Boy Scout tent camp

Title

Boy Scout tent camp

Description

Black and white image of a group of boys gathered around a small grill set up on three legs. Two of the boys appear to be cooking while the others observe. Six small tents and one larger one are pitched in rows around the area where the boys stand, and other men and boys can be seen in the background. Houses and buildings are visible just beyond the tents, and a row of severely pruned trees dominates the skyline above them. Museum records suggest this could be Hillsboro Boy Scout Troop 216, camping out at the Washington County Courthouse shortly after the Columbus Day Storm.
