Camp Pequea - 1910 (Lancaster County, PA)


Recommended Posts

A troop scout run, their camp scout built.

This rustic bridge, built in 1912 by the Columbia Scouts, made it possible to walk from their camp to the Pequea trolley line instead of trudging a quarter-mile downriver to the Pequea railroad station.

Some interesting photos, including one where it appears a SM was fireman carried across creek during a hike. :)

Also there is a photo of a Scout Leader Warrant which appears signed by Dan Beard. This was the official BSA permission for that person to be a Scoutmaster and start a troop.
