Before Ten Mile River was established in 1928, NYC Scouts camped at one of the various camps at Kanohwahkee Lakes in what today is part of Bear Mountain State Parks. One of the Queens Camps was Camp Matinecock. An auction recently ended on eBay with two Camp Matinecock patches from circa 1920. What would probably have been the most interesting artifact, a booklet entitled “My Summer at Camp Matinecock” Unfortunately, it went for more than I was able to spend right now.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the eBay auction for the next few months.
