Sand Pond Society Totem Pole Replacement
Sand Pond Society Accomplishments
The Sand Pond Society has taken on quite a few large projects since it was formed back in 2006. We've documented a few of these projects below - click on the "Read More..." link on any article to find out more and view photos.
We have been able to deliver these projects due to the overwhelming generosity of the No-Be alumni community. Please consider making a donation towards our future projects. The Sand Pond Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your donation is tax deductible. Thanks!
Totem Pole Replacement
In 2010, the Sand Pond Society joined the Weboree to replace the totem poles that welcome Scouts to camp near the camp office. The former totem poles were carved by Scouter Dave Dion in the mid 90s and have been featured in countless photos since then.
The poles were starting to show signs of significant rot. When they were removed, we found that the logs were hollow and full of insects. The new poles are carved from white oak by a local artist.
The totem on the right depicts the Scout's path through the ranks of Scouting. The totem on the left is based on a traditional Lenni Lenape totem pole that might have been found in the area long ago.
