In 1971 our troop project for the Scout-O-Rama in Morton was the making of a totem pole which was later erected at Wilderness Camp. My brother, Alan, took photos in 2000. The #Totem reflected each of the patrols in our troop. This was probably one of the last #Scouting events I participated in before I moved on to an Explorer troop. Click on Image to Enlarge

Here is a picture of Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Wood. They came out in December of 2015 to check out the totem pole that Gloria and I rescued and repainted/repaired. We found it tossed in a wood pile at Ingersoll Boy Scout Camp, formerly named Camp Wilderness, where we set the pole originally. According to camp caretakers, the pole fell over around 2010; we found it in 2013 and brought it home. Considering the pole was a used pole and it stood at camp for 40 years or more, Mr. Wood thought that the pole was close to 100 years old or more. Probably the only totem pole out there with a VW beetle. Ha Ha!
