William Mitchell, of the Monroe council, who was appointed to secure automobiles to take the Scouts to the camp has succeeded in securing 16 cars and they will leave from the city hall on Washington street.
The council will meet Thursday evening for the purpose of making final arrangements for the opening of the camp which is one of the finest of its kind in the state.
The Monroe Boy Scouts will share in the proceeds of "The Littlest Scout" which will be shown at the Family theatre Wednesday. The money derived will be used to pay off a note which was given to one of the local banks in order to buy the eight new army tents.
Camp Lempert which is used by the Toledo Scouts and which is located across the lake from Camp Seandegola was opened Sunday.
