Maumee Reservation’s First Camporee

Did you know that one of the very first camporees at Maumee Reservation was in September 1971? The event had approximately 950 Scouts and Scouters participate as a part of Project SOAR (Save our American Resources). You can read about it in these newspaper clippings from the Thursday, September 23, 1971 edition of "The Tribune" and the Sunday, September 26, 1971 edition of "The Bedford Daily Times Mail Sun."
