August 4, 1928 WINNETKA TALK BUY 360 ACRE SCOUT CAMP AT SPRING LAKE North Shore Area Council Boy Scouts of America Acquires Ideal Site in Wisconsin A camp site in northern Wisconsin comprising 360 acres and taking in the entire shore line of more than two miles on Spring Lake has been negoti- ated for by the North Shore Area Boy Scout Council. Immediately after the formation of the north shore council two years ago, the camp committee, headed by Charles A. Steele of Glencoe, began planning a summer camp. Members of the committee have examined various properties and several weeks ago rec- ommended to the executive board that the three ownerships comprising the entire territory around Spring Lake be purchased. Some time ago the exec- utive board approved the proceedings and last week the papers were signed, making the camp a surety. Occupy Chicago Camps As its "good turn," the Chicago coun- cil welcomed the scouts from the North Shore council at their camp last year and during the present summer. Nearly a hundred scouts attended Camp Checaugau last summer and ap- proximately a hundred and fifty this summer. It is estimated that more than 300 of our 930 North Shore scouts under the leadership of their own scoutmaster will attend the new camp next year. Spring Lake, on which the camp will be built, is located 290 miles north of New Trier, 35 miles southeast of Rhinelander. It is 25 miles northeast of Antigo and only 214 miles off of highway 55 to the scenic highway through the Menominee Indian reser- vation. Spring Lake, on which the camp will be built, is 30 miles from the edge of the Shawno Indian reser- vation and 5 miles from the scenic Wolf river.
