A follow up to my earlier post on the 80th Anniversary Civilian Conservation Corps event held last weekend in the Headquarters Area of the Ten Mile river Scout Camps. The Headquarters Area was also the site of the of the CCC Camp Ten Mile river in 1933. An article appeared in the Times Herald Record<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

In the midst of the Great Depression, a group of 200 young men from as far away as Oregon were trucked to Camp Ten Mile River in southwestern Sullivan County under a new federal program called the Civilian Conservation Corps.<\/p>\n

Those men, once unemployed, would wake at 6 a.m. and get a hearty meal of French toast, oatmeal or scrambled eggs. By 8 a.m., local woodsmen were teaching them about fire suppression and forest clean-up work.<\/p>\n

For pay, $25 would go back to the men’s families and $5 would stay in their pockets.<\/p>\n

That piece of history was remembered Sunday at the Ten Mile River Scout Museum<\/a>, 80 years after the New Deal program was created by President Franklin Roosevelt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
