Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy's Camp Book: A Guidebook Based Upon the Annual Encampment of a Boy Scout Troop; The Second of a Series of Handy Volumes of Information and Inspiration
It perhaps is unfortunate that the title of this book is not more explanatory Of the exact nature of the contents; for it is not devoted to the entire subject of camping, as some may suppose. If this is so, the same, in a measure, may be said Of the previous volume, The Boy Scout's Hike Book, which, however, will be found to contain more than its title may imply. Yet I doubt if a more practical division of the material in the two books could be made. Therefore, I must trust to the judgment of the reader, which, I believe, will in most cases tell him that The Boy Scout's Hike Book must necessarily contain chapters on camping out on hikes, and the subject thus having been covered, there is nothing left but to devote this volume entirely to the annual encampment. Inasmuch as the latter is the event of the year, it will be self-evident to every boy that nothing less than a complete book could do it justice. AS to whether this book is complete and does do.the subject justice - why, that is quite a different matter I'll have to leave it to Jim.
