BOY SCOUT CAMPOREE In preparation for the National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America at Valley Forge, Pa. the Transylvania District of the Daniel Boone Council held a camporee at the John’s Rock Scout Camp on May 12th and 13th. On their visit to the camp, Scout leaders in the District, many of whom are Ecustans, were greeted with the appetizing odor of frying bacon, sizzling steaks, hamburgers, onions and steaming coffee. Housewives could certainly get a good lesson in cooking from the boys. One patrol was cooking a concoction which we did not taste, but the boys said that it was very good. It consisted of chopped potatoes, four eggs, and chopped bologna, and was cooked in a bucket over a roar ing fire. At the National Jamboree there will be some 45,000 Boy Scouts from all sections of the United States and several foreign countries. There will be 3 troops from the Daniel Boone Council, con sisting of one patrol from each district.

Smathers, Scoutmaster of Troop 2, make the morning inspection of the camps. Bob Garner, Field Scout Exe cutive, checks a Patrol on First Aid. 14
