There was a gateway competition at camp this past weekend, and the boys wanted to do “The Raven.” The rules stipulated that the gateway was to be made at camp, out of “natural materials”, by hand. No bust of Pallas, then. But the boys found this bust in a closet and thought it would work well with the bamboo they lashed together. We found a robin in a store’s garden section and painted it black for the raven itself. Hunting decoys were too expensive. The “raven” was fixed by lashing a pole behind The Chief and then around the bird.
