November 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 9 DADS SCOUT GUESTS AT BIG MEETING THURSDAY | Civic Organizations Also Rep- resented; Several Speeches Made At Community House Thursday evening, the Winnetka district of the North Shore Area, Boy Scouts, con- ducted a special meeting for the fath- ers of Winnetka Scouts. The Boy Scouts were told the preceding week to bring their dads with them when they came to Community House for the Scout meeting, and a considerable number responded. Representatives were present also from the Rotary club, the Chamber oi Commerce, the Masonic lodge, the Ainerican legion, the Izaak Walton league, and the dif- ferent Winnetka Church groups, to- gether with the members of the troop committees of the three different troops of Boy Scouts now active in Winnetka. There are more than 175 Scouts, in seven groups, at the present time, and Scout officials hope that this number will be increased to 200 within the next two or three weeks. Harold W. Snell, chairman of the Winnetka district committee, intro- duced the honorary chairman, Henry F. Tenney, president of the village, who spoke briefly on the values of scouting in Winnetka, stressing the point that this village has had a con- tinuous experience in scouting since 1910, when the original Troop No. 1 was organized by "Chief" Davies. Charles A. Steele, of Glencoe, vice- president of the executive board of the North Shore Area council was then introduced. He described in some de- tail the organization of the North Shore Area council, its functions, and what the local communities which or- ganized the council and their Scouts are getting out of this co-operative work. Describes Summer Camp James R. Goetz, Scoutmaster of Troop No. 15, described the new sum- mer camp site which has just been purchased by the North Shore Area, and the plans for buildings and equip- ment. It is anticipated that more than 300 Scouts from north shore towns will be able to spend at least a fortnight in camp there next summer. The site is 12 miles from Elcho, Forest county, Wisconsin, 290 miles from Chicago and not far from Rhinelander. : Walter McPeek, Scout executive, whose headquarters are in Highland Park, was also present and answered questions relative to the work being done in the Area.
