This week's Sepia Saturday topic is Scouts due to the March 12th 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts and the recent 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts. Go to Sepia Saturday to see more related photos.
On March 12th I posted a photo to celebrate the 100th Birthday of Girl Scouts. Today I dug out these old post cards. In August 1964 I mailed these post cards home from camp. I was away at Camp Little Notch, Fort Ann, NY, sleeping in tents, cooking over campfires, boating, making crafts and hiking. There was a room in a cabin where we could buy postcards, stamps and other trinkets. I bought these cards there and mailed them to my parents and my brothers. They have 4 cent stamps!
Looking at the card on the left, you can see I added dialog for the people & animals. On the back I wrote,
Friday we had a cookout. We had: coco, toss salad, shaggy dogs & spaggetti.
On this postcard, to my brother, I wrote,
I know you don't like Girl Scouts but you would like it here.
It is funny to see what my younger self wrote home.
Let's hope Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts continue to bring new experiences & happy memories for many more years!
