SCOUT MEMORIAL AREA
Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp was founded on the concept of memorializing scouts who have gone before us. In accordance with this tradition, we have established a Scout Memorial Area
The Scout Memorial Area is a "quiet area" on the shore of the pond where people can sit, look at the lake, and turn their thoughts inward. The area features a large plaque with the following inscription, "Lest we forget those scouts who have gone before us and blazed a trail for us to follow," and includes nameplates for deceased scouts and scouters that we have been asked to memorialize.
If you have a scout in your memories that you would like to memorialize at the Memorial Scout Camp at Spectacle Pond, you can request that we do so. We ask that you give us a $20 donation to cover the cost of the nameplate. Use the PayPal button below to make your request.
