aying some of
the time, camp can be closed without much difficulty.

Tents must be taken down, folded and numbered to correspond with tent
pole and ridge pole numbers. No tent should be folded till dry, as it
is sure to mildew if put away damp.

Blankets must be carefully inspected, shaken, brushed and allowed to
hang in the sun all day before folding evenly, counting and packing for
the winter. If there are any signs of soil they should be cleansed
before storing. If boxed or laid on shelves or benches and covered
snugly they can be kept in perfect condition.

Pillows should be treated in the same way as blankets as regards care
and storage.

Lanterns should be emptied and cleaned. All dishes should be washed,
wiped, counted, packed in barrels. All kitchen ware should be treated in
the same way.

Any provisions left--there should be practically none--can be disposed
of by selling or giving away. Amount and kind will determine that
question.

The kitchen stove must be cleaned and if it is to remain in camp should
be covered with grease and boarded up unless it is to be used during the
winter by campers. Store all equipment in a dry, light room and _do not
fail to have it insured_.

The Director should be the last one to leave camp. She should make a
round of inspection and be sure all is well before closing the camp
doors for the long winter months.

CAMP RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS

Not only is the keeping of camp records a necessity, but certain records
are of great value in planning future camps. Also personal records are
of value during the winter to Local Councils and Directors, and in some
cases to the National Headquarters.

Every Scout entering camp should have a record tag similar to the one
shown in Cut B, which when filled out is kept on file during her stay in
camp, and transferred to another file the day she leaves camp. Her
height and weight should be taken in camp the day of or the day after
her arrival, and if possible when she is in her bathing suit. Similar
measurements should be taken the day she leaves camp. A personal record
of all tests passed may be kept on the back of the card. It would be of
interest to parents and of value to the Director when making out a camp
report.

Tent Record

A tent record in convenient form is absolutely necessary. Scouts
entering camp in large groups on a given date must be placed with as
little del
