Spruce Pond Scout Camp is located across the road and up the Goat Trail from the recently closed Red Apple Rest in Tuxedo, NY. This was one of the standard jacket patches used for the Camp in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s.

I may have some photos of this camp and of the lean to at the top of the road. I’ll try to
scan them and post them soon. It appears the camp was decimated by vandals and very little
is left to reflect the fantastic camp that I enjoyed from 1972 to 1978 and holds such fond
memories for me. It was such a devastating blow to see the camp burned down and vadalism
everywhere I looked. A real crying shame. I was able to salvage the base of our old pot
belly stove that kept me warm through so many winter camping trips and served to cook up so
many fantastic meals for us. I was a member of Troop 269 – Bayridge, Brooklyn, NY.
