This is an official "S" request!

The Board of Directors patrol is happily preparing to go on a trip and is requesting "S"s! What is this "S"? There is a Little Notch tradition to send treats, poems, quotes, songs, words of inspiration, jokes, and other items to bolster the spirits of a tired trekker out on a long journey out of camp. The board retreat will be 2/24-26 and the S's should be sent/dropped off by Thursday, 2/23. Please remember to seal the contents to maintain the surprise until we get there! :)

Thank you very much!

P.S.... HEY LN historians: what is your definition of "S"? When did they start? Who started them? Leave a comment here!

We had "S's" back when I was a camper in 1972. I understood that "S' stood for "Secret Surprise". It was something that was read to us usually at bedtime but sometimes at an inspirational point on our trip...like at the summit of a challenging peak, especially if the "S" instructed us as to when it should be read. The "S" brought us together as a group and reminded us of our connection with "home" (Camp). As a counselor I had a book of "S's", ones that I had collected and "scrap-booked" or copied down, for sharing when a group was leaving Camp on a trip.
