oyithjhem loneseouts s- r the lovely weather which we have beeu experiencing of late causes us to think of that fascinating subject or at least it should be fascinating to every lone scout camp the tendency of recent years has been unfortunately as far as boys camps are coucerned to get away from the original pioneering spirit of camp and to iiass hoys in a large readymade habitation which lias been styled a camp but which is really a collection of huts or buildings per manently and more resem bling a hotel holiday resort or a way side motorists ovoruight camp than anything that the chief scout ever had in mind when he originated tho boy scout movement in that original scout camp at brownsea islaud in kuglaiid the permanent camp business seems to have had its origi with our friends on tho south of tho interna tional line and from the poiut of view of saving work and handling the largest number of boys with the least possiblo adult assistance it per il s has its advantages but it is a very poor substitute for the joys of camping as known by those who have roughed it out in the open with ouly a small tent and who have had to carry their own water and cook their own breakfast i dont think that any real scout could delude himself into thinking that he was really camping if he stayed t one of these mass camps which are in reality a home from home we who are lone scouts have prob ably already experienced the joy of going off into tho wilds to make our own camp with the materials which have been to hand and if you have not tried this you should not pass up the opportunities which his summer will bring to you lone patrols will no doubt this sea son find lots of fun camping together either making their own sleeping shel ters or taking along those jolly little puptents which are so easily car ried and are to ho obtained so cheaply those individual lone scouts who do not care to go alone should en deavor to link up with their nearest lone scout neighbor and plan expe ditious with him and they will be amply repaid by the fun and experi ence which thoy will gain for the past two years the lone cout departmeat in ontario has or ganized a special lone scout caip at a place near brantford and a number of lonies from all over the province have each rear attended this camp and happy times were spent together over a period of about two weeks owiug however to the very extra ordinary groath of the lone scout movement during the past year it has been decided not to attempt to hold a large camp this year as it would be tootiuwieldy but rather to oncour- ago theliioneering spirit in the lonies and get them to organize camps by patrols or as individual scouts from a training point of view this will be invaluable as only by experi ence can many things he learned and the mistakes you make at your first camp will not be repeated when you go again so louie3 do not wait for a lono scout department camp this year but go ahead and organize your own camp and write to your scoutmaster for any information you may want and let him know just what you are doing several lone scout patrols have already roceived invitations to camp with other regular troops for in stance the silver foxe3 at pickering have been invited to go with the 5th oshawa troop and this is a very nice arrangement indeed any lone scout who would like lo camp with some regular troop is ask ed to let u3 know and we will inform him just where the most convenient camp will he held this summer we have had quite a number of offers from troops to take lone scouts along with them if you are not a lone scout yet and would like to share in all tho fun which we lonies have write for par ticulars to tho lone scout depart ment the boy scouts association 330 hay street toronto 2 lone e
