[BOY SCOUTS--CAMP BRADY] Part 1
Description
The original catalog description provided by the Ford Motor Company reads as follows: “Troop camping is not a way, but the way of Scout camping. The reservation, nearly 500 acres of rolling, wooded country, 43 miles from downtown Detroit, at Brighton, Michigan, provides year round camping facilities for Detroit area troops.” “Here’s a thrill on a plank.” “A Scout -- and his quarters -- are clean.” “High spirits in the evening.” “Each troop has its own craft shelter.” “Camp life begins at the check-in.” (Above captions related to description below.)
