er, and through the roof for
18 inches.

Charge the pit with 175 gallons of water and 240 pounds of Kaustine, a
patented chemical compound. By moving the agitator handles from side to
side whenever the latrine is used all solid matter is brought in contact
with the Kaustine solution and decomposed.

As with all other latrines, the house must be kept clean and the seats
scrubbed each day. It is not necessary to use any disinfectants in this
type of house, but it should have two doors and windows.

2. FIRST AID

First Aid supplies are a necessity in camp and should always be
provided. Some one person must be responsible for them and when possible
this person should be either a trained nurse or a practical nurse.

Essential Supplies

Absorbent cotton
Sterile gauze
Bandages
Iodine
Vaseline
Bicarbonate of soda
Castor oil
Alcohol and sugar of lead (for ivy poisoning)
Hot water bottle
Alcohol
Aromatic Spirits of Ammonia
Epsom salts
Small alcohol stove and pan
Cascara
White enamel basin
Towels

The nurse should have a tent or a corner in some building where a table
and shelf covered with oil cloth and a bed can be placed and all
supplies properly cared for. No one should be allowed to take any of the
supplies without her permission.

3. FIRE PREVENTION

It is advisable to have in every camp, pails of water standing in the
mess hall, in the kitchen, or in other accessible places, or small
chemical fire apparatus to be used in case of necessity. A fire drill is
also an essential provision.

Place the indoor camp stove on a concrete base with zinc back of it.

In building the mess hall chimney, be sure that two flues are built, in
case one needs to be used for the kitchen stove pipe, as one flue cannot
be used for two fires.

4. THE HEALTH WINNER IN CAMP

Before any child is admitted to a Girl Scout camp she should have been
thoroughly examined by a competent physician. These examinations should
be arranged for by the Local Councils. With very slight effort it is
possible to enlist the interest of physicians, particularly women
physicians, in making these examinations.

The accompanying certificate (p. 52) is particularly recommended as
preferable to an informal statement. This certificate, properly filled
out, should be of great assistan
