Camp Hinds



Eric and Annie lived at Camp Hinds while waiting for their house to be ready.  Camp Hinds is outside of Portland where the BSA Pine Tree Council headquarters is located.  When I brought Hannah and Luke home to them last weekend Eric drove us out to the camp.  Vans of Boy Scouts were arriving for their stay at the camp.  We walked the grounds and met some counselors, the cooking staff and the waterfront staff.  Everyone was very friendly and happy to meet the mother of the new Scout Executive.  I was very impressed with the wild natural beauty of the location.  The dining hall is covered with creative and artsy signs made by previous Scout troops staying at the camp.  I love signs anyway and had a lot of fun seeing what the various patrols came up with.  Annie showed me where to pick wild huckleberries.  Luke will be attending Cub Scout camp there next week.  Lucky boy.
