| Sat Apr 17, 2010 11:17:55 Donald Littlefield Went to camp in the 1970's as | I have been a fan of Camp William Hinds since I was a boy. I still remember doing a late Fall camp out with Troop 4 from Portland at Tenny campsite. We had to bring our own food, build our own fires and cook our own meals. I was a new scout and was very excited the first morning, so I was up and had my fire built using only the two matches we were allowed. As the other older boys awoke, they were impressed with my fire starting ability and allowed me to build their fires. It wasn't till a couple of years later that I realized they just didn't want to have to get out of bed in the cold and start their fire. It's ok, it created a great memory that has kept me going back to Hinds for almost forty years! | ||

My first time to Camp Hinds was in the early 70's, the place has so many memories. I still have some of my scouting stuff from a young cub to boy scout, books, patches, neckerchief slides etc; | ||

It was an important stepping stone in life to get you started in the right direction. I would love to visit some time and ponder over old memories . Thanks for the web site, good job! | ||
| Sat Dec 05, 2009 19:30:20 MICHELLE (BAILEY) HORNE granddaughter of Betty & Charl | I'm excited to have found this website with all of the old photos of my grandparents. I spent a couple weekends at camp hinds in the early 80s and became friends with Erica. My sister was friends with Brenda. There's a plaque in the the Dining Hall with all of our names on it. My favorite place was the tree stump that Chief Kitpoo carved into a chair. Sadly enough, that tree rotted away many years ago, but I have always wanted to see more photos of my favorite indian chief. Do you have any? | ||
| Thu Nov 26, 2009 11:51:00 Stephen Trimble Scouts 70 - 78 | what great memories. Looking forward to a visit sometime in the future. I froze my butt off here every winter. I earned many of my Eagle Scout badges here | ||
| Sun Sep 27, 2009 20:06:11 Dennis J. Bowden Jr. Cub Scout Camper during the ea | Dean, it was an honor to meet you at Wood Badge this past weekend, the songs you sang brought back many fond memories of my time in Scouting and at Camp Hinds. I appreciate what you have done and continue to do. You have made a positive impact on so many people and we appreciate it. "I can Bear no more, So I am going to work my tic-ket if I can." | ||
| Sun Aug 23, 2009 13:09:33 Rick Hayden Staff 1959 & previously a camp | I learned of this
site yesterday at
the Eagle Scout
Gathering. Thanks
to the staff for a
great time. I have
enjoyed the
pictures on this
site of my many
friends, of old, in
Scouting. If you
remember me, I
would love to hear
from you. My email
address is
rhayden61(at)juno.
I can also be
reached on Skype
and Facebook. Yours in Scouting, Rick | ||

| Mon Aug 17, 2009 08:29:18 Scott Dinsmore | Good Morning, My Uncle (Charles Dinsmore, whom was also a staff member in 1962) had been visiting your camp recently and he found an old staff photo on your site. He forwarded to me because there was a picture of my father. In your online photo, 1960, "Friend of Hinds Staff Photo", middle row, 3rd from right, is my Dad, William J. Dinsmore III. Right now you have a "?" for him, so I thought I would fill in the blank. My father, now retired from schoolteaching and the military, went on to become a Lt. Col in the US Army and Vietnam veteran. He flew helicopters. He was not only a military educator (taught flight school), but a scholastic educator for more then 25 years. I thought this information would be good background for your camp and also because I'm proud of my Dad. | ||

Kudos to Dean for
taking on the
leadership of this
effort. My dad,
George, and my
brothers, Dave and
Ken, shared many
wonderful summers
and weekends at
Camp Hinds, working
with good friends,
learning and
teaching ourselves
and many other
young men how to
become good
citizens and
leaders. I am the
proud father of two
Eagle Scouts and
seize on every
opportunity to
relate the old
"stories"
of Camp Hinds life
and experiences to
them and their
children. Looking
forward to visiting
Camp Hinds again
this summer. Again, thanks for the great work, Dean! |
