Totem Poles

My buddy Tom Hill alerted me to a story yesterday over in PA. It seems that a totem pole fell on a kid and killed him at the Keystone Area Council's Camp Hidden Valley.

It got me thinking about McKee. We have 2 totem poles. 1 buy the Admin. Building and another up at the OA Slab. They are both stable and secure and I hope that this accident won't cause a national removal of all totem poles on BSA properties.

I had never really thought about it before, but a totem pole is a Native American link that says "CAMP". It is part of our identity and I hope it always will be.
