Summary
The June 1958 Beaver Beacon reports Junior Trail-Blazers exploring the island woods and observing a fox near the lighthouse during popular Sunday trail trips.
Evidence and limits
This is a brief youth-activity and wildlife observation. It does not provide a formal program, trip log, complete roster, or wildlife survey.
Open questions
- Who was “Father J,” named in the report, and can he be identified by full name from parish records?
- Were the Junior Trail-Blazers a formal youth program with adult sponsorship, and does any other Beacon issue record its founding or later activities?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
Sources
