OUR CHIEF, DAN BEARD

THERE is no man identified with camp­ing, the outdoors, or boys' work who is

more widely known by parents or better loved by boys than our Chief, Dan Beard. He is the greatest of outdoor educators and actively in charge of this camp.

Dan Beard won the Roosevelt Distin­guished Service Medal in 192 6. This award

-has only been earned by such men as I:Ierbcrt Hoover, Charles Lindbergh, Wil­

liam Green, Senator Beveridge, Charles E.

Hughes, and Admiral Richard Byrd-. It

was presented to the Chief as a recog­

nition of his life work for boys and the

tremendous influence he has had on the

future manhood of his country . Mr. Beard

(oUlldcd the Sons of Daniel Boone SocieLY which antedated the English Boy SCOULS; later, under his g uidance, developed into the g reat Boy Scouts of America.

~

T he varied and in teres tin g life of rYan Beard has fitted him well for his position. I Ie has been a su rveyor, art i L, illustrator, editor, naturalist, big game hunter , explorer and ed u cator. Among his frie nds are many of the greatest men in the past h alf century. In this list we find the names of -- Theo­dore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Thomas A. Edison, William Howard Taft, Governor Gifford Pinchot, Governor Trumbull, Governor Flem D. Sampson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Lord Rob­ert Baden-Powell , General U. S. G rant, Charles D ana Gibson, General William T. Sherman, Colonel Bill Cody, Buffalo Jones, Fredrick Remington, Charles E. Hughes, General Custer, the Ind­ia.n Chiefs Geronimo and Rain-in-the-Face, Henry George, T. Buchanan Reed, Yellow­ston e Kelly, Carl Akley, William Jennings Bryan, General Nelson A. Miles, Pawnee Bill, Joe Jefferson and a host of others.

For m an y years Mr. Beard was a member of the Board of Education. He was editor of Recreation magazine, a charter member and past President of the Camp Fire Club of America, Vice President of Art Students League, and author of many books for boys, the most famous of which is the American Boys' Handy book . He is a member of the Society of Illustrators and past President of sam e, Authors Club, Explorers Club, Ends of the Earth Club, Tuna Club of California, Pi Gamma Mu honorary Social Science Fra­ternity, First Honorary member of the

- 5 -

Camp Directors Association, Vice President of the American Forestry Association, Char­Ler mem ber of Lhe Executive Board of the Boy SCOllts of America, NaLional Scout Commissioner, Chairman of the National Co urt of Honor, first honorary Vice Pres­iden t of the Boy Scouts who was not an ex-President of the United States, Vice-Pres­

ident of National Picture League, and Columbia Broadcasting Sys­tem School of the air. Among his honors not alread y mentioned are the Silver Buffalo of the B. S. A., Silver Wolf award from Lord Baden-Powell, only Gold Eagle Scout, Camp Fire Club dis­tinguished Service Medal, Diplo­ma of Honor of the National In­stitute of Italy, Bronze Rooster emblem from France, Internat­ional Swastica award, and prob­ably only American wearing European award for Woodcraft and Camp Directing.

In 1916 Dan Beard and a grou p of his dis­tinguished friends founded the Dan Beard Camp. Since that time it has grown to nat­ional and even international importance. It is the only camp of its kind in the world! The camp attracts the very best type of men to assist Mr. Beard as councillors. Loyal ex­woodcrafters are scattered all over the Uni­ted States. They are all in accord with the one who said, "There are many things time can rob me of, but it can never take away from me the memories of those all-tao-short weeks which I put in with the finest man I have ever known, except my father. There are many things in life that can be repeated, but those days can never come again and be­cause of that their value is enhanced". ':.

AVIATION

T HE course in aviation given at the Dan Beard Carnp does not merely mean the con­

struction of model airplanes, but has all the fea­tures of a "ground school" course. After an ab­sence of one season to officiate at glider contest in Germany, }.ifajor Augustus Post, a world famous flyer and authority, will again conduct the course. Many of the technical aspects of the subject are covered so that they will be under­stOod by the youngest boys.

The following is a brief outline of the course: History of Aeronautics, both bal­loons and airplanes; the Principles of Flight, lighter and heavier than air; Types and Construc­tion of au·crafts and motors; Instruments; oper­ation or "How to Fly"; Navigation or "Aviga­tion"; airports, airways, maps, records, and great flights; gliding and soaring; Astronautics­" Rockets"; and Construction of Models and Gliders.

It is an exceptional opportunity to learn all about this absorbing Inodern subject from a man

- 9 -

who IS a recognized authority; the thir­teenth man in the country to obtain a pilo t 's license, one who himself is a record h older , and an author of aviation books and magazille ar­ticles. Above all he is an outdoor man with many interesting adventures to tell and songs to sing a­round the couIl.cil fire at night.

Aviation classes are at­tended by boys and cou n c illors alike.

NATURE

T H E woods about camp teem with nature in all its multiple forms and the boys have the

opportunity of observing all the keenly interest­ing wild life -- trees, birds, plants, and animals. It is not just the names of the various species that is tau ght, but better let us call it the "won­der of nature".

Deer abound in the camp premises. \'While eating our meals, we watch them lickin g salt dumped from the ice cream freezers. They enter the field in search of apples even while archery and riding are taking place there. From the canoes, the boys may watch the deer feeding on lilypads which border the lake. Birds build their nests between the fly and roof of the tents . These wild creatures are not confined to game sa nctuaries, corrals, or cages! As the Chief says, "It is nature without a shave, haircut, or mani­cure. "

For a place so near the centers of civilization, our camp offers exceptional chances for studying the life in the wilderness. Under these happy conditions nature study is a special privilege. An expert forester who i a g raduate of the N.

STUDY Y. State College of Forestry and a Harvard g raduate stud ent , is in charge. The boys learn nOt by compulsion, but through natural cur­iosity.

Boy Scouts may pass ment badges for Bird Study, Conservation, Forestry, Botany, Insec t Life, and other related tests during the nature lore periods. Non Scouts may pass camp tests for bron ze, silver, and go ld "B" awards along the same general lin es.

ditions' and to

learn that to sit a saddle correctly

and hold the r eins properly in the left hand does not of it elf make a horseman. \ '(Te h ave a host­ler who takes care of the horses, but the boys learn how to sadd le and unsaddle, the care of bridles and equipment, feeding, w hat to do when a h orse becomes lame, groom ing, and all of those other necessary things that must be learned to

become t r uly acquainted with horses. A glance at the above pictu re will show that the horses are of a superior type.

Our horses are accustomed to hav ing boys ride them all year round . The riding periods, excep t for long hikes, are of an hour's duration. Eac h rider who takes h orsemanship has an aver­age of about three hours a week in the sadd le. The boys learn how to ride at various gaits and jumping after they become expert riders. This yea r we expect to teach the elements of polo, so that they will learn the free and easy rhythms of

a real horseman. All of the horsemanship in­struction is conducted by an army officer who has had plenty of expenence in teaching boys.

A horse show is put on the last day for the parent who are there to see the final ceremonies at the closing of camp.

BOXING

Boxing is a sport that every boy enjoys and at which e\'er)' boy shou ld be adept. The boys learn the rudiments of the port under proper coaching from one of the councillors.

BOA TING AND CANOEING

Canoe sailing has been in.troduced and the boys who are qualified all lea rn how to sail.

Canoeing is taught by a graduate of the Red Cross Institute of Boatin g and Canoe-

ing. It is essential for a boy to know how to handle a boat and canoe properly for his own safet y and pleasure, as well as the safety of others.

CANOE TRIPS

Four day canoe trips are t aken around one of the wildest and the largest lakes in the state, located about eight miles from camp. Do not confuse it with the lake on the shores of which camp is located. The boys cook their own meals on the canoe trips and live

like Robinson Crusoe. These excursions m ake a great impression. on the boys. They paddle past lonely islands, make camp at dusk , watch the bald eagles circling over­head , the deer standing at alert attention in the forest, or the fish )umpl11.g .

RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP

IT takes more than a boy, a rifle, and a box o£ ammunition to nuke a marksman. It takes

practice, and by using proper methods develop instinctively a coordination of kee n eyes and steady nerves. \'(fe believe that any boy can be­com e a good shot providing he has the proper sort o£ in ~truction in fundamenta ls.

La t seaso n every boy in camp went home with at least the National Rifle Association medal of Pro Marksman pinned on his chest. Many went higher and into the ranks of Marksmen, Sharp­shooters, etc. The boys learn how to handle a rifle with safety to themselves and to others.

Sin gle sho t .22 calibre rifles with slings are u sed. The camp furnishes the rifles and am­munition without any extra cost. Boys may bring their own rifles to camp if they wish, but they mllst be turned over to the r ifle marksrnan­ship instructor at once and kept by him throu ?h­out the summer. Rifles may be used only during the regular marksmanship periods under super­vision of the range officer. Classes are small to

insure perfect safety and more personal atten­tion in developing the individual boys.

Few sports excel shooting in interest or have a stronger appeal to the boys. Many of the boys become affiliated with N. R. A. clubs at home during the winter so that they may continue the practice started at camp. Rifle marksman­ship is a real sport with appropriate awards for proficiency and achievement.

COUNCIl. f-IRf' DIGNITAHII'S IN FUll. Rl;CALlA

COUNCIL

C OU ' Cll 1 ires offel- an unsurpassed opportun­it)' for pageantry, romantic, and mystical

ceremonies. All of this is original with our camp and the impressive ceremony is never forgotten by those who are fortunate enough to witness it. Even the cos tLImes of brain or smoke cured buckskin are original and from Dan Beard 's own valuable collection.

In the center of the council ring the Buckskin men take their oath with four medicine fires lighting the scene. The candidates taste grizzly bear , mountain sheep , caribou, and antelope meat as part of the ritual. The latter meat was furnished by Col. McNabb who hunted the an­imals with Col. Lindbergh in Mexico.

From the moment of the Indian invocation, through the .fire lighting ceremony, and the pinning of awards on the boys by Dan Beard himself the scene is unusu ally impressive even to the closin g stanzas by medicine man:-

THE BUCKSKINS

The Buckskins form a novel fraternity bound together by a solemn pledge publicly gIven. The object of the society is establishing a code of honor, character building, and the preservation of American traditions. There is nothing in it to conflict with religious beliefs or social du ties.

The boys themselves elect new members from their fellow campers. Lord Baden-Powell, Gov. Theodore Roosevc!t, and General Dawes are hon­orary Buckskins.

H e must r ep ort all irr eg ular ities or cases of im pendin g sickness to the camp doctor at o nce. As an added check, in a camp th is size, the doctor himself is able to watch all t he boys. Instead of just caring for sickness as it occurs or acc idents as they m ay h ap­pen , evc ry effort is m ade to prevent them .

It is t his close attention to every minute detail of health , m ade p ossible by years of experience, tha t counts so much in the welfare of the boys .

T w ice a week all boys write a letter home. A chec kup is made so that it is certain that the p aren ts of every boy will receive a letter. Upon arri val at camp, if the boy is unaccompanied by his parents, a postcard is sent home.

PERSONAL REPORTS

Bi-weekl y informal reports go to the parents. They contain a written paragraph from each councillor who has contacts with the boy and tell wh at improvement he is making. In this w ay, w ith letters from the boys, a note from the co unc illors, and the weekly camp publication put out b y the boys themselves, parents are able to f ollow their sons' activ ities from many ang les.

A C ORNE R IN TH E M ESS H ALL

MESS

VISITORS and boys are lavish in their

praise of the food. Our cook IS a

woman who cooks in a college fraternity

house during the winter months. Most of

the fresh vegetables are obtained from our

own farm.

We want no mollycoddles in our camp,

but good table manners are insisted upon.

There are from six to eight boys and two

councillors to every table. Instead of the

usual oilcloth table coverings and tin dishes,

we use linen table cloths, china, and silver.

White uniformed waiters make a clean and

pleasant appearance.

The boys do not have to do "kitchen po­

lice" work, washing dishes, peeling potatoes,

or anything of that type. We leave that

to employed dishwashers and kitchen help­

ers. Boys are not even allowed in the kit­

chen. All food handlers are examined by a

physician and the reports are sent to the

state board of health for approval. Garbage

is hauled away daily many miles from the

camp premlses. The milk comes from in­

spected and registered cows. Mrs. Beard

herself does the marketing and buys only

the very best food.

Parents are asked not to send either food

or candy to the boys! We feed thenl. Any

candy coming through the mails is sent back

again and all food coming is given to the

cook to distribute as she sees -fit, or also

returned.

CABIN TENTS, THE HEALTHIEST TYPE

ABOVE shows the pictures of the inside and exterior of one of the cabin tents.

It is open on all sides, but boarded up above the beds so that there is a constant flow of air, but no draft on the sleeper. Note that there are but two boys to a tent. Boys are not huddled together in groups of six or eight and sleeping with a councillor. The Councillors occupy quarters at either end of the rows of tents where they can be in touch with the boys. Parents of our boys universally approve of this method.

The cabins are screened and elevated

above the ground. Each one has a screen door on it. The tent has rolled flaps which may be let down to close the whole struc­ture in bad weather. A tent fly extends out eight feet in front to form a porch. At the close of camp the tents are removed leav­

ing the cabins open to the cleansing effects of winter.

The whole camp is very well drained as can be seen by the picture of the outside of the cabin tent. Rain water runs off towards the lake and does not flood the tent area.

TUTORING

Boys may be tutored in any of the ordin­ary academic subjects with little or no in­terference with their camp activities.

Please specify on the application blank the subjects wanted. It will be necessary to bring school books if this is desired and will be helpful to us if the teachers make out an outline of the course to be reviewed.

There will be no extra cost for tutoring.

METHODS AND OBJECTS

W E are all having forced Llpon our attention the great responsibility that we incur in

training the young. We believe that boyhood is roo sacred a thing to be commercialized. It is not the lessons from musty books nor the lec­tures of scholarly professors that make men of oLir boys, but camps lilce ours where useful work mingled with plenty of fun fills in the per'od be­tween school. \'q"e believe that fun is as import­ant to youth as pure food and water, and the boys in the camp enter the various sports and activities with the greatest enthusiasm.

To give the boys a happy and wholesome sum­mer, to build them up in all ways, and on this foundation establish abiding honor, sportsman­ship, truthfulness, America, and the Creator; also to ground the boys in the essentials of right living, and to train them to become leaders are the objects of the Dan Beard Camp.

For fifty-three years our Chief has d evoted his time to the education of boys. His council­lors are all in accord with him in the belief that the greatest life work they can do is to help

create resourceful, better, and cleaner minded Americans for the next generation.

BOY SCOUTING

The camp is 110t cOllfilled to SCO l/ts! How­ever, boys who are Scouts and boys who want to be Scouts have an unexcelled chance to do so in the camp. They do not need a transfer from their local troops to pass merit badges and o ther degrees. Each yea r m any high ranking Scouts are produced. Eagle badges are pinned on by Dan Beard.

CHAPEL SERVICES

The first religious services in America were held in the open. The first religious services held a nywhere were in the open. The most famous of all sermons was preached ou tdoors "on the Mount." Therefore, most appropriately our camp holds chapel service under the blue sky. Only the simple religious principles are taught which are the foundation stones of all churches and cannot possibly conflict with the sectarian beliefs of anyone of them.

WINTER CAMP

ON December 26, 1931 a group of our boys assembled for the first Dan Beard

Winter Camp in the big log cabin built by Maine woodsmen. The camp closed on the second of January in a snowstorm. The boys had all the winter sports; skating, hockey, fishing through the ice, skiing, and ice boating. Every evening they gather about the huge open fireplace to talk over the day's fun. It was a rare experience and took the place of the customary reunion luncheon in the city.

Registration for the second winter camp to be held from Dec. 26, 1932 until Jan. 2, 1933 will be open to all boys between the ages of 11 and 19.

Every winter camper was enthusiastic abollt the idea and intends to return again.
