Region 7 Canoe Base This site covers the history, staff, patches, and memories of this former Boy Scout High Adventure Base located near Boulder Jct., Wisconsin.  

 

Eagle Scout Forestry Camp Eagle Scout Forestry Camp (ESFC) preceeded the Region 7 Canoe Base and existed most of its years one lake over on Lost Canoe Lake. Although this link currently takes you to a page of the R7CB site, it will be developed into its own site in time.

 

Amaquonsippi Trail The Amaquonsippi Trail was founded by Robert Lee and Don Dennison. The trail started and ended near Bradford, Illinois. Many, many people hiked the trail between 1960 and the early 1980s. Scout groups were the principal users of the trail. This website shares all the resources I've been able to gather about the trail.

Blackhawk Area Council Activity Patches This site looks at the history of scouting in northern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin by displaying activity patches from the Blackhawk Area Council. This collection began by collateral accumulation during the quest for specific camp and Order of the Arrow patches displayed on other websites I've created. This site will be updated/redone at some point.

Loaf Shaped Patches I collect "Loaf" shaped patches as a lower cost alternative to many other collecting specialties. My initial website is in the hotlink above. The future loaf website is here. I've fleshed out the structure and now need to work on the database portion of the site.

 

Snowshoe Shaped Patches I collect "Snowshoe" shaped patches as a lower cost alternative to many other collecting specialties.

Camp Mish-i-ke (The Turtle) "A Forestry Camp for Boys" On ebay, I picked up a brochure for this camp that was not a Scout camp. It looks mid-to-late 1930s to my eye. The camp lists itself as Vilas County Wisconsin. It had an office in New York City. It looks to me like it was up near Horsehead Lake and Crab Lake. W.E. Sanderson was the Director and Dr Hugh P. Baker and Major Warren B. Bullock served as Co-Directors. I've placed a 75MB scan of the brochure on the web and it makes for interesting reading. I wish I could attend a camp like this.
