The historic Troop 1 Scout Cabin in Huntington Beach's Lake Park was completed in 1924. Its construction was truly a community effort, with donations and support coming from seemingly everywhere..
I shot and developed the photo above in the late 1980s and gave copies to City Historian Alicia Wentworth and the Huntington Beach Historical Society. I've been amused to see it used in a number of places as a "historic image." I guess people think any black and white photograph must be really old.

Speaking of the Boy Scouts, I hope to see some of you in a few hours at Phil Brigandi's talk on "A Century of Scouting In Orange County" at the Orange County Historical Society.
