With the cares and worries of school-life over, or at least tempora arily so until the Autumn commencement, the majority of scouts and wolf' cubs are focussing their thoughts on the various summer camps, some bf which are due" to start shortly. Texbooks are being cast.away int) various nooks and cobwebbed coѓners and from these points of storage, time-worn haver-secks, ponchos, billy-cans and other camping paraphernalia are being brought to light and dusted, as well as being checked for the possibility. of usage for gue more camping season.
The Ist (Cathedral School) Troop's annual summer camp at Peitaiho is the first of these camps to get started. Thirty-five members of both the land and sea scout branches are scheduled to sail on the s, Sygna at about 6 a.m. to-day, jail heavy gear having been put aboard yesterday. Group Scoutmaster H. K. Cassels of the troop is in charge of the camp and it is largely due to him that this troop has been able to hold this camp successively and most successfully for the past three summers.
Acting as assistant camp chiefs will be Assistant Scoutmasters K Heath (on whom will fall the main burden of this years carp), D. Campbell and R. A. Dodd. The latter two scoters have both risen io their present rank in the early part of the year, and although they are perhaps, young in age, that factor is more than jade up by the weight of experience which they have obtained in the troop, the two of them having gone through all the different ranks in the school's cub pack and troop, and each having been actively connected to the troop for the grea er part of leven or twelve yea: Cempbell has also been assigned to the ever-difficult job of camp quarter master. Three rover scouts from the troop's crew will also be lending a hand at this camp. They are Messrs. Brandt, Kale and Baukham, all former patrol leaders in the group.
