EXPLAINS PURPOSE OF SCOUT FUND PLAN R. Arthur Wood, Chairman of Central Committee Tells Why Money Is Needed Thunduy, February 5, 1981 In addressing a recent meeting of l seventy captains of Boy Scout cum- paign teams. R. Arthur Wood, of“ Highland Park, president of the Chi. cago Stock Exchange and chain-mini of the campaign central committeew explains the necessity and the put-3 pose of the 850,000 project " tot-' lows: "On Spring Lake, up in the Wis-l consin woods, amid surroundings un-i surpassed for beauty even in this) scenic region, lies Comp MI-Kl-Ja-1 Wan. This property, belonging to; North Shore Area council. covers 3601 acres, including the lake of approx-l imately 100 acres. 1 Camp Foundation Laid I "About two years ago it became apparent that the council's scouting program was being seriously handi- capped by lack of an adequate camp- site and equipment. Camping being the heart of scouting. a group of our citizens made possible the camp's acquisition. and there laid the foun- dation for citizenship training upon which we are now privileged further to build. Through their contributions and arrangements for temporary fi. nancing, Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan has for two seasons played a steadily in. creasing role in the life of our youth. "To free the camp from oblitrationsi and to equip it so that it mny nde-g quately fill its indiclted place in the life of our boys is to accomplish something far greater than to pro- vide a pleasant holiday site. It will provide them, in increasing numbers,) a place where they may become rtr-) event through a new intimacy with) nature, capable through an "sump-l tion of new responsibilities, and in-‘ spired by the precept and example oC leader and counselor. l "For Camp Mn-Ka-Ja-Wan an ade- quate kitchen is urgently needed, as are satisfactory refrigerator nnd un- itary installations. More docks, boats, canoes 'and other waterfront equipment; additional tentage. tent puttormr, and cots: cabins and other necessary camp buildings; some addi- tional acrenge; these are require- ments if the comp is to be brought to a high level of effieieney and en- abled to meet the demands to be made upon it. Improvements Essential "These improvements are essential if our camp is to compare favorably with other scout camps in its stand.. ards and results. "The council executive board has carefully estimlted its minimum needs for 1931. During the year, if the funds required are secured, not only will scouting be mule “nibble to an increasing number of boyn, but “renter facilities and I more compre- henlive prognm will be provided for them.
