Nevertheless, the Baltimore region was not organized until 1913, when the Baltimore Area Council was formed. There were no guidelines for setting up a camp, so The office was located on South and Baltimore Streets near Linstead borrowed liberally.

Washington had founded Camp Roosevelt and Philadelphia had Camp Biddle and Treasure Island. Somewhere around 1917, the coun- cil made an arrangement with the Henry and Francis Riggs to occupy the far end of their summer estate. The estate was historic. Originally the ancestral home of the Linstead Family , the property was bought by the Riggs Brothers in 1906 for $4900. Troops probably camped at Linstead prior to the of- ficial opening in 1918, however, 1918 is looked upon as the first summer season. Tom Marshall, an assistant from the council office, served as the first camp director. He continued in that position for the next 10 seasons. Nentico Lodge 12 4 As part of the continuing relationship between Linstead and Treasure Island, T.I.’s camp director, E. Urner Goodman, had been promoting his new organization, the Wimachtendienk (later the Order of the Arrow) to Balti- more Scout Executive, W. Perry Bradley. Even though Bra- dley was interested, he was too busy just getting summer camp organized, so the idea was put off in 1921. This gave the campers at Linstead a chance to mull over the pro- posal. The opinion of Linstead campers was very positive toward starting a lodge of the Wimachtendienk. In 1922, it became a reality. The first Communication of Nentico Lodge was convened on June 30, 1922 at Camp Linstead.

Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.

    Following the Evening Star 60 years of the Loquanne Allangwh Lodge #428. Celebrating 100 years of the Order of the Arrow Founding of Boy Scouts and the Order of the Arrow W.D. Boyce, a newspaper magnate who was saved in the London fog by a British Boy Scout and taken to Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, founded the Boy Scouts of America during the Progressive Era. In the United States, Boyce combined Baden-Powell’s military and chivalric Scouting for Boys with Ernest Thompson Seton’s Woodcraft Indians and Daniel Carter Beard’s Sons of Daniel Boone including American Indian crafts and pioneer skills into the Boy Scouts of America. The American Scouting movement officially began in 1910 and received a Congressional Charter in 1916. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow at the Treasurer Island Scout Reservation near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1915. Goodman and Edson agreed that the Scouting program should exemplify the Scout Oath and Law not only Scoutcraft skills. The Order of the Arrow would use the crafts and dress of the American Indian to reach this goal. Nearly one hundred years later, the Order of the Arrow continues to serve local councils and camps acMorriss the United States. Boy Scouting in Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma The Boy Scouts of America reached the four states region of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana almost as soon as it was founded. Various churches and civic organizations chartered the earliest Boy Scout troops and the Scoutmasters dealt directly with the National Office in New York City for charters, uniforms and advancement materials.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
