The Open Road Pioneers Club was launched in October 1927 from the pages of The Open Road For Boys magazine. The club was open to all boys and men who: have an interest in outdoor life, a desire to develop their ability to use and enjoy the land and water trails, and an eagerness to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who, in blazing the way and in founding our country, lived on intimate terms with nature. (1939 Open Road Pioneers pamphlet) The Open Road Pioneers' Club was patriotic, non-political and non-sectarian. The club had no membership dues, was only loosely organized - local chapters were on their own to format their own outdoor program. Lone Pioneers, who joined alone were also encouraged.
