(Tune: "How You Goin' to Keep Them Down on the Farm?")
How're you going to keep us happy at home,
After we've been at Camp?
How're you going to keep us inside the house,
After we've slept in the dew and the damp?
How will we remember, when we eat,
Not to wipe out plates?
Imagine having everything so neat.
Keeping shoes, soap, brush, bags, pins, towels,
Under blanket and sheet.
How're we going to live in a civilized town,
After we've been to Camp?
"Be Prepared." The Signalling Class
5. Achievements
Whether you receive prizes or honors, points or merit badges for the attainment of a definite achievement in your camp work, it is more systematic to keep some sort of record of each individual's progress and accomplishment.
A very simple way is a book record, but a far more interesting and successful method is to make a chart placing it on a conspicuous wall space where all may study it. On the chart will be found the names of all the campers together, with the names of all the activities. In a space under these activity headings and opposite the girl's name, a space will be reserved for recording her points.
Take for example a proposed section of a chart such as the accompanying one.
For every girl who has received a point on such a chart it means that she has satisfactorily complied with the standards imposed. For example, in Nature Study we may say that Scout Jane identified perfectly 20 flowers and 15 birds.
