaâ€" jawan are one of the most looked fcrward to parts of the days proâ€" gram. Campfire programs generally start at eight o‘clock â€"and. lastuntil nine. The programs which furnish so; much ‘enjoyment to th@ â€"entire campâ€" membéership ares alternately held on a camp and troop basis> When hehd by the troop, the campfire is ordinarily in the area used by the trocp as its camp. _ When held by the entire camp under camp leaderâ€" «hip, the campfire is sometimes in the mess hall, where thére is a large, fireâ€" place,. and on. other occasions it is held on Campfire Point in front of the mess hall, where the bluff dropping off to the lake forms a natural amphiâ€" theatre. _ Hers a fireplace has been Built by thecboys. â€" Stunts presented during the evâ€" viing‘s entertainment are made up of, :most anything imaginable.. On one sccasion each troop will present a stunt.. On anothsr occasion their perâ€" fâ€"rmance must be in the musical line. Another night will find the officers nerforming with song and â€" dance. Stories are almost always in order and many different types are told. Every scout that returns front camp brings with him happy memories of these campfire prbgrams whe he sat with his buddy and enjoyed the efâ€" forts of his .comrade campers, or when he added his bit to make the vrogrzm successful. â€" Lloyd Wightâ€" man. * + Previsional Troop Advancing at Camp The scouts of camp Minominee, one â€"f the Makajawan camps at Elcho, Wisâ€"onsin, are doing good work in passing tests and the like.> A few boys are making their merit badge sashes color up with the many badges. Cur camp â€" scoutmaster. ; Mr. Dave Hicks. knows his stuff and sure masâ€" ters the camp well. When we had a practice fire drill he saw to it that the boys got down to the mess hall hike down the camp trail and on route 55. T EBE PR ES 8 The boys cleaned tup the camp durâ€" ing camp cleanâ€"up hour pretty well and are preparing for a fine camp fireplace. \ At camp fire we made up some camp cheers and a fine camp song. Our Camp Minominee is a provision camp, made up of scouts from variâ€" ous troops, of the North Shore Area Council.â€"Henry Scheskie, Jr., Troop 38, Highland Park. __________ es Scout Service A secut from the Robert E. Lee council of the Boy Scouts of Amerâ€" ica at Petersburg, Virginia will be selected in the near future to particiâ€" pate on .the westernâ€" tour of ~the Travel Guild Bureau of Charlotte, N.~C., according to advice received from the scout executive in that city. The scout willâ€"réceive the trip as a result of a good turn rendered to the Travel Guildâ€" Bureau :by the Boy Scouts > ofâ€"â€" Petersburg. Recently when a caravan of the Travel guild stopped at Petersburg, the chamber of commerce was advised to their arâ€" rival and nctified scout headquarters with a result that Scoutmaster Harry Gansborn was assigned to meet them. With a troop of scouts he served at the camp. The scouts acted as guides, ran for information, did erâ€" rands for the people on the tour and their work as*so greatly appreciated that the manager asked for the privâ€" ilege of including oneâ€"of the scouts on the next western trip of the comâ€" pany in August. The tour will take three weeks and the secut will ‘have. an opportunity of traveling from Virâ€" ginia to. California. > ‘ Attention! Make Way! . > e The King! _ . Is he crazy! Or is he just lazy and sane? Some fifty odd loyal subjects suppert his majesty, the one and only Robert J. Wilkins( applause or applesauce) in his sanity. On the other hand, two and oneâ€"half score of the Bolshvicks, oppose him on every side. Thus Thursday, at Camp Makajawan, is the scene of exciteâ€" ment, resultant of Abbysinia‘s ruler, as he studdered through the common jabber in :crude fashion. His majâ€" esty is accustomed to being in an elevated position literally and figurâ€" atively, and so take his meals above the common people either on the manâ€" tel, the office partition, or what have you. Heralded by a trumpet, he is greeted by equally divided cheers and jeers. His valet, Alvinâ€" W. Bartholeâ€" mew, performs all the petty duties of attention and service. He leads the royal toast. And tonight, in the courtroom, the faithful subjects in â€"trail wilt defend the kingâ€"against ait the onslaughts of those disloyal ones under command of the arch villian, Bob Anspach. ‘The attorney for the de.â€" fense, Don.Minor, of the Chippewas, willâ€" strive to disapprove all claims to His Highness, insanity. The prosâ€" ecuting attorney will be Gordon Cutâ€" ler. True, the antiâ€"Royalists are strong, but, Long Live the King! And this, my folks, is justâ€"a scene from the game, "The Crazy King of Abysinia," as played at the Makajaâ€" wan camp.â€"Don Minor. Highland Parkâ€"Highwood Press Club Troop 33â€"Thursday our camp went on an overnight hike to Rolling Stofc lake. Our baggage and eats for two meals were "taken on the ford truck to the lake. We walked about two miles to a logging railroad where we turned north and hiked four more miles to a lumber camp where we turned and went about a quarter of a mile to the place+we camped.> We had pup tents and I took my sleepâ€" ing bag along. There were a lot of lumberjacks and two or three million logs. The trees up there are up to four feet in diameter. Around the camp the trees are small because they _ are all second growth. Today all theL fellows in our troop went home except Fox, Morgan, Davidson, Camp Two. All the greenhorns are sent forâ€" "shoreline, tent stretchers, yardsticks, etc." They are also beâ€" ing orderlies.â€"Judson Wells, Troop 33, Highland Park. R Plan Exploration Hike â€" Last Wednesday evening. found Troop 33 meeting on the beach, just north. of Cedar avenue, here several. ‘of the boys went in for a dip and later came out to . dry around the campfire. â€" â€"While: gathered around the fire, plans for the r¢mainder of the summer were discussed,â€" and rfany suggestions made. Theâ€" troop will go on an exploration hike next Saturday when they will hike along the lake shore north to some point. â€"Troop Reporter. ks f Highwood Troop Meeting Troop 37 held its last meeting at the beach, July 18. The scouts had planned to go in swimming, but were unable to do so because of a storm so they played "follow the leader." Mr Roth,* Mayor ~of Highwood, acted as leader. This meeting is only one ofâ€" the many that Mr. Roth has helped m#ké® interesting and enjoyâ€" able.â€"Scout. Jacocbh Jeppésen, â€"Troop 37,, Highwood. .
