Dear Felllow Scouters, 
I came across in old news papers a reference to a Camp Admas in Falmouth. Not having any luck finding out more about it, I email ed the Falmouth Historical Society. Here is what they came up with! Fantastic!

Town historical societies conduct research to rediscover the lost and forgotten stories of our town. 
You asked about Boy Scout Camp Adams in West Falmouth. We found nothing in our files about Camp Adams. We turned to our history detectives.
Part of the answer to your simple question—where was Camp Adams?— hinged on another story where there were gaps. This left us with two mysteries to solve.
The “TLDR” answer to your question is: Camp Adams was located on land that is now part of Falmouth Land Trust’s Blackstrap Hill Preserve at 369 Blackstrap Road.
What follows is an account of how we geolocated the camp and what we learned along the path of discovery.
Reviewing press accounts, we find the earliest reports of Falmouth’s Camp Adams in autumn 1919 when construction of the camp building is underway. Newspapers were filled with reports of Boy Scout activities at Camp Adams in the 1920s. The opening of Boy Scout Camp Hinds in 1928 caused the smaller Camp Adams to fall into disuse. After the camp building was repaired in the 1930s, reports of activity at Camp Adams resumed but tapered off after May 1948.

Headquarters and Company Street at Camp Adams
Where was Camp Adams? Press reports described it as being in West Falmouth, on Blackstrap Road, and “at Blackstrap” (which refers to the intersection of Blackstrap and Mast Roads. Some accounts described Scouts hiking to the Camp along the railbed of the Portland & Lewiston Interurban line. Some had the Scouts disembarking from the train at the camp and hiking up the “Camp Adams Trail” to the campground.
Here is a high-level view of the line passing through Falmouth taken from the history of the Interurban. 
It appears to follow a path like that taken by the Maine Turnpike. Fortunately, some evidence of the railbed remains.
Several derelict bridges still exist as do remnants of the track carved though the countryside. At left we have plotted the approximate course using these landmarks. We see that the railbed ran alongside Gray Road (Route 100) until it crossed the Piscataqua River where it veered to the northwest. Today the track approaches the Turnpike where that highway veers northwest. 
A reference listing stations and stops for Maine railroads tells us that the station or stop for Camp Adams is approximately 1.9 miles north of the West Falmouth station and about 0.7 miles south of the “Hurricane” station or stop. This suggests that “Camp Adams was located in circled area of the picture at right. The suggests the campground sat west of the Turnpike between “Blackstrap” and present-day Lindsay Way.
A search of the Cumberland County Registry of Deeds for property associated with the Boy Scouts turned up no record of such a property. That means the camp must have been on property leased or loaned to Scouting.
