The following reactions of older Scouts are quoted to show what the fetlows who went to Winter camp ~t Wilderness, Mich., shortly after Christmas, really felt they had obtained from the experience : A fifteen vear old Star Scout says: "the thin~r i got most out of winter camp which means most to me, is the good fellowship and association with the other bovs. I particularly had an opporttuJit.v to work on a merit badge program. Another Scout with all the enthusiasm and impatience of youth says: "I would insist on faster details." He adds, "My patrol has meant the n~o s t to me. While they were not particularly point getters. they were such a fine gang of good felto\'VS." A Senior Patrol Leader in his troop says: "The confab has meant most to me and made me a better Scout than any other experience I have ever had. I think winter camp has made me and probably every other Scout! better Scouts. I have tried to obey the Scout laws and have slipped only a few times." When asked to write down whether or not he considered that he had learned and deserved an Honor rating, one boy said: "It is a hard que.stion to answer. All that I cat;I say ts , that I have tried." Other quotations along with these show that the boys themselves actualty experienced a big event in their lives; that they are taking back wit.h them from Winter Camp an expenence that will make them better men in the future. Scout Directo,·y Do You Know- Scout Movement Becomes of Age at Anniversary Boy Scout Anniversary Week this year witt be of special significance because in addition to marking the nineteenth birthday of the Boy Scouts of America, it also marks the, "coming of age," of the Boy Scout movement internationally. With a record of twenty-one years of world-wide service, under the leaqership of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Chief Scout of the world, and with forty-three nations represented in the International Scout Bureau of London, England, the Boy Scout m~ve ment claims to be the greatest umted effort in behalf of any by boys of which history holds record. At present there are more than 1,8()(1000 Boy Scouts in the world, with the Boy Scouts of Americ.a leading in enrotlment with more than 800,000. TROOP 30 BUSY Mr. Hawkins took charge of Troop 30 at its last meeting. Mr. VanDyke and Mr. Leach were also there. Our troop is growing. We hope to have three full patrols soon.
