Hey everyone. In a couple of weeks I'm attending my first week long scout camp with my kid. I was in scouts as a kid but I don't think my adult body can function on the same amount of gear and clothing as I did as a kid. Looking for any recommendations from those adults about must have or nice to have things to bring/wear. We are camping in northern WI so warm and humid most likely. Thank you in advance!
So recently I have gotten really into scout history and vintage gear. I bought these two shirts and this pair of pants and would like to know about the buttons specifically, whether they have names, when they were used, etc. If any info that I have included is false, could be clarified, or if you can add more info onto it please do!
Images 1-3: 1950s - early 1960s shirt
Features red and white township-state patches
Flat dark brown blank collar button
Light almost coffee brown button with very faint fleur de lis symbol on it with age cracks on them
Images 4-5: late 1930s - 1940s
Features red and white Arched council patch and troop numbers
Js under troop no. There's a patch with a green background with brown words and bordering reading "BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA" with the first class emblem in yellow
Flat dark brown buttons with four scout fleur de lis on them
Image 6-7 1960s? Pants (correct me if I am wrong)
Chocolate brown buttons that read "BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA"
Edits adding more info that I somehow forgot to add in (I wish I could add more pictures)
Looking for year and rough value
I'm the guy under the X, but I don't even recall exactly what year it was. (It was essentially chuckwagon races on ice. We all had skates on; some of us were horses; Stuart -- the smallest -- was sitting in the plywood chuckwagon; out-riders; the whole shebang!)
My son just received Eagle and I am going to start writing some businesses/celebrities that he would appreciate receiving a note from. Can a general letter be used to send to everyone or should they be specific (noting reason that person means something to my son)?
Also, have people had luck if they did not include self addressed stamped envelope?
Thanks!
Need some suggestions to give my youngest to present to the principal. What projects have you done or seen at a high school? He has no preference and turns 18 in November. Here he is with his brother both working at Rodney Scout Reservation. Eldest is the Program Director in his sixth year working at camp. Very proud papa Eagle Scout.
Hello, I don't know if this is the right place for this, so I'm sorry in advance
My Boy Scout Organisation "PLAST" is organizing a Summer camp, & I was put in charge of explaining how to cook, clean dishes & properly and fairly feed the all the people in a Forest enviroment.
I am personally having trouble of how to fairly distribute food and cook it in the right amount to prevent empty plates.
So I'm asking yall to see some advice on how this could be done, due to the sources I found being vague with how to portion the food between a large group of people
Please ask for more detail in case I missed something or something is not understood well.
I have no idea what this is and if there is any monetary value in it, please help!
