Every Boy Scout camp has its unique history. This is the story ofone of them: the Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation, located since 1948in upstate New Yorks beautiful and historic Adirondack Mountains.The story is a mixture of fact, nostalgia, and youthful dreams. It is intendedto provide a lasting record of what went on in this extraordinary camp fromthe day it opened in 1920 on Long Pond near Mahopac, NY to the present.Written by scouters who, as staff members, lived parts of that history, it evokesexperiences that often affect entire lifetimes of those who lived them. It alsooffers something of value to those of you who perhaps never went to camp.
