Scout News Week-End Camp at Glen Oak

Ray Jerringham led the pro camp side. John Barton led the con side. The group impressed with prep, motto Be Prepared, and strong presentation. Nighttime misadventures included Tommo mistaking moonlight for daylight and a rabbit drive in which 36 rabbits were captured for funds. Camp Fire featured Tenderfoots and older scouts, with songs and sketches, as Don Oakes Barry Host David Laws waved farewell.
