Campers and counselors alike are shown here in uniform, in costume, and dressed for sport. The careful captions identify each person by name or nickname ("Captain Betty") and include dates and often places. Among the photos are a snapshot of two Scouts posing in a romantic embrace for "Stunt Nite," a precarious gymnastics pyramid, archery practice, and a joint GSA/BSA march for Armistice Day. A warm and intimate record of youthful recreation immediately preceding the Great Depression.
