The return trip was made on the steamer "City of Grand Rapids." These boys came away from camp with many honors, among which was a pennant awarded to the tent in camp winning the most points in all activi- ties during the two weeks period. The group who won this was composed of Edward Loewenstein, Troop 31, High- land Park, tent leader; John Betak, Troop 22, Glencoe; Donald Huges, Troop 22, Glencoe; Leonard Simon, Troop 21, Glencoe; John Stringer, Troop 21, Glencoe; Walter Roberts, Troop 21, Glencoe; Philip Swabacker, Troop 3, Winnetka, and Cameron Brown, Troop 22, Glencoe. Three north shore boys received the high rating of Honor Camper--Morton Traub, Jr., Troop 31, Highland Park; John Betak, Troop 22, Glencoe; and Brainerd Chapman, Troop 31, High- land Park. Also four other boys re- ceived the rating of Satisfactory Camper, which really means that the Scout receiving this award has been above the average as an all around camper. Those receiving' this honor were Edward Loewenstein, Troop 31, Highland Park; Sidley Chapman, Troop 33, Highland Park; Donald Hughes and Cameron Brown of Troop 22, Glencoe. Other north shore Scouts who participated in this period of camp were : Walfred Miller, Troop 32, Highland Park; Bob Phelps, Troop 32, Highland Park; Robert Crawford, Troop 2, Wilmette; Lowell Mueller, Troop 61, Northbrook; Phillip Meyer, Troop 61, Northbrook. William Clore, Scoutmaster of Troop 61, Northbrook, spent one week at camp this period also. Much advancement was made in Scout tests during this camp period. Two boys completed their second class work: one completed first class; and fifty merit badges were passed, cover- ing a wide variety of subjects.
