life was adventure . . . with a
purpose." and as the boys thrilled
to the adventures in the great out
doors they learned to get along
with each other, studied nature,
mastered skills of woodlorc and
gained Self-reliance at the same
time.
The camping sessions were open
to non-members as well as "Y"
members and the rales were all
the same. First come, first serve

boys get a chance to eat it.

Boy Scouts
Enjoy Week
At Makualla
A week of camping at Camp
Makualla on Crescent Lake usual
ly highlights the year for many:
of the Boy Scouts in the Klamath
Falls district.
Makualla is the summer train
ing camp of the Modoc Area Coun
cil of which the Klamath Falls
district is a part. Here, the 55
troops of the council learn the
skills of scouting and character
development with the expert help
of the camp staff.
Each of the nine troop sites is
nn exclusive living area that is
picked in advance by individual
troops. Each of the 2fi Klamath
Kails district troops choose the
week they wish to attend camp
t'.id pick their own food plan.
They either cat in the dining hall
or cook their own meals at the
troop site.
In addition to the usual cimp
features such as water safety,
nature lore, basic scouting, skills
and conservation, the camp oflers
trail cooking, hack packing ad
venture and wilderness expedi
t ions.
Once a week a member of the
slate game commission gives in
formative and educational lec
tures on conservation of natural
resources, and conducts "show
me" field trips to acquaint the
hoys with wildlife and flora in
their natural habitat.
The learning - by - doing train
ing experiences don't take up all
the scouts' time and several spe
cial camp-wide evenls give scouts
an opportunity to put their skills
to use in comjiolitivc events.
Some district scouts take a
unique way to get to camp, hiking
some 70 miles along the skyline
trail from Diamond Lake to (Yes
rent. Seventeen boys and one adult
leader from the roum il took thi
trek last summor. They fished
along the way and ale dehydrat
