When we were removing an old pine tree next to the Rec Hall, sometime in the late fifties, Frank Bailey told the crew digging out the large, many-rooted stump how it was done years before.

"In the first few seasons at Camp Hinds, Scouts spent many hours in clearing their campsites and removing stumps.  Skipper Patrick was faced with the need of having all stumps dug out, a job that most boys found tedious and distasteful. When the first stump was ready to be pulled out, Skipper bent over, reached into the sand, and came up with an Indian arrowhead in this hand.

Showing it to the Scouts, he remarked that the Indians often placed such items in the ground when planting trees in areas like this.  Thereafter, the boys attacked many tree stumps very willingly hoping to find more arrowheads."
