That sign stood until about 1965 when the road was widened and the wooden sign retired to the rail of the craft shop.

In 1967 Frank Maguire, assisted by Frank Bailey, Steve and Dave Curry, and others set out to design and erect the current sign.  We placed it at the tree line instead of the head of the road so that it could be seen by people coming and going along the road; therefore the letters were made big enough so they couldn’t be missed!

Under the "CAMP" were smaller letters spelling out "Pine Tree Council" and under "HINDS" was "Boy Scouts of America".  Most recently, the lower lettering was removed and relaced with the plaque from the Niss Scout Sevice Center.  Although the plaques should be preserved, it ruins the symmetry of the original gateway design.

As for the stone walls, we know that a volunteer group erected it but we are not sure who or when.  At one time there was a drawing of the stone pillar project - it was supposed to have a metal pole in each pillar and a metal sign going across the road.  Don't know where the drawing went or why it wan't finished - perhaps the funding source dried up.
