and dairy princesses aren’t the
only ones promoting milk this
summer. Counselors at the J.
Edward Mack Scout Reservation
near Newmanstown are also
furthering the dairymen’s cause
by encouraging their campers to
drink lots of milk and eat plenty of
cheese and ice cream.
The Lancaster-Lebanon Council
Boy Scouts are participating in the
1984 special milk program con
ducted by the state. Under the
John Leaman pours himself a cup of cold milk during lunch
at J. Edward Mack Boy Scout Camp, while fellow scouts
Charley Braught and Frank Waltz dig into their egg salad
sandwiches.

cheaper for us so we can put more
out,” said George L. Anderson,
director of development for the
local council.
At home, Anderson said, the
amount of milk a kid is allowed
may be regulated, “but at camp
we don’t care.” And it is the state’s
milk program that allows them to
take that attitude, he continued.
Morns Lapi, camp director at J.
Edward Mack, said participation
in the program helps them keep
their camper fees down to $65 a

week, giving more boys the op
portunity to experience a week at
camp. The Boy Scouts, he said,
also participate in the government
food surplus program, under which
they, receive free butter and
cheese.
Anderson says camp leaders talk
about milk’s benefits with the
campers and encourage them to
drink at least five glasses a day.
“We push the word milk and how
good it is for you,” he says.
The camp has taken a number of
steps to make milk an attractive
food, Lapi said. Campers are
served cereal and milk for
breakfast, are provided with
plenty of Hershey’s chocolate
syrup for chocolate milk, and are
encouraged to make and eat lots of
ice cream.
Each campsite is provided with
a ice chest to store the milk,
assuring a frosty glass every time.
And the campers have unlimited
access to milk at all times.
If a boy requests milk, “There
are no questions asked,” Lapi said.
“They may ask for four more
hamburgers and not get them, but
if they ask for four more quarts of
milk, we’ll give it to him.”
The camp encourages the boys to
eat other dairy products as well

and offers an unlimited supply of
cheese, which the campers con
sume at meals and snacks. If a
particular camp has invited
another group to a campfire, they
can order a block of cheese to
serve as a snack, Lapi said.
Each group is responsible for
planning its own evening meal.
While the campers can choose
from a number of meats,
vegetables and desserts, milk is
the only beverage offered. Each
camper is alloted l, z a quart unless
otherwise requested.
