The Bridgebuilders were a group of staff members that agreed in 1986 to work for not one, but two summers. They dedicated themselves to the camping program they helped to build at Camp Tuscazoar in order to make the move to Seven Ranges as smooth as possible. Not only did they have the task of moving all the supplies and equipment, but the Spirit that keeps us all together, as well. This was not an easy task, and we honor the Bridgebuilders at each Sunday Night Campfire by visiting the Bridgebuilders’ Amphitheater. The Bridgebuilders brought the spirit with them at the start of summer camping at Seven Ranges, and we remind Scouts and Scouters of that Spirit at the start of camp each week | The Bridgebuilders were a group of staff members that agreed in 1986 to work for not one, but two summers.
