100 Years of Scouting 2009 100 YEARS OF SCOUTING Celebrating the Adventure Continuing the Journey When you joined your Boy Scout troop you dreamed of going to camp…being an outdoorsman and experiencing the thrill of adventure with your friends. You wanted to be independent and share the outdoors with others. This summer of 2009 we will be celebrating the 100 Years Of Scouting. You will learn about Daniel Carter Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton, two of the pioneers of the BSA. Dan Beard was a painter, illustrator and one of the founders of the BSA. He formed “The Society of the Sons of Daniel Boone” which developed into “The Boy Pioneers” which became a part of the Boy Scouts of America. He was the first National Commissioner and Chairman of the Court of Honor. Ernest Thompson Seton was a naturalist and a writer. In 1902 he organized the Woodcraft Indians for boys in order to encourage outdoor activities. He joined forces with other youth leaders to help form the BSA. He was Chief Scout in 1911 when the first Handbook for Boys was published, and wrote the sections on Nature and Tracks and Trailing in the first Handbook for Boys. The rest is History!!! Learn more this summer!!! The first Scouts had the same dreams you have….to become an outdoorsman and experience the thrill of adventure with your friends. You want to be independent and share the outdoors with others. Your dream can come true by attending one of the finest camps in the country, Camp Conestoga. You will have the greatest experience of your life with your friends, your troop, and your leaders—testing your skills, and learning new ones.

Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

    Following the Evening Star 60 years of the Loquanne Allangwh Lodge #428. Celebrating 100 years of the Order of the Arrow Founding of Boy Scouts and the Order of the Arrow W.D. Boyce, a newspaper magnate who was saved in the London fog by a British Boy Scout and taken to Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, founded the Boy Scouts of America during the Progressive Era. In the United States, Boyce combined Baden-Powell’s military and chivalric Scouting for Boys with Ernest Thompson Seton’s Woodcraft Indians and Daniel Carter Beard’s Sons of Daniel Boone including American Indian crafts and pioneer skills into the Boy Scouts of America. The American Scouting movement officially began in 1910 and received a Congressional Charter in 1916. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow at the Treasurer Island Scout Reservation near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1915. Goodman and Edson agreed that the Scouting program should exemplify the Scout Oath and Law not only Scoutcraft skills. The Order of the Arrow would use the crafts and dress of the American Indian to reach this goal. Nearly one hundred years later, the Order of the Arrow continues to serve local councils and camps acMorriss the United States. Boy Scouting in Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma The Boy Scouts of America reached the four states region of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana almost as soon as it was founded. Various churches and civic organizations chartered the earliest Boy Scout troops and the Scoutmasters dealt directly with the National Office in New York City for charters, uniforms and advancement materials.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.

    INDEX to West Plains Gazette Issues 1 through 30 1978–1987 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface and Acknowledgments i Notes on Preparation and Use of Index ii Index of Articles 1 Index of Authors 7 Index of People 13 Subject Index 149 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The West Plains Gazette was published from 1978 to 1987 by Russ Cochran. The thirty issues are a treasure, a collection of photographs and stories contributed by area residents about their families, the people who touched their lives, and places that shaped them. On one of my visits to West Plains when I was chatting with former classmate Toney Aid about my work indexing nonfiction books, it didn’t take him long to bring up the need for an index to the West Plains Gazette. As an author, historic preservationist, and unofficial resource for local history, Toney told me he often referred to issues of the West Plains Gazette to answer questions; without an index, the process was time consuming and sometimes fruitless. I began exploring the possibility of having this project taken on by the Pro Bono Committee of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American Society for Indexing. Approval was granted, volunteers were recruited and screened by the Pro Bono Committee chair Sherry Smith, Toney Aid provided a complete set of Gazettes for use by the volunteers, and work began. For new indexers, it was an opportunity to gain experience and mentoring. New and experienced indexers who volunteered their time include: Indexer Issues Indexed Kathy Anderson, Elementary Indexing 6, 7 Lori R. Bell, Bell, Book & Index 20 Erica Caridio, Last Word Indexing 16, 18 Gayle Davies Indexing Services 1, 2, 3 Nancy Gerth 8 Judy Gordon 17, 19 S.
