Up first is an interesting piece of ephemera from Camp Naish: official stationery. As shown below, there is a piece of paper with Camp Naish letterhead and coordinating envelope. The letterhead notes B.B. Dawson (Kaw Council executive from January 1923-March 1933) as the Chief Camp Director, Leon Zimmerman as Assistant Camp Director, C.A. Tozier as Camp Director, and Donald Powell as Bugler. It probably dates from between 1928 (first camping session at Naish) and 1932 (Dawson left the council in March 1933).

A few thoughts:
The envelope lists the location of the camp as Edwardsville, Kansas. I generally think of Bonner Springs when I consider the location of the camp.
The camping scene at the bottom of the page made me realize that scouts have been using clip art for a very long time.
I wonder how long the slogan, “The Camp That’s Different,” was in use?
Finally, I wonder if this stationery was available to scouts at the trading post or was it for official use only?
