There is nothing dearer to the heart of the average, boy than the adventure of Camp Life. The bracing
air, the sunlight, blue skies, in touch with nature, or battling against the elements in the spirit of combat to keep his tent standing to give him shelter is the salt of life to the true camper. Camp Life, with all its attractions is the enviable lot of every Boy Scout.
