Did the Order of the Arrow there and learned a little about survival training. Also did a 50 mile hike to Silver trail and than had to turn around due to landslide. Nest year took 6(?)Tainan Girl Scouts across the Silver Trail by myself. Took us 5 days. Hopped a train to Taipei when we came out and then the daily cargo flight home to Tainan. Great times for a very young kid.<br /><br />David WilliamsDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07990136354747261857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-27189383005458932452014-07-23T20:26:44.525-05:002014-07-23T20:26:44.525-05:00We lived in Tien Mou from 1963- 1969.

We spent MANY a fine weekend at Camp McCauley. <br /><br />Anyone remember the 'Sea Turtles' that had their own 'rock cage'? Their water rose and dropped according to the tide?<br /><br />And the bomb craters on the back side of the rec area? We used cardboard boxes to slide down them. They were HUGE.<br /><br />I BELIEVE that the whole rec area, (cooking, camping, eating, drinking), was the result of a mess of bomb craters. For there was ONLY the two access points on opposite sides going out and coming in. The rest was a steep bank surrounding it like it was sheltered all the way around except the two accesses.<br /><br />And the waves were GREAT at times.<br /><br />Mike CampbellImagicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02777833067725558903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-75980516573819300812010-07-16T19:30:42.689-05:002010-07-16T19:30:42.689-05:00Tad Belknap posted that his dad was with NACC.

Pack 91 still exists too (55 years old). We've also started a new Pack 23 at the Morrison Academy Bethany campus and a Venture Crew last year. <br /><br />Last month I presented a perpetual plaque to the troop with over 40 Eagle Scout names going back to the 60's. Huge gaps remain I'm sure. Any additional Eagle names (and years) would be appreciated!<br /><br />Ray Heberer III<br />heberer@hotmail.com <br />Taiwan District Committee Chair<br />Taiwan "clan" OA AdvisorRay Heberernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-57070501012141058662009-06-07T17:52:48.897-05:002009-06-07T17:52:48.897-05:00Wow what a great place Camp McCauley was.

We just wanted to have a great time out and didn't work much on our boy scout stuff / merit badges etc. We would take Mr Bells beer and go down to the beach and mix it with the (Cheese-way) Chinese sprite to make it go further. I went to TAS from 3rd to 7th grade in the late 60's and early 70's. What a great time to be a kid in Taiwan.<br />John Foskey<br />Winter Haven Fl.

I got my swimming and lifesaving merit badges in the surf, dodging jellyfish. Troop 96 was great fun ... camping almost every summer weekend, or so it seemed, as well as the memorable 4-day hike on the Silver Trail in the summer of 1960 (if my memory serves me well). <br />Ken Merrill (ken52vincent@gmail.com)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551165228746409927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-484983482871044622009-02-13T11:28:00.000-06:002009-02-13T11:28:00.000-06:00I have fond memories of Camp McCauley....spent 2 -...I have fond memories of Camp McCauley....spent 2 -2 weeks Boy Scout summer camps there 58-59.<BR/>As well as other scouting trips and adventures.

We would often have several couples rent cabins there for the weekend and spend the weekend eating, drinking and just enjoying life.<BR/><BR/>We would have someone who spoke Chinese go to the nearest village, buy a pig, hire a crew to come to McCauley to dig a pit in the sand and cook the pig.
