Pipestone History

Well, I'm back from Summer Camp, and with my Second Year Pipestone.

So here's a little history behind it:
Seven Ranges, in the Buckeye Council in Northeastern Ohio, is a wonderful Boy Scout Camp that has great traditions, facilities, food, staffed programs and fun."7R" has an 83 year old camp honors program called "Pipestone" named after the blood-red stone quarried by Native Americans in Minnesota and earned by the 7R camp honorees each year.

There are certain requirements to earn it, along with the secret ceremony at the end of the week. It's so secret, I'm not allowed to say much, or my Pipestone may get taken away.

Here's a drawing of my first year Pipestone:
