    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of memories by a group of old Scout friends.

    In the centennial year (2017) of celebration of the founding of Camp Glen Gray, we cant recount periods other than when we were Scouts at Glen Gray, but our story might be considered fun reading by other generations.

    All of those involved in this writing project left the camp by the mid-1960s and have only returned for anniversariesor never.

    Regardless, the creation of our story brought old friends back together as though no time had passed. The sharing of events and anecdotes by email and critique of stories, as they unfolded, helped sharpen our memories. More often, we were surprised, as we found out about things we didnt know in the first place.

    While it might go without saying, it ought to be said, we, as Scouts, boys-to-teenagers-to-adults, experienced something unique that was the Scouting experience associated with Camp Glen Gray.

    To us, Camp Glen Gray is a special place in all the world. While its memories can be preserved in writing, pictures, and our own memories, it is a place that ought to be preserved so that others can look at Lake Vreeland from the bridge and have dreamsforever.

    In 2017, the bridge over the dam spillway was been removed. It is hoped that any proceeds from the sale of this book would go to restoring the 1950s cover picture view in our memories and in reality
