In a letter to parents, Scout Execu- tive Walter McPeek outlines some reasons why a period at Owasippe will pay dividends in boy character: The Owassippi Scout Camps, 7 in number, accommodate at one time more than 1,000 Scouts. These camps, be- cause of their successful and efficient operation, have become known nation- ally and are the largest boys' camps west of the Allegheny Mountains. They are conducted by the Chicago council, Boy Scouts of America, and are located near Whitehall (Muskegon county), Michigan. (P.O. Address-- Owassippe, Michigan). What a Period at Owassippe Offers Every Scout--The Owassippe Scout camps situated in the beautiful lake country of Northern Michigan far away from the hurry of people, the soot, dirt and heavy air of the city, offer an opportunity to stretch the muscles and breathe fresh air. The Owassippe Scout camps give a lease on all outdoors. Most boys after spending nine months in school feel a bit sluggish, but when they get out in the woods, especially up at Owassippe, they can fairly feel their red blood © SA BGA TTS S = 23 -- raw wr) A BGI AM I PITTA IET EIT ' NTT tingle. One will want to break loose and run like a deer, swim like a fish, and climb a tree like a squirrel The Owassippe Scout camps present an opportunity to receive a real knowl- edge of Scoutcraft, handicraft, nature- craft, watercraft, woodcraft, campcraft and funcraft. What knowledge! What fun! What inspiration awaits one! Leadership--A most important con- sideration in any boys' camp is the leadership. Without that a camp with the finest equipment possible would pe a failure. Men selected for leadership at camp are of the very highest type, consider- ed not only from the standpoint of character and knowledge of Scoutcraft, but also because of their understanding of boys and experience in boy leader- ship. Health--Parents can rest assured that every precaution possible is taken at all times at camp to insure the health of campers. A licensed physi- cian is on the Headquarters Staff and is assisted by a doctor in each one of the camps. Accidents and illness in camp are rare. Every Scout, upon arriving at camp, must have had a thorough physical examination, and rules regarding health and sanitation are rigidly enforced. Only the best of plain, wholesome food is served and all menus are approved by expert dieticians, ; Program--A varied and elective pro- Everything for the Musical Home 1'Portable Victrolas & Radios!!!

A radical departure from the former program of the camps will be made this year which will make it possible for every camper to enjoy a new and varied experience. The program will be made up of adventure, thrills, and clean, wholesome activity. Swimming--Swimming at Owassippe is conducted under ideal conditions, and instruction is given in every branch, from the beginner who cannot swim at all, up to the most advanced swimmer. This important activity is under the supervision of Red Cross life-saving experts. Swimming is per- mitted only at certain stated hours and competent adult leaders are always in attendance. Owassippe has won for the past 2 years the National Lock- wood Trophy for having taught the greatest nuniber of boys to swim. Boating-- WHAT SPORT! Next to swimming, boating is probably the most popular sport at camp. Instruc- tion is given to all Scouts in the handling of boats and canoes and this sport is under the supervision of a leader at all times. Hiking--Scouts in camp have ample opportunity to satisfy the craving all normal boys have for roughing it "out on their own." Special emphasis will be placed this season on overnight hikes.
