THE
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA have blazed the trail of camping and other outdoor
activities for boys. Winter
camps and all-weather hikes are a comparatively new phase of Scouting, but
they have grown so rapidly in interest that some communities report more boys in
short term and winter camps during the school year than in all the outdoor
activities of the summer vacation period.
