K. at about 9:30 and after marching the various troops from Harrisburg, Tyrone, Clearfield and Carlisle over to the camp from the station, used the rest of the afternoon lining up the tents, digging ditches and pounding stakes, to the great discomfiture of the new recruits whose first taste of camp life tasted rather bitter due to blistered hands and new callouses. "We played a short concert for the Regiment Saturday evening and retired at an early hour.

Sunday morning we were packed in two army trucks and sent to Mt. Gretna where we rendered selections for the annual reunion of the 28th division and also played at their memorial services.

The low who should have helped me late so I had to do most of the work. After the dishes were washed, had to sweep up the dirt and take the ashes. I got back to my hut in time to my things for inspection by three four of the men. As a reward for perfect shack, scouts are given "Belly-Scratcher" for the day. "Belly-Scratcher" is a collection claws, teeth and different ornaments strung on a wire.

Our shack hasn't been fortunate enough to get "Belly-Scratcher" yet. In the camp are about 60 or boys divided into two colonies- the Beaver and Red Cloud. Each colony is divided into four shacks holding from four to eight, or more fellows. After inspection we have a period of Scoutcraft. Different tests passed.

If one does not pass his test one day, he must stick to it the next day. At 11:00 there was a period swimming until 11:45. After that had mess. For dinner we had potatoes cabbage and meat with a dessert. was still on K.

P. and that took some time. At 2 P. M. at Assembly we met the State Geologist, Dr.

Ashley, who took us on a hike and explained different rock formations. He talked millions of years, as if they were merely days. From then on until 4:00 P. M. we loafed around the shack.

At 4:00 we were in the swimming hole. After recreational swimming we tried out for Swimmers' Buttons. Each fellow must pass certain tests before he given a Swimmer's Button and that gives him the privilege of swimming from the larger float. After our swim we just had time dress and get ready for Colors. When the Bugle for 'Colors' blew, each colony went down to the athletfield to colors which is a very impressive ceremony.

We then went to mess where we had potatoes, whistleberries (beans) and other things. After supper we loafed until call for Campfire. The campfire place is amphitheater-like clearing. Each night the winner of the 'Bellyscratcher' makes a fire by friction flint and steel. No matches are used.

Each colony takes turns in putting on program. After some singing, the colony puts on their stunt. One group boasted of a 'strong A boy lay down and four boys down with their legs over the boy. They then called to a fat boy told him to lie on his stomach every boy and the fellow underneath would lift them up. Instead of that, as soon as the fat boy was down, they started to paddle him but got back at them by rolling over.

After Campfire we went back to shacks prepared for bed. Taps blew and another day was spent, with, I hope, some profit for every Scout.
