Every Boy Scout camp has its unique history. This is the story of one of them: the Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation, located since 1948 in upstate New Yorks beautiful and historic Adirondack Mountains. The story is a mixture of fact, nostalgia, and youthful dreams. It is intended to provide a lasting record of what went on in this extraordinary camp from the 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 evokes experiences that often affect entire lifetimes of those who lived them. It also offers something of value to those of you who perhaps never went to camp.
