Please see my pictures for the best description.
The grounds of Camp Ken-Etiwa-Pec were purchased by the newly-formed Orange Mountain Council in 1937. A year later, a group of scout leaders and their scouts built the camp's first major building, Todd Cabin. They did such a good job, Todd Cabin was still in use 35 years later when the property was sold. Several other early camp buildings have also survived with relatively little alteration. Camp KEP closed in 1972
Camp Mason (Ken-Etiwa-Pec) had a brief stint as an Urban League facility and also served the Passaic School System. It is currently a YMCA camp, Camp Ralph S. Mason.
The South Mountain District and East Orange Camporee likely took place in South Mountain Reservation. Parts of the Reservation are in East Orange.
The South Mountain Reservation, covering 2,112 acres, is a nature reserve that is part of the Essex County Park System. It is located in central in portions of Maplewood, Millburn and West Orange, and borders South Orange, between the first and second ridges of the Watchung Mountains.
My Troop 21 of Maplewood has a cabin in the West Orange section of the Res, as it was known. Right off of Cherry Lane, behind Turtle Back Zoo. It was still in use in the late 70s
I am committed to a smooth transaction.
