Copy_of_Aaaffxx.jpg (28940 bytes)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. 
James E West, 1927
