Why was the Fort Steuben Scout Reservation Alumni Association formed?

The greatest adventures of a Scout's life begins at Scout camp. Camp is the best place for Scouts to develop their outdoor skills, self-confidence, leadership, an appreciation for nature, and respect for others. It is at camp that Scouts learn to live and work together, and to share and cooperate with one another. The Fort Steuben Alumni Association was formed to foster the ideals of Scouting, and to promote Scout camping.
