Cub Scouts Visit Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge for a Fire Prevention and Conservation Program

Group of around 40 young boys (Cub Scouts) posing together (some of the boys wear Cub Scout uniform caps, but everyone wears casual clothes); most (if not all) of them are holding fire prevention posters (one features Smokey Bear, and reads "Carelessness Kills Tomorrow's Trees, Too!"; another poster reads "Protect the Wealth of the West - Prevent Range Fires"). Behind them is a tree bare of leaves, as well as a couple of cars parked along a road. A building is also visible in the background.
