Blake Cortright, a Boy Scout from Latham, N.Y., has written, directed and produced a fascinating documentary film about what is believed to be the first-ever Boy Scout camp in America.
Blake got the idea when he was a sophomore in high school and his troop visited a camp called Silver Bay in the Adirondack Mountains area of New York state. Historians say that Silver Bay was the site of the first Scout camp in this country.
Blake watched a presentation of the early days of Scouting in that area, and the idea for the movie was born.
The film has aired on public television stations in the Latham area. You can check out a clip from the film here. Read more about the film and its 16-year-old Eagle Scout producer, and purchase a copy of the DVD here. You can also read more about the documentary on this Facebook page.

Blake Cortright, mwanajeshi kutoka Latham, NY, ameandika, kuongoza na kutengeneza filamu ya maandishi ya kuvutia kuhusu kile kinachoaminika kuwa kambi ya kwanza ya Boy Scout nchini Marekani. Blake na wenzake walipokuwa katika mwaka wa pili wa shule ya sekondari, walienda kwenye kambi ya kijeshi ya Silver Bay, katika eneo la milima ya Adirondack, New York. Wanahistoria husema kwamba Silver Bay ilikuwa mahali pa kambi ya kwanza ya Waskuti katika nchi hii. Blake alitazama maonyesho ya siku za mapema za Scouting katika eneo hilo, na wazo la filamu lilizaliwa. Filamu hiyo imeonyeshwa kwenye vituo vya televisheni vya umma katika eneo la Latham.
