The General Greene Scout Reservation was chartered in Brown Summit in 1953 and, as best we can tell, continued through 1994. For those who are interested, the General Greene Council and Camps Weans and Nikwasi has a Facebook group, open to the public. According to Wikipedia, in 1992, the General Greene Council merged with the Uwharrie Council from the North State Council. The above mug was given to a unit leader in 1969. Land in Browns Summit is being developed for housing and does not have the rural feel that it did back when the scout reservation was located in the ares.
Coming home and researching the history, we wish we'd purchased this mug; however, one can't own everything. At any rate, we captured the photo and have the memory. Now, we're sharing the memory with you. What memorabilia do you have to represent the region's past? Do you have a memory to share with us?
Happy Tuesday!
Many great memories there.
