Description
Nine postcards printed by National Supply Service and copyright 1947, Boy Scouts of America. They depict a variety of camping scenes cartoonishly. Each card has an estimated postage rate of one cent, placing their publication between 1947 and 1952, when the postage rate for postcards was raised to two cents on January 1. The cards are presumed to have been collected at Camp Roosevelt, a Katahdin Area Council Campground, around the time of their manufacture, but their connection to Old Town, Maine, is unclear.
