So many questions are asked concerning camp that we're going to answer a bunch of the most common one.s right here. . Why Should I Go to . Camp? . Trytog to. be: a , S~out without going to camp ts JUSt hke trying to study chemistry without any l~boratory. Ab-so-lute-ly! If this isn't sufficient answer to the question, just read again the Camp dope in thi'.s issue. What Ia the Best Time to Go to Camp? Some claim the first part of the summer is the best; others are strong for the last period. The grub and program is just as good one time as another. Decide for yourself. I Was Not Wise Enough to "Be Prepared" and Now I Haven't the Price Saved Up. Go to it Now! Pep, perseverance and pluck will put any Scout in camp. As a last resort expla'in to dad that it costs as much if not more, to keep you at home a~ it does to send you to camp. Can Friends of Fellows From the Same Troop Get assigned to the same tent in camp? Absolutely. I Have a Buddy Who Is Not a S~out; Could He Go With Me? One of the best good turns you can do is to get another fellow who isn't a Scout to join a liv e troop in time to get to camp. He'll never learn Scouting any younger. He must he at least a registered tenderfoot Scout in order to go. Are There Any Fellows Who Should Not Get to Camp? Yes! Do the woods frighten vou? Does· it hurt your eyes to look at an old swimmin' hole? Do you find it impossible to eat three square meals a day? Does it tire you to play out~oor games? Do camp fires give you headaches? Do you object to camp clothes? Are you ,;ick of studying the stars, the trees and the birds out in the open? Does fresh air distress you? \Veil, you're a worst-class parlor Scout and you're quite right not to sign the camp application. Camping wouldn't agree ,,·ith you. For the Graduate .
