The Clean-Up
Categories:
Iii Camping
While resting after dinner is the time for story-telling; then, before
taking part in sports of any kind, every particle of debris, even small
bits of egg-shell and paper, should be gathered up and burned until not
a vestige remains. To be "good sports," thought must be taken for the
next comers and the camping-ground left in perfect order, absolutely
free from litter or debris of any kind.
When breaking camp be _sure_ to soak the fire with water again and
again. It is criminal to leave any coals or even a spark of the fire
smouldering.
Be _positive_ that the _fire is out_.
