Camp Hunt Changed Recently Supt. E. Allen Bate-man, Bate-man, chairman of the council camping committee announced a change in policy at Camp Hunt for 1938. The change provides that each Scout Camper will pay $1.25 in addition to his regular 50c camp fee. For this extra fee the Council will provide the noon meal for the campers. It is expected ex-pected that the noon meal will be the big meal of the day and will relieve the scouts from the tedious responsibility of so much cooking and will provide then with a wholesome well 'balanced meal. At a council meeting held Tuesday Tues-day evening, after some discussion it was felt that this arrangement may keep some boys from camp, since under the old plan it would be possible for them to take some food from home. However it would probably cost them as much as it would under the new plan. A mo- Reports Advancement I, Chairman Harold M.
