TROOP 17, ELMHURST CAMP MAN AND THE TOWER OF FRIENDSHIP Ten Mile River Scout Camps Revised 10.17.20
When Queens Council moved their summer camp from Camp Matinecock, of Lake Kanohwahke Camps in the Palisades of Tuxedo, NY to the newly established camps of Ten Mile River Scout Camps, Troop 17 was there!
Lake Kanohwahke Camps
Prior to 1930 Troop 17 Scouts camped at Camp Matinecock where Dan Beard was on the Camp Committee, dined in a two-story dining hall, rowed in a cutter and swam in a lake.
When Ten Mile River opened, camps were Borough Council organized as they were at the Lake Kanohwahke Camps. When it came time for Queens Council to move their operations from Camp Matinecock to TMR they renamed it Camp Man in honor of Alrick H. Man, a wealthy developer of Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens, Honorary President of Queens Council and a major supporter of the Scouting movement. The new camp was located on Crystal Lake along with Camp Manhattan (present day Keowa). The Crystal Lake tract was the last major parcel of land to be purchased by the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York. So while most of the tracts were purchased in 1927 and the first camp opened in 1928, it wasn’t till 1930 that Camp Man opened for the Scouts of Queens Council. James E. West who as National Chief Scout Executive stewarded the many Scout camps operated by various Councils within the region, from the state-owned Lake Kanowake to newly purchased Council-owned properties. In preparation for this new venture at Camp Man two young Scout Executives with already established reputations had been brought in, most likely by personal invitation of Dr. West who was familiar with their work. Both Charles M. Heistand and Joseph H. Brinton came from Chester County Council, PA where they had just created a new camp for that
council, Camp Horseshoe, thanks to the major funding Heistand secured from DuPont and other corporations. Heistand was named Borough Executive of Queens Council and Brinton Camp Director and Assistant Borough Council Executive.
Until Greater New York Councils took over operations of all TMR camps in 1953, Troop 17 Scouts attended Camp Man on Crystal Lake
Scouts arrived to camp by a Council charted bus with the DeLuxe Buses of the North Shore Bus Company and they would have checked in individually. These photos are from a 1936 and 1937 trip to Camp Man. Top row L to R: Leaving Queens from the Council Office on Hillside Avenue; and a stop at the Red Apple Rest, Second row L to R: On the road; and check-in at Camp Man These photos are from the A. G. Jeffery Papers with the TMR Museum archives, considering Mr. Jefferies was a member of T17 there are most likely Scouts from T17 in these images.

At that time New York City Scouts attended TMR not as home unit Troops, but were instead organized into summer camp units, each with its own 32boy campsite (three 8-boy patrols). Today we would refer to such troops as “provisional” troops. The camp provided leadership in the form of a Scoutmaster, Senior Patrol Leader experienced in handicrafts and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster experienced in nature activities. Back then a Scout never went to camp for less than one 2-week period, several went for the entire 8 weeks and when averaged out a Scout attended Camp Man for 24 days in the 1930s.
Having reached capacity in the mid 1930s they had to turn away applications. And in 1937 the season was extended to 9 weeks. It cost $15 for the first period (2-weeks) and $20 for each additional period and it was only $3 round trip to travel there by bus. Camp Man summer troops or camp units were each given a Lenni Lenape name rather than a unit number. In 1934 the Camp Scoutmaster of "Pachsegink," 1 of the 14 camp units, was A. G. Jeffery a member of Troop 17. As a Neighborhood Commissioner for Queens Council he attended Camp Man from 1931 to 1938. Scouts from the same home Troop were assigned to the same Camp Unit. Assuming they stayed with A. G. Jeffery, Troop 17 Scouts would have camped at Pachsegink in the Lakeside Division, a site just east of the Parade Grounds and located opposite the amphitheater just south of the existing road. It wasn’t till 1938 that home Troops were permitted to attend Camp Man as a unit.

Jeffery Mr. Jeffery had been an Engineer with the General Electric Company, Western Electric Company, AT&T and then Bell Laboratories developing new technologies in electricity and communications. He was a member of Troop 17 and served as Neighborhood Commissioner for District 2, essentially the previous Elmhurst-Corona District. A. G. Jeffery also served on the Council’s Activity Committee in the 1930s. Though he never served as Scoutmaster of Troop 17, we know he did serve at Camp Man from 1931 to 1938, and for at least one summer served as Camp Scoutmaster of Pachsegink in 1934. He may have been Scoutmaster of Pachsegink for more than one summer, where Troop 17 Scouts most likely stayed. Queens Council honored him with the Silver Beaver in 1936. He was active as Neighborhood Commissioner till at least 1944, perhaps longer. He may have stayed active till his move to move to Florida, which would have been after his retirement from Bell Laboratories in 1946 with 30 years of service with Bell. Jeffery moved south to Fort Meyers and stayed connected to Scouting as a Member at Large with the Sunny Land Council in Southwest Florida. He passed on December 5, 1965 at age 75, survived by his son, James, and his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Hensz. His son James who had been a member of Troop 17 was connected with Troop 52 of Naples, Florida and served as a Committee Advisor in Osceola Lodge 564. H. P. Palmer H. P. Palmer was initially the Scoutmaster of Troop 3, Elmhurst at the time Troop 17 was known as Troop 1, Elmhurst. Mr. Palmer had been an insurance executive prior to joining Troop 3 where he served as Scoutmaster till he was appointed Deputy Commissioner of the Elmhurst-Corona District in 1920. The Elmhurst-Corona District was comprised of Elmhurst, Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Maspeth, Winfield and Woodside. Prior to Ten Mile River, along with others he helped led the Queens Council summer camp at Camp Mantinecock, at the Lake Kanohwahke camps. In 1929 (perhaps a little earlier) he rose to be Council Commissioner and made a member of the Queens Council Executive Board. He also served on the Council’s Camping and Advancement Committees. He served on Staff at Camp Man as Commissioner and was inducted as a Charter Member of Suanhacky Lodge in 1930. H. P. Palmer was inducted in the second period, the very first formal induction conducted by Suanhacky. Queens Council honored him with the Silver Beaver in 1931. In 1944 he stepped down from Council Commissioner to become Dean of Merit Badges for Queens, while staying on the Council Executive Board till his death in 1946. He appears in many of Mr. Jeffery’s photos including a group photo titled “Troop 17.” He was clearly a good friend of the Jeffery family and knew Troop 17 well having been in the same district and in his role as Queens Council Commissioner.

affiliation, a tradition that lingered into the 1970s. It may also be because as a commissioner he served his district and not just his unit.

Brinton had been elected National Lodge Chief of the Order of the Arrow in 1937 from Suanhacky Lodge, he then chaired the committee that created the OA’s Distinguished Service Award, and was later an early recipient of the DSA. He had a long and successful career in professional Scouting who in his retirement joined Suanhacky to celebrate its 50th anniversary by attending its banquet with Charles M. Heistand in 1979.

Scouts from Troop 17 were most likely present, more or less, the entire 8weeks each season during the 1930s. With that in mind, Troop 17 would have witnessed some of the most thrilling events in the history of Ten Mile River while staying at Camp Man. Events that even figure into some of the most interesting episodes in the history of the Boy Scouts of America.
Troop 17 would have been at Camp Man for the visit of Governor Roosevelt in August 23, 1930. It was on this occasion FDR was honored with BSA’s Silver Buffalo in recognition of his many contributions to the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York and for his passionate efforts in leading the creation of the largest Boy Scout camp in the world… Ten Miler River Scout Camps. Chief Justice of the Special Courts of New York, Frederic Kernochan who worked closely with him on this, made the presentation. Judge Frederic Kernochan Kernochan was quite a character himself, like Roosevelt he was a prominent New Yorker and social reformist. At the age of 8 he saved a woman from drowning and was later awarded a silver medal by Congress and a gold medal by Society of the American Cross in recognition of his heroism. Kernocahan and his wife (a Howland of direct Mayflower heritage) had been listed in the Social Register of New York and first lived in a Gilded Age mansion on Madison Square and then moved to a new family mansion on Park Avenue at 77th Street. After attending Yale University, where he ultimately earned his Law Degree in 1898, Kernochan then enlisted in the military the following year. He saw field service during the Croton Dam Strike and was discharged after 5 years only to return 3 months later as a commissioned First Lieutenant with the 12th NY Infantry Regiment for another 4 years till 1908. He was made a City Magistrate in 1907 and later Chief Justice of the New York County Supreme Court. In addition to all this he co-founded the New York City Bar Association. He was particularly interested in the “less-chance” boys of the city and made their needs his passionate aim. In terms of Scouting he was a charter member of the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York and served on BSA’s National Council’s Executive Board. As Chairman of the National Committee on Scouting Activities he played a large role in planning the first National Jamboree in America. Through his many interests and wide social contacts he won for Greater New York many generous and influential supporters. We have Kernochan to thank for raising much of the funds needed to purchase the properties that were to become Ten Mile River Scout Camps. The bonds between FDR and Kernocahan extended beyond Scouting to a secret society called The ROOM, which met monthly in a nondescript apartment at 34 East 62nd Street in New York City, complete with an unlisted telephone and mail drop. The ROOM resembled that of an intelligence office, albeit in an informal and somewhat romanticized manner. Though never attached formally to The ROOM, FDR knew every member well through Groton, Harvard and New York society, business and political connections. During his campaign and first years of his presidency, Roosevelt became an intimate comrade of four of The ROOM's most influential members… Vincent Astor, Kermit Roosevelt, Will Stewart and Judge Kernochan. The bond was forged amongst these four adventurers on cruises aboard Astor's legendary yacht the Nourmahal. Scouts at Camp Man would have been very familiar with Judge Kernochan who frequented the camp often.

On August 11th, 1931 Troop 17 would have been there for the visit of Paul A. Siple. Siple became an Eagle Scout in 1923 with 59 merit badges. After an extensive nationwide search in 1928, he became the first Eagle Scout to be selected for an Antarctic expedition and sailed with Richard E. Byrd on his ship the City of New York. Paul had been the youngest member of the expedition and was awarded a Gold Medal for his service by the Secretary of the Navy. Siple appeared in the documentary film With Admiral Byrd at the South Pole (1930, the first documentary to win an Academy Award). The Scouts at Camp Man would have witnessed the induction of Paul into the Suanhacky Lodge of the W.W.W., the same lodge that many Troop 17 Scouts played significant roles in over the course of its long history.

In 1934 Governor Herbert H. Lehman paid an invited visit to Camp Man and a water pageant was staged in his honor on Crystal Lake.

But the grandest of all events would have been on August 26, 1936, when Scouts heard President Roosevelt delivering his introduction of the NRA (National Relief Act) in the Camp Man Amphitheater (just opposite the
Pachsegink camp site where Troop 17 Scouts would have camped!). The President asserted that the NRA was based on the same ideals of Scouting. With the eventual success of the NRA, Roosevelt created the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), which was likewise based on Scouting’s ideals. Because of his personal interest in the success of TMR, the President saw to it that a CCC camp was established here at TMR. Their camp was located on the site of the present-day TMR Headquarters. These CCC men built saw mills, dams, buildings and roads including the Schiff Trail. It was on this same occasion in 1936 that Troop 17 Scouts would have witnessed the induction of FDR into Suanhacky Lodge of the W.W.W.

To view a short movie on FDR’s visit: https://youtu.be/ch2PHJhvtKc Back in Queens at a Suanhacky Lodge meeting on April 15th 1936 it was decided that the Lodge would build an Everlasting Light at Camp Man to symbolize the true camp spirit. This was possibly inspired by Brooklyn’s Everlasting Fire, which had been initiated at the Lake Kanohwahke camps and then transferred to the Brooklyn camps at TMR as the Fire of Cheer, which was housed in an open pavilion made of wood. It was written in The Bugle, Camp Man’s newsletter, that on July 1, 1936 the Pyre of Friendship was lit with an Indian Ceremony by a member of the Lenape Indian tribe. Three Indians came across the lake from their reservation with a torch lit by flint and steel as token of “Friendship” with the white man. I think we can assume it was three OA brothers canoeing across Crystal Lake with a torch to light this fire of friendship. Later that same summer, Scout Executive Charles M. Heistand, Camp Director Joseph H. Brinton and Assistant Camp Director Russell A. Turner conceived of a Tower of Friendship to host this Everlasting Light. They then asked A. G. Jeffery of Troop 17 to design and build the tower. He gladly took on the challenge. At the time Jeffery worked as an Engineer for Bell Laboratories. The tower was to be constructed of stone and a campaign was initiated to solicit donations from dignitaries associated with Scouting and TMR, along with stones from each of the 48 states and several countries. In constructing the Tower or Friendship, it was the earnest desire of the officials of Camp Man that the Tower would be a symbol and reminder of
the friendships that exist among our Scouts at Ten Mile River and among Scouts everywhere... friendships to treasure for years to come. That summer every Scout in Camp Man contributed one stone to the Tower's foundations to secure its stability. So each camper of Troop 17 who attended in the summer of 1936 is represented in its foundation. Other stones were arriving daily. The tower was sited to stand in front of Stag Hall, the camp’s Headquarters, just beyond it’s porch approximately where a bronze stag stood.

H. P. Palmer, who is listed as Council Scout Commissioner in the Tower of Friendship booklet published in 1939, is credited for donating a stone from Camp Matinecock (#74). The booklet states that Mr. Palmer “spent more than twenty summers in Queens Scout Camps.”
A. G. Jeffery and the Tower of Friendship are featured in Dr. James E. West’s page in the February 1938 issue of Boys’ Life, ironically on page 17!
Justice Federic Kernochan passed away on January 9th 1937 in Tuxedo New York aged 60. He had been personally responsible for raising the one million dollars to acquire and open Ten Mile River. To honor his contributions the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York initiated a campaign to construct a new dining hall in his memory. A. G. Jeffery was once again called upon to design a memorial. The stones were furnished by the Scouts at Camp Man and constructed by them in August of 1938. The Scouts of Troop 17 were most likely involved.

Built in 1938 the Kenochan Memorial dining hall and activities building was the heart of a newly created third division for Camp Man. It was thought of as a “living memorial” to honor Judge Kernochan. With a capacity of 208 Scouts and Scouters it addressed the growing numbers attending Camp Man. When the Greater New York Councils took responsibility for the operation of all the camps across the reservation in 1953, Camp Man was reorganized into two distinct camps, Camp Lakeside and Camp Kernochan and they were no longer exclusive to Queens Council Scouts. Later Camps Lakeside and Kernochan were merged into one Camp Kernochan. It remained in operation uninterrupted until recently. Just a few years ago it came close to reopening.
The Kernochan Memorial Dining Hall today. Designed by Grosvenor S. Wright – Architect, and Noel & Miller consultants. Grosvenor Sterling Wright Mr. Wright studied Architecture at Syracuse University and earned his masters at Columbia. He assisted on the design of Radio City Music Hall and worked for the celebrated firm of McKim Mead and White, prior to opening in his own office on Fifth Avenue. The Taconic House at Williams College may be his most notable work. He joined Scouting in 1920 and first served on Staten Island’s Council Executive Board the following year 1921. From 1929 to 1932 he served on the Executive Board of the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York representing Staten Island Council. George Wright assisted in selecting the properties to create Ten Mile River while on the Design and Development Committee of the Boy Scout Foundation. In 1931 Wright was Staten Island’s very first recipient of the Silver Beaver. After retiring from architecture he became TMR’s Property Superintendent and supervised a maintenance crew of 20 men from 1934 until his death in 1944 at his house on the reservation aged only 60. He also served as Postmaster of the TMR Post Office from 1935 till 1944. He most likely also designed the handsome Kernochan Office which still stands but who’s roof was recently damaged by a fallen tree and is now in danger of deterioration.

A Staff member belonging to Troop 17 at Central Division, Camp Man in 1938 (2nd from right). At that time Camp Man was now made up of 3 Divisions, Lakeside, Central, and Kernochan. Each division operated as a separate camp with their own staff and dining hall. This could imply that Troop 17 was now attending summer camp as a home unit for the first time in history and now in a campsite in Central Division rather than Lakeside. Keep in mind it wasn’t till the creation of the Kernochan Division in 1938 that Camp Man had room to permit home units. If so, this would be an image of what we now refer to as a “Scoutmasters Roundtable” at TMR. But on the other hand, the men all don’t look to be over 21 years of age despite this being labeled “Scouters.” Perhaps these are the unit’s Senior Patrol Leaders?
Troop 17, Elmhurst, L.I., N.Y., location and date unidentified, possibly mid-1930s, back row: 2nd from right A. G. Jeffery, 3rd from right H. P. Palmer 4th from right Queens Council Commissioner and 1st on left J. L. Jeffery (son). We do know that a Fred Weichert was Scoutmaster of Troop 17 from 1927 to 1934 – 32 years old at the time he became Scoutmaster. 1935-1935, Guy Harold Peters Jr. – 22 years old, 1936-1936, Peter A. Lanese – 45 years old, and 1937-1937 – Jarold Chandler – 31 years old, 1938-1938 – Warren Schwagerl – 23 year old and nephew of the founding Scoutmaster, George Winfield Schwager, and then in 1939 James Jeffery at age 24 became Scoutmaster before entering the Navy in 1940 (upper left and looking less than 24 years old). Given these ages the Scoutmaster in this photo might be to the left of Mr. Palmer and standing with a boy that could be his son, rather than the older gentleman on the upper right. If the Scoutmaster is the man at center, it is most likely dating to 1936 when Peter A. Lanese was Scoutmaster at 45 or 1937 when Jarold Chandler was Scoutmaster at age 31. Also J. L. Jeffery looks approximately the same age as he does in the following 1936 photos taken by his dad.

Legendary Scoutmaster Ralph Defalco (b.1928 – d.2018) was most certainly familiar with the Tower of Friendship and aware of these early Troop 17 Scouters prior to his military service in WWII. He entered Scouting in 1940 and was drafted in 1946 age 18. While stationed in Japan Ralph was one of the founders Boy Scout Troop 1 in Tokyo.
This is an image of Troop 1 Tokyo at a military spotting station, though unidentified, this could potentially be Scoutmaster Defalco with his Japanese Troop during the American occupation.

ALBION G. JEFFERY
Following his graduation by Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1911 with a B.S. degree, A. G. Jeffery was a switchboard engineer with the General Electric Company, first at Schenectady and later with the Sprague Electric Division in New York. He then joined the panel development group of the Western Electric Engineering Department, where he was concerned with equipment engineering for the semi -automatic system being installed in the Waverly, Mulberry and Branch Brook offices in Newark. Upon the completion of this work he transferred to the group making cost studies on machine- switching systems and later to the group engineering the panel offices. Early in 1921 Mr. Jeffery went to the A T & T on a loan basis, where, for a year and a half, he was with a group which made a study of the merit and economy of using the panel system as we know it today in all large metropolitan areas. Upon his return to West Street he was with the fundamental cost study group covering all types of proposed telephone systems, and later with the manual group of the Equipment Development Department, where he was associated with the development of the No. 3 Information Desk and other equipment of this general type. In 1937 he returned to the equipment cost group, where he has since been engaged in making economic studies in connection with the crossbar system. -- Bell Laboratory Record January 1947 to December 1947, p.41
