We are excited to announce that our pool refresh is now complete! This was a major project that ensured our swimming facility is ready to welcome Scouts to camp this summer for another season of memories at Cub Scout Adventure Camp here at J. Warren Cutler Scout Reservation.

A big thank you to everyone who helped complete this major renovation project.

Camp Cutler Pool Project Update

Before the first splash of summer, there’s a lot of work happening behind the scenes at Camp Cutler.

Crews have been hard at work getting the pool ready for the season, including repairs, deep cleaning, prep work, and the installation of a new liner. It may not look like swim season just yet, but this is the kind of important work that helps make those sunny afternoons, swim checks, cannonballs, and camp memories possible.

We’re excited to see the progress and can’t wait to welcome Scouts and families back to the water this summer!

Have you ever wondered how the Red Deer became a Camp Cutler icon?

The Origin of “Red Deer Day” at Camp Cutler by John C. Reed

Hugh Malcolm Stevenson’s lifelong love of Scouting began in 1930 when at the age of 12 he joined Troop 20. He attended the old Camp Pioneer on Seneca Lake. In 1936 he was elected into the Order of the Arrow, and served on the Charter Committee that founded and organized Ty-Ohni Lodge. He was part of the original Name Committee, Constitution Committee, and By-Laws Committee. In 1939 he was elected as the second Lodge Chief, and in 1940, along with two other Ty-Ohni Arrowmen attended the National Lodge Meeting held at Camp Twin Echo in Ligonier, PA. As an adult, he was Scoutmaster of Troops 20 and 31. He received the Vigil Honor, and was Lodge Advisor for nine years and Section Advisor. During the war years of 1944 and 1945 he kept the Lodge going by serving as Lodge Chief Pro-Tem. He also received the Scoutmaster’s Award and Key, District Award, Silver Beaver and the American Legion Award. One of Malcolm’s Legacies to our Area’s Scouting program was the founding of Red Deer Day at the old Camp Cutler, a tradition that is still carried on today. Malcolm’s nickname once was Red, since he had red hair. While serving as Camp Ranger, he befriended a small deer so it happened. Red’s deer evolved into Red Deer Day in the early 1950’s. Malcolm was the last of the original Ty-Ohni charter members. He never lost his interest in the Order of the Arrow. He attended and spoke at our Lodge Banquet in 1996. He will be remembered and Missed by all.
