  • “Where to Go Camping” Guide
    “Where to Go Camping” Guide Produced By: Order of the Arrow Guneukitschik Lodge 317 Mason-Dixon Council Where, but in the great outdoors, can a boy hear the midnight hush of the deep woods...breathe the sweetness of distant wood- smoke...look down in awe at where he’s been, and look up in wonder at where he still must go...glimpse the deer drinking at first light...watch eagles soaring in a cloudless sky...feel the warmth of the campfire as it glows orange against the thickening darkness...and at the end of a long day, hear the hooting owl under a sky flashing with stars? Who can say that in such an atmosphere a boy’s mind is not reached, his faith not freshened, or his heart not stirred? Or that, in ways that are a mystery to us all, he will not grow closer to the man he is becoming? When you witness these experiences that help start a young boy on his journey into manhood, who can say that you his guide and mentor, will not be changed in some small way, as well? To be a part of that experi- ence is one of the greatest rewards that adults can reap from their leadership roles in the Boy Scouts of America. Don’t miss out– share the adventures of Scout camping with your unit! 2nd Edition Updated and Published August 2011 by Guneukitschik Lodge, Mason-Dixon Council #221, BSA 2 Dear Scout Leaders, The Guneukitschik Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America, Mason-Dixon Council #221 has prepared this ―Where to Go Camping Guide‖ as a service to units in our council.

I recently had a great con- versation with Chris Marshall, our new associate vice president for alumni affairs. Here’s an excerpt: David Skorton: How do Cornell alumni compare with those of other schools in terms of alumni activity? Chris Marshall: There are few—if any—other uni- versities that can claim alumni as loyal as Cornell’s. That loyalty translates into involvement on many levels, from simply reading the alumni magazine or the e-news, to attending events, to volunteering for JASON KOSKI / UP the admissions network, class councils, and regional Meeting of the minds: Cornell’s new associate VP for alumni club boards, or to contributing their financial affairs enjoys “casual Friday” in President Skorton’s office. resources.
