oing into camp it is essential to have a few "Standing Orders"
published, which may be added to from time to time, if necessary. These
should be carefully explained to patrol leaders, who should then be held
fully responsible for their Scouts carrying them out exactly._
_Such orders might point out that each patrol will camp separately from
the others, and that there will be a comparison between the respective
camps as to cleanliness and good order of tents and surrounding
ground._
_Patrol leaders to report on the good or indifferent work of their
Scouts, which will be recorded in the Captain's book of marks._
_Bathing should be under strict supervision to prevent non-swimmers
getting into dangerous water. No girl must bathe when not well._
_Bathing picket of two good swimmers will be on duty while bathing is
going on, and ready to help any girl in distress. This picket will be in
the boat with bathing costume and overcoat on. They may bathe only when
the general bathing is over and the last of the bathers has left the
water. If bathing in the surf, a stake should be driven into the sand on
the beach and a rope securely fastened to the stake so that non-swimmers
can hold on to the rope in the water._
_Orders as to what is to be done in case of fire alarm._
_Orders as to boundaries, grounds to be worked over, damages to fences,
property, good drinking water, etc._
_No Scout allowed out of bounds without leave._
_No lads allowed inside bounds without leave._
