The official troop photos taken by members of the camp staff did not occur until 1978.  Prior to that, troops were on their own to capture a group photo for remembering their summer camp experience.

In 1978, HSR gave Troops the option of having the camp photographer capture their group photograph.  Ernie Heegard supplied the equipment and a room in Campmasters Lodge and later the White House was converted into a dark room for the summer.

Horseshoe Scout Reservation took the big leap into color photography in 1987 and has not looked back.

In keeping with the lasted technology, the HSR photographers continue to produce high quality, high resolution group photos and even included some nice titles to the images.

As digital camera technology improved, so did the pictures. The next decade of images is a testament to the technology progress of the times and how HSR implemented it.

Despite Instagram taking the photography world be storm, the tried and true group photographs of our units still share one thing with the backlash to our social media world: they show no filter.
