Scout Encampment with Drying Laundry and Tents, State-Side, WWII Era
Laundry dries on makeshift racks amid a field of canvas tents in this candid image of a stateside summer encampment. Scenes like this were common at Boy Scout, Girl Scout, and youth organization camps during the WWII years, where outdoor skills and self-sufficiency were emphasized even as the nation mobilized for war.
