　　1. The Boy Scouts are pitching a camp by the river.(x)

　　The Boy Scouts are pitching camp by the river.(√)

　　make / pitch/ set up camp 指“扎營(yíng)”。break/strike camp指“撤營(yíng)”，均不需加冠詞。但如果指一個(gè)特殊的營(yíng)區(qū)，則須加冠詞，如:a refugee / concentration camp，即“一個(gè)難民/集中營(yíng)”。

　　3. The meeting will be cancelled until further notice.(x)
