Norfolk boy scouts stand with their leader Carroll Estes on the steps of the Church of Christ Congregational about 1960. Scouting came to Norfolk fifty years earlier in 1911 when architect Alfredo Taylor formed the first troop, named for Norfolk benefactor Frederick M. Shepard, and served as scoutmaster.  After a hiatus during World War II, the troop was reorganized in 1945 and chartered as Troop 33. With camping and outdoor recreation a priority for the scouts, the creation of the 106-acre Frederick Sprague Barbour Scout Reservation on Loon Meadow Drive in 1969 was a welcome gift from Frederick K. Barbour in memory of his son. Pictured here are: Jeff Millard, Ernie Treadway and Peter Estes.
