It is estimated that in 1977 the switch was donated to the [[wikipedia:Boy_Scouts_of_America|Boy Scouts of America]] and was installed as a PABX at a camp in Monroe by the [[Tinker Toy Telephone Company]], a group of volunteers that included Red Vernon. The system was referred to as the "inter-camp phone." Each program area and cabin had a phone with a two-digit phone number and could call other phones around camp.
