Rock Island Road
It’s a simple photo, but one that depicts a common sight at the time. This is the road at Rock Island Boxwell sometime in the 1950s. Scouts are travelling the dirt road on their way to sessions or perhaps to the Commissary. So common a sight was this that this very photo was included in the 1959 Capital Campaign literature to promote the new Boxwell at Old Hickory Lake.
In contrast to most of our other photos of Rock Island Boxwell, the Scouts here are full uniform. Thus, the photo was either of boys on the way to an assembly or the photo was staged for promotional purposes. As the photo has some writing in the bottom right corner (it appears to be 2 3/4″ #6), our money is on promotional photo.
