History
Cedarlands Scout Reservation started out as a Greatcamp in the Adirondacks, owned by the Walker family. It is the largest campgrounds in the adirondacks and boy scout troops from Vermont, Maryland and Pennsylvania make the trip to stay for a week of fun. The campgrounds were privately owned and had two large mansions on the premises. One of the mansions burned down prior to Boy Scout ownership, and the other after. Originally the campsites were situated around the perimeter of Lake McRorie, but over the years they have migrated to one side of the lake and scouts are no longer required to kayak across the lake to get food from the commisary.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
