Troop Camps Need
Camping comes into its own next month. The big event
for March is your Troop Camp, with every Patrol out to
show its stuff. Naturally, the kind of experience your
boys have depends in large measure on the kind of
equipment on hand. Now's the time to check your Unit's
gear. What can't be mended must be replaced, so plan
on doing both this month. For the new equipment you
require, visit your Scout Distributor. He alone has that
good Official gear.
