Camp Read

[Fuzzy Bear 12]

I collect Scout fiction, so one day I ran across some Scout collectibles from a Camp Read. I thought that was an appropriate name for my collection and that maybe I should find some other items from Camp Read to display. I found patches, a song booklet, and a neckerchief. Naming my collection Camp Read still is kind of funny to me but then that is my idea of humor.

 

What now interests me is the actual Camp Read. I must believe that it was named for somebody with the last name of Read or something like that but, moreover, I want to know about the camp, special places, views or traditions. I am sure somebody out there has spent a week or a night there and has something to share. So, if you have one or more Camp Read experiences, pull up a camp stool and spend some time around the campfire with me and a few others telling us about a camp with a special story. Thanks, Fuzzy

Great camp.

I want to thank both individuals for their time in responding to my request about Camp Read. I tapped in the websites and looked at the pictures and read about the search for historical items about Camp Curtis M. Read. They too are searching for their roots. I have requested a Memorial Book when it is completed to read for myself about Camp Curtis M. Read. It soounds like a great camp with rock climbing walls, pie eating contests, COPE courses, and white water rafting. Adventure and fun. Thanks, Fuzzy
