ROY SCOUTS.

(Contributed.) The Cubs who camped out last week made the very best of the excellent weather and are hoping to be able to show the results of their hard work when, in the near future, tlicv come ■up into the scout troop. One of the most interesting experiences was an evening hike along the beach for some miles to the south, loaded with tents, bedding and rations far supper and breakfast. Even the supply of drinking water was carried by the boys, and since- the season required a. heavy load of blankets per hoy the experience should encourage the elder lads to take up this most interesting form of camping which should be comfortable and easy with stronger shoulders and warmer nights.
