The boys were arranged into four patrols, designated as the Wolves, Ravens, Bulls and Curlews. It is uncertain if 20 or 21 boys attended the camp. At least four authors list attendance at 20 boys, and that they were organized into five patrols with Baden-Powell's nephew Donald as camp orderly. These sources included an article in "The Scout" (1908), Sir Percy Everett in "The First Ten Years" (1948) and "Rover Word" (1936), and E. E. Reynolds in "The Scout Movement" (1950). In 1964, William Hillcourt added the fourth Rodney brother, Simon, in "Two Lives of a Hero", bringing the total to 21. This evidence was supported by the oldest Rodney brother, then the 8th Baron Rodney. The reasons why Simon Rodney was not listed by the other authors is not clear, but evidence that he was present and the 6th member of the Curlews Patrol, was recounted by Scouting historian Colin Walker.
