Upwards of two thousand boy scouts, from homes where the Jewish dietary laws are observed, were enabled to enjoy the benefits of camp life under the supervision of the Boy Scouts of America during the season which has just closed, according to a statement given out by Albert Rosenblatt, president of the New York Branch of the United Synagogue of America. These camps, established by the United Synagogue of America, were maintained at Narrowsburg, and Kanawahke Lakes, New York, and Owassipi, Michigan.
Dr. Cyrus Adler is national chairman of the Jewish Committee on Scouting.
