Camp Tom Wooten

Page & Ted Piland Were Scouts in Austin, Texas


 

“We spent many sweet years as campers, and later as staff members, at the old scout Camp Tom Wooten located on Bull Creek just outside Austin. Later the camp was moved to be near Bastrop State Park. Some of our best times were spent at the swimming pool by the creek. It was little beat up and crooked and leaky even way back then. We never noticed.

 

“The lifeguards were our heroes. Later Ted (Piland) became Head Lifeguard during summers and between semesters at Sam Houston State College where he studied Printing Management.”

Below is a link to Page’s “27 or 29 /Stories” that tells of his life in Austin, Texas and his remembrances at Camp Tom Wooten as a youth. It is in .pdf format.
