Scoutland, Inc.

It doesn't look as if this is still Scoutland, Inc., but the plaque helped to indicate to us that we were in the right place. According to the 1937 book, Scoutland, Inc. was a 1300-acre reservation, containing 41 cabins for Scouts to stay at (presumably Boy Scouts? The book doesn't say). Apparently, in 1937, the place attracted "Scouts" from all over the world. Just inside the entrance were supposed to be two log cabins, one for the rangers and one for the superintendent. I have provided above photos of the buildings just inside the entrance. They look newer than 1937 to me. 

We were also supposed to be finding the Trading Post, "a two-story square tower of broad stone with a bell, resembling a California Mission," but we just could not find that anywhere, although we drove for the "short distance" that the 1937 book directed us to drive. The book warns us that "it is possible to drive through the reservation over a narrow rough road bordered by a second-growth forest; but the drive is for hardy souls only."
