A road in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Boy Scout Lane is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The Stevens Point lane where a Scout troop is said to have vanished.

The site is open to visitors.

Boy Scout Lane is the legend without the bodies — the unpaved road in Linwood where a troop of Boy Scouts was murdered in the 1950s or '60s, except that no troop ever died there. The Boy Scouts owned the land and never built the camp; the name outlived the plan and the legend filled the empty ground.
The story was the campfire — the murdered troop, the Scoutmaster or the bus driver or the lantern that started the fire. The record says the BSA bought the land for a camp that was never constructed; the deaths are fictional. The lights in the trees are reported anyway.
The lane is still there — the 2,500 feet of private dirt road, the no-trespassing signs, the sheriff's deputies who answer the legend's visitors. The file keeps the legend: the camp that was never built, the troop that never died, and the road that got its ghost anyway.
Boy Scout Lane is the archive's legend file — the camp that wasn't built, the murders that didn't happen, and the road that's haunted by a name.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Boy Scout Lane is the archive's legend file — the false history that became a ghost story, the camp that never existed, and the road that keeps the legend.
A road named for a plan keeps its ghosts — the file's suggestion being that Boy Scout Lane's hold is the name: the BSA land that never got its camp, the fictional troop, and the legend that outlived the truth.
