You Are Invited to Suggest "Good Turn" Every good Scout trys to do a good turn every day. But at various times during the year, the troops try to plan a united good turn for some one or some group. Each Scout group is trying to work out a plan whereby it might share with others not quite so fortunate as themselves, some of the things they enjoy. If you know of a good turn that some troop might do, or have any suggestions, you might pass them on to the Scoutmaster of the troop in your local church. You may be the means not only of making people happy, but also helping to build a right spirit in the lives of a group of boys. Troop 30 Newest Group Recruit to North Shore Area Wednesday night, November 14, Troop 30 of Elm Place school, Highland Park, received its first troop charter from na- tional headquarters, making it an official Boy Scout troop of the North Shore Area council. This preseytation marked the first but not the last big event in the life of Troop 30. Three other troops were present to take part in the ceremonies: Troops 21, 32 and 34. The program opened with a pledge to the Flag and the Scout Oath. Mr. Reichardt, district commissioner, said a few words incident to the presentation of the charter. Mr. Van Dyke, chairman of the committee of Troop 30, received the charter on behalf of the troop. The troops then joined in a period of interest- ing games, led by the Scoutmasters of the various troops. The ceremony closed with the Scout benediction. Troop 30 started last spring, but dur- ing the summer months became rather inactive. However, this fall, under the leadership of G. E. Hawkins, Scoutmaster, and Mr. Van Dyke, the Troop committee chairman, things have started off very well, and you can expect to hear more about Troop 30. Watch for them at the Troop Review to be held in the Elm Place auditorium, November 23. Every Scout Looks Ahead to Camp at Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan What boy would not be thrilled at the thought of two weeks in the Wisconsin north woods, in the heart of tangled trails, living in an Indian tepee, or a cabin built like a ship with port holes, and everything--living in an Adirondack shack as the pioneers did, or living in a tree house, a few feet in the air where he can have a complete view of the lake? Add to such a location and such a type of camp home," the fact that he is going to be in Camp Ma-ka-ja-wan, with his pals from home, the members of his Scout troop in their natural group unit and you will understand why hundreds of north shore scouts are eagerly looking forward to the camp season next sum- mer. Any Scouts or parents who desire additional information may have it by writing Scout headquarters. CABIN RESERVATIONS Friday, November 23 open.

Reichardt, district commissioner of the territory including Highland Park, E. M. Conrad, secretary of the Highland Park Lodge, 1362, B. P. O. E., writes: "It has come to the attention of High- land Park I.odge, 1362 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the Uni- ted States of America, that the North Shore Council of the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, have contracted for the purchase of a parcel of land in Wisconsin to be used as a camp for the organization. Realizing the proportion of this under- taking and the wonderful good in the development of our young boys as a re- sult of same, Highland Park Lodge, 1362, takes this opportunity to congratulate you on your action in this matter. As related to this lodge, we are indeed pleased to enclose our check to aid in the purchase of ground for your organiza-= tion in parcel mentioned above. With every good wish for your success. --E. M. Conrad, secretary." Scouts Anticipate Great Time in Winter Camping There is one time of the year, when every red-blooded boy likes to be out- doors--winter time. There is an appeal of the snow and zip of a frosty morning which sets a boys' blood tingling. It is no wonder that a Scout's heart almost stops beating when he thinks of winter camp. For winter camp means sliding, skiing, tobogganing and all sorts of fun. But, in addition to this it means close fellowship and friendship, living in a big cabin with dozens of other fellows. The North Shore council has facilities for only twenty-four scouts during the winter camp at the Cabin-in-the-Woods, but to meet a popular demand, it has ar- ranged for sixteen picked Scouts to at- tend winter camp at Wilderness, Mich., in connection with the camp of the Oak Park council. Parents and Scouts who are desirous of securing more information may get it by phoning local Scout head- quarters, VISITED BY EXECUTIVE Troop 8 did not have a large turnout last week because of Parents' night for the Juniors and Seniors at New Trier High school. Mr. McPeek was there at the opening of the meeting. A little later in the evening, Mr. Bennett was there. Wilbert Kunz, patrol leader of the Rattle- snakes, was in charge of the nieeting. --Roger Delander, Troop 8, Baptist church, Wilmette.
