important lesson from their success: Benson's products combine the three
most important elements in fund-raising success:

tee of consumer satisfaction.
The Right Price. Benson's products give your customer
an excellent value and your group a generous profit.

the case of Old Home Fruit Cake, the sample slices pro-
vide the taste that clinches the sale.

still, declared off limits for camper use.
Equipment can fail, be the wrong kind, or
operate in a manner unknown to any-
one in the group. Companions can be
cranky and unruly. Meals can be awful.
And unplanned occurrences, such as
lightning storms, can be all too real.
Still, anyone contemplating a camping
trip—especially a first overnight visit to
the backcountry—will undoubtedly ex-
pect to find at least some semblance of the
perfection so vividly pictured in outdoor
catalogs, calendars, TV commercials, and
the Scout Handbook. And why not? Except
for the weather, which is beyond our
ability to outguess, much less arrange, all
the essential elements of a good camp-out
are within the powers of human control.
Whether a camping trip succeeds or fails,
rolls merrily along or collapses in a
snarling, red-faced heap, depends to a

ter and troop leaders' council put into
preliminary planning may make the dif-
ference between lifelong enjoyment of the
outdoors and a conviction that camping is
nothing more than a test of endurance
similar to the ordeals forced on adoles-
cents by primitive tribes. For the Scout-
master himself, the effects may be even
more dramatic. Think of the satisfaction of
watching a group of Scouts discover the
joys of outdoor living as a well-planned
adventure moves smoothly from begin-
ning to end. And then think of the dis-
comfort of being deep in the woods with
20 Scouts and food enough for ten.
Although the Scout Handbook and
hundreds of camping how-to guides are
filled with helpful lists and explanations
about everything from how to lay out a
sleeping bag ("make sure your head is not
pointing downhill") to proper behavior in
case of extreme disorientation ("don't
panic; sit still and wait to be found"), a
