He described In detail the preparations necessary some mohthsiahead,|the most Impprtaiit being the selection of a camp site. Advising the selECtlon of well-drained land (prefer ably with a slight slope), Mr. Biirrow said it 'vVas essential that there should be an adeqiiatel supply of PUre idrlnklng water. In base cf roiigh weather, an adjacent barml lnfwhlch to, shelter, was a great convenience; also it was important that thebe; shopldl be a supply of W()od for fuel neafhy. Swhlle a good view added to the pleasure of camping, it .was advisable to selelcl; a pbslflon sheltered from the wind, ’rhdsb In charge of the camp would do weh to ipake preliminary Inquiries as to the safety! of bathing; sometimes maps could| be| obtained, showing danger spots, and maps'wbfe of great assistance!. Pro’- perlyiorganlsed, camping was a great joy. In the Scout movement, campers were taught thej value of method and cb-mper- atlon; Under right conditions, camping played an important part in the charac ter'training jof; youth. I ,!
