TMR Lookalike – Camp Barstow

billmul — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:25:52 +0000

They same imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; here is a camp from South Carolina using the TMR Indian Cliffs logo on their pocket patch.

Camp Barstow Pocket Patch

Anyone have other examples of other camps/councils using the Indian Cliffs scene?

Camp Matinecock – Kanohwahkee Lakes

billmul — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:11:27 +0000

Before Ten Mile River was established in 1928, NYC Scouts camped at one of the various camps at Kanohwahkee Lakes in what today is part of Bear Mountain State Parks. One of the Queens Camps was Camp Matinecock. An auction recently ended on eBay with two Camp Matinecock patches from circa 1920. What would probably have been the most interesting artifact, a booklet entitled “My Summer at Camp Matinecock” Unfortunately, it went for more than I was able to spend right now.

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

Hiawatha Seaway Council Camps

billmul — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:57:58 +0000

for those of you whose interest in NYS Boy Scout Camps extends beyond Ten Mile River, I recently came across a new resource on the Hiawatha Seaway Council Website.

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

Camp Loyalty
Camp 12 Pines
Camp Askenonta (History in progress)
Ram’s Gulch Camp
Sabattis Scout Reservation (Still in use)
Camp Portaferry
Camp Woodland (Still in use)
Camp Onondaga
Camp Lee
Indian Village Camp
Camp Syracuse
Camp Vigor of the Lake (History in progress)
Camp Vigor of the Woods (History in progress)
Kamp Kamargo

Take a look, some interesting reading there.

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

Ten Mile River Neckerchief

billmul — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:58:08 +0000

Bob Landers, and prior to that Nick Dales is a canoe livery on the Delaware River near Ten Mile River Scout Camps. This is a private company providing canoe rentals to groups and individuals in addition to many Scout groups. Nick Dale as some of you may know was active in GNYC and Brooklyn council and worked at the Brooklyn Camps on Rock Lake prior to starting what is now Landers.

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.

Ten Mile River Landers Neckerchief

Can anyone share the approximate issue date for this neckerchief?
