Clicking on the image will bring you to the eBay auction for the next few months.

On the history page, there are links to the history of many of the camps owned by the current council and its predecessors including:

Take a look, some interesting reading there.

Anyone have some other history sites from NYS BSA camps to share?

As their main lodge was located on one of the branches of the Ten Mile River, their proximity to the camp and their Scouting roots, over the years, they have issued a number of patches and neckerchiefs.

Their memorabilia never referred to the Scout Camp or used the Indian cliffs logo, but always contained the words Ten Mile River in the design.

I recently acquired the neckerchief below, which shows their typical design but in a color combination I had not seen before.

Can anyone share the approximate issue date for this neckerchief?
