Merge Cub World edit

Copyedit and merge Cub World. Another Musser program. Both Webelos Planet and Cub World should redirect to Cub Scouting (Boy Scouts of America) as they are programs found in many councils. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 22:55, 21 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Delmont edit

Camp Delmont was named after the two counties that made up the original Valley Forge Council, Delaware and Montgomery. It is now one of the two camps that make up the 1400+ acre Musser Scout Reservation in Pennsylvania. The original 35 acres was purchased for $500.00 and included a stone house. Summer Camp was first held there in 1916. The name "Camp Delmont" was used at other locations for summer camp previous to 1916. The first camp of the Valley Forge Council was Camp Pequea, located along the Susquehanna River 15 miles Southwest of Lancaster, this camp was owned by a trolley company and was offered to all Scouts from Eastern Penna. In 1913, the Council obtained the rights to use White's Island in the Delaware below Scudder's Falls and this camp was known as Camp Delmont. This camp was used in 1913 and 1914. In 1915, they moved to an island in the Schuylkill known as Pioneer Island. It was used during 1915 and 1916. In 1916, the first section of what is now Delmont Scout Reservation was purchased and used that year as a summer camp.
