ay as possible. Those approximately of one age should be in
the same tents. Also friends like to be together. To know at a glance
what cots are Vacant in any one tent is of help. Also at a glance the
length of time a child has been in camp can be told, the date of coming
and going being recorded. The accompanying Cut C shows a system which
has served its good uses in more than one camp. Perhaps it will be of
service to others. A sheet of fairly heavy paper for each tent record
can be used, and all sheets put in a cover and held in place by clips.
The dates of the month when groups can enter camp are placed at the
left. Every square means a week. Ditto marks mean "remaining in camp,"
and X means leaving camp and signifies an empty cot. At a glance three
cots are seen to be vacant on August 6th, and when new Scouts arrive, as
they should after the outgoing group has gone, it is not difficult for
the Director to place them.
