Comments: Hello all,
Arnie Briggs has asked me to put together a Camp Squanto
history from the 70s to present for the Camp Squanto Alumni Assoc. As we head
into the new year Im looking
forward to getting started in this project and would appreciate any help that
you could give me.
I thought I might start by looking for staff lists and photos. (The current
CSAA webpage has photos from 84 to 04 with the exceptions of 96 and 98.) Of
course, the people on this list have a combined number of years experience at
Squanto that is simply staggering. I would love to add any memories that you
may have, in particular if you recall when programs were added, when campsites
were added or locations changed, buildings expanded, created, etc... (It might
be pretty neat to add a page to the current website of people that influenced
us over the years, sort of a thank you for all their work in helping to create
the successful program that Squanto offers today.)
I know that were all busy people but I would greatly appreciate any help that
you can give. Please feel free to forward this email to other staff members you
feel could contribute.
A happy and healthy new year to all!
Sincerely,
Gary Hyman

campers and staff a great 2006. Camp
Squanto had another
record season this past summer. Lots of scouts who enjoyed
tremendous programs with enthusiastic staff members. Still the best
Scout Camp in the Region!
The Alumni Association donated $1500.00 towards the new kayaks for the
waterfront, and $350.00 to staff training. Thanks to the Ed Christophers
Fund and Alumnus Shawn Donnelly, over $500.00 was given in scholarships to
various staff members.The Casoni
Museum, owned and operated by the Association, is still in operation and open
during the summer for visitors.
I hope you continue to support the camp as you have done in the past. The
Spirit of Squanto still exists!

Comments: It was greatly saddened to hear today of the recent loss of Aleramo Skiddy Casoni. As a young child growing up up
in Whitman, I lived next door to the Casoni family
for many years. Although almost 50 years have past, many of my childhood
memories are firmly rooted with Skiddy and the Casoni family. From playing in his yard to attending cub scout meetings in his home, the Casonis
were like part of our extended family. How wonderous
were the sights and smells to a young boy visiting in his workshop. Even as an
adult, when my wife and I had an opportunity to visit a few years back, a trip
into the workshop held that same majic. Our thoughts
and prayers go out to the Casoni family and everyone
who was touched by this great man. Im sure there was
a special place in heaven waiting for him.

Comments: The web site brought back many memories from my years at camp
in the 1960s, both as a camper in the Mohican area from 1961-1963 and a
counselor from 1964-1967. I would be interested in learning more about the Casoni museum. Was it named in honor of Dave Casoni? I remember the forest fire that touched the camp.
Many of us spent time waiting in the mess hall to try to protect the buildings
if the fire got close enough but it just touched the corner of the camp. That
summer with Camp Cachalot
and Squanto combined operations at the Squanto facilities, we met many great
people from the New Bedford
area. Always enjoyed taking campers on overnight canoe trips
across Fawn Pond, and down the stumpy river to camp out at the dam down river.
What does the fund raising auction support?

Below is a tribute from Skiddys Congressman dated
1989. It gives a good picture of a great man!
Jim
A TRIBUTE TO MR. ALERAMO `SKIDDY CASONI OF WHITMAN, MA
-- HON. BRIAN J. DONNELLY (Extension of Remarks - May 02, 1989)
[Page: E1448]
---
HON. BRIAN J. DONNELLY
in the House of Representatives
TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1989
Mr. DONNELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and salute one of my
constituents, Mr. Aleramo `Skiddy
Casoni of Whitman, MA. `Skiddy
was born in Italy in 1906
and arrived in the United
States in 1915. Mr. Casoni
joined the Boy Scouts of America in 1919 as a Lone Scout. Today, 70 years later
`Skiddy is still a member, visiting two of the local
camps regularly.
`Skiddy has been a living example of independence and
dependability. Through the 1940s and 1950s for 18 years he has served as
scoutmaster and a key member of the search committee that founded Camp Squanto,
in Plymouth. `Skiddy helped plan, design and build the Camp Squanto
we know today.
From scoutmaster he went on to serve as neighborhood commissioner, where his
guidance inspired many of the young scouts to go on to pursue very fulfilling
lives. This is the sort of commitment and dedication that earned him such
distinguished honors as the Silver Beaver in 1955 and the St. George Award in
1957. In the 1980s `Skiddy was presented with the
Silver Deer award, the Order of the Arrow Founders award and the Good Turn
award.
Mr. Casoni exhibits the genuine integrity essential
to building the character and leadership qualities the Boy Scouts traditionally
instill in their members.
In addition to all `Skiddy does for the Scouts, he is
also very active in the Whitman community. His efforts have been recognized and
awarded by various groups and associations. The Junior Chamber of Commerce and
the Plymouth County Education Association extended their esteem for `Skiddy by honoring him with their distinguished service
awards and the list goes on and on.
On Friday May 5, the Old Mills District of the Old Colony Council of the Boy
Scouts of America, will be honoring `Skiddy for his decades of continual support and devotion,
at their annual dinner.
`Skiddy Casoni is the
embodiment of American ideals. As a first generation immigrant he has taught
the youth of this country what sincere commitment, solid values, and focused
ideals can achieve in America
today.

asked for info on Sean Lyons, and I need info on old friends too (I dont expect the ones I chased away to respond, but Id be
glad to reconcile my differences if they do)
Heres a copy of the lettewr
I sent Carl Jr:
Im not Sean, or Chris, or Gary, but I called your
father looking for your phone number a couple weeks ago. Id love to have Karens too, but thats
another story.
I had precisely two people in troop 20 who acted like they were my friends. You, and Jim Lyons. I found Sean Lyons on the web. The
picture looks like him. Ive recently had cause to be
concerned about how I treated him after his brother died, and when your father
told me his family dissappeared, and Squantos Camp director said his parents
havent visited in five years, I wanted to find out if
they were okay. On a Catholic network, a man who wrote a book about how he
dealt with the grief of a lost six year old boy made me think of them. Ive had a very bad feeling about their dissappearing
like that, and it just wont go away. If I found the
right person, he seems to have become a journalist, but I cant
get him to respond to e-mail. I really want to find out where he is and whats happenning.
If you know what happened to Jeff Goldman or how I can get hold of him, or if
you find Sean, please call and let me know at 740-292-1138. If I can have your
phone number, I can save you money because I dont get
charged extra for long distance? Besides, Id love to
talk to you again. I didnt have many freiends in Scouts, but Im
writing a book and the characters are based on people I know.

areas of the camp. Before that I was a camper for two years with Norfolk Troop
80. My oldest son is now in Boy Scouts and I hope to get his troop to Squanto
next summer. I know he will enjoy it as much as I did. I was back for a visit
for a visit a couple of weeks ago. I was happy to see some of the improvements
but I was also happy to see that a lot is exactly the way I remember camp as a
boy.
In my free time these days I serve as Cubmaster for
Norton Cub Pack 61 and Asst Scout Master for Troop 61.
If anyone has any pictures of the camp from the late 1970’s I would love to get
copies. Unfortunately, I don’t have many photos from my time at Squanto. Email

Comments: I camped at Squanto from 1970 - 1975 with Troop 16 from Brockton, MA.
Six years! I got just about every merit badge that was offered. Had a great time every year. All of the years except one we stayed at the Sioux site. I wouldnt trade those trips for anything. My son now goes to
camp at T.L. Storer in NH. I kind of wish he could go
to Squanto also but I guess things have to change. Im
sorry Camp Child had to close. I never stayed there
for the summer but I did stay there for some council camporees.
Now the camp is fill with expensive houses. Only a
couple of the camp buildings survive now. I started scouts in 1969 with the old
Squanto council. My first camping trip was with their last camporee
in the fall of 1969.
If anyone reads this from Troop 16 from that time please email me. A reunion
would be nice.

Bill Murphy, Brad Stoddard, Bill Keefe, Skip Howard and so many more, were
great influences on my life and the lives of other Camp Squanto Staff and
Campers.
My love of Scouting was nurtured at Camp
Squanto. I am now the Assitant Scoutmaster in my local troop, giving back but
what I got from these great men.
The Spirit of Squanto lives on in all of us.

Comments: At the request of Mr. Briggs I have added this guestbook to
the CSAA web site. It is designed to be a forum for alumni to share ideas,
general comments, and memories. I hope this proves to be a valuable resource
for planning future events and I look forward to seeing what others have to say.
