Scouting (01)

Some scouting pics, probably from the 1930's. Good luck on identifying anyone here. The boy standing third from the right looks to me like Dick Laudenslager, who was also a scouting leader in the 1950-60's. But Sheri tells me she doesn't believe Dad knew Dick from these younger days. And I'm lousy on ID'ing people anyways.

Scouting (02)

Breakfast on a camp-out. That's a box of shredded wheat on the table. The only kid "in uniform" is the one on the right. Was the Hamburg troop number really "1"?

Scouting (03)

This looks like the supply tent. Very kewl. A much more elaborate tent that when we had when I was in Boy Scouts. I'm not sure what that structure is on the far right of the pic. A well, maybe?

Scouting (04)

Well, wherever it was that they went camping, it had a pleasant lake (pond?) to go boating on. The car in the background helps to date this photo.

Scouting (05)

Splashing water at the photographer. BTW, I'm getting to the end of the pics that Sheri sent me, so posting is going to become a bit more infrequent. Most of what is left in this album are scouting photos.

Anyone who wants to send me more Ludwig family photos, feel free to do so. I'll scan 'em, and send them back to you asap. There are 500+ photos posted here, so it's been quite the pleasant trip down Memory Lane for me.
