He has set going within, inside‘of him, the Boy Scout oath. and he cannot stop it. He cannot preach. He does not know how.

"near Sir: Last Sunday morning when I was mired with my car in a hog in the Glen View Forest Preserve, Scout -_--_- 'ePV of Troop - of Wilmette came to my rescue.

Scout - then drove out of his way to the Glen View Chicago Motor Club station and had the service truck come out to help me. "True to the instinct of a Scout, he would aeeept nothing for his survive. I would not feel happy to allow this pleasant incident to pass without expressing my appre. ciation." Below is a eisriy of the letter re. ceivod last fall by Scout Executive Myron C.

THE TRUE SCOUT SPIRIT THE SCOUT Very truly Pprs, (Name withheld) Skukie valley Each spring, the camping commit- tee of the North Shore Area Council under the leadership of Charles A. Steele, Glencoe, stages a Scout Camp O-Ral. This is a competitive over- night camping contest open to one patrol of eight boys from each troop. This term Camp O-Ral may be a new term to many. Let it be explained by the following paragraph: The Camp O-Ral is a rally in camp, but a different kind of rally,. it is a patrol event, where each pa- trol comes equipped to live "on its own," camping out over night under its own shelter and participating in several field projects which will not be known to the competitors until that part of the program begins. From the inspection at the start un- til the Camp-O-Ral is officially clased. every action (or lack of it) is sub. ject to judging by the oMeials. Provides Opportunity The Camp-O-Ral provides the great- est possible opportunity for the ex- pression of the patrol method as the competing teams are completely on their own. They are Judged on their ability as a result of their Scout training to meet any problems which may be presented to them. Competitive Over-Night Camp. ing Rally Every Spring for N. S.
