The Camp Budget

Every camp should be run on a budget; that is, according to a plan of
expenditure made on the best information available. Even if
circumstances alter the original plan, as they are apt to do, each
dollar whose expenditure is planned for will be found to bring in
considerably more return than the casually disbursed one.

The following items to be considered in any camp budget are given in
order of their numerical importance:

1. Food. Includes carriage cost.

2. Equipment. General and Special. The General and
Special Equipment will be considered permanent
camp property requiring renewal and replacement at
various annual rates.

3. Transportation. This will cover all railway
charges and boat fares for Scouts and counsellors,
and shipping charges on general merchandise other
than food.

4. Rental or Purchase Price of Land. This may or
may not include rent on the houses, and will vary
accordingly.
