Central Park - overlooking Bethesda Fountain

I do not know the boys in the photo. I took it in the late 1960s on a day trip to Central Park. At that time I lived in the suburbs. I was taken by how the three of them dressed in the same uniform looked. I wondered what their organization was because they were not in Boy Scout or Cub Scout uniforms. I wondered what they were thinking of the fabulous fountain and all of the people below.
