Leaders, proud of their Scouts‘ many accomplishments that have been recognized that night, are coaxed into a horseshoe formation for a word of thanks by the Camp Director. Thousands of Scout Leaders have given their time and effort over the last 83 summers so that Scouts could experience the brotherhood of Scouting and the Spirit of Horseshoe Scout Reservation. The Horseshoe Scout Reservation Alumni Association has dedicated our 11th reunion, in the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary year, to honor Horseshoe’s Scoutmasters and Leaders – please have them return with you for this salute. We are asking that you reach out to the leaders that you know and remember, and bring them with you, be it in person or in spirit. The festivities will take place 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm on Saturday, July 10, at the Goodman Pavilion at Camp Horseshoe. Attendees will have the afternoon to once again collect the dust of Horseshoe in their moccasins by touring the Reservation, renewing old friendships, and sharing memories. Everyone is encouraged to bring HSR photos and memorabilia to display and also documents for inclusion in the HSRAA Virtual Museum.

  • Collecting Scouting Handbooks 1910 1911
    Collecting Scouting Handbooks The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series If you are now or were ever a Scout, your first Scouting “collectible” was probably your Cub Scout or Boy Scout handbook. Since Scouting was founded in 1908 and then incorporated in the United States in 1910, there have been millions and millions of Scouting handbooks distributed. In this introductory article we will only talk about Handbooks for the Boy Scouts of America. However, if collecting printed materials from Scouting catches your interest, there are many different possibilities that a collector can consider, from both the United States and around the world. Since 1911, there have been eleven completely different editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. The following is a brief summary of each one. 1910 68,900 copies The 1910 Handbook, also referred to as the “Original Edition”, was not new material but rather a compilation of existing information from two other sources. Soon after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910, there was a huge demand for a handbook that could be used to support the efforts of the early United States Scouts. Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout of the BSA, offered to prepare a book that could be used until the first “real” handbook could be developed. He took material from Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys that had been published in England in 1908 and his own Birch Bark Roll used by the Woodcraft Indians, an earlier outdoor program youth group, and combined them to make the first Boy Scouts of America Official Handbook.

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.

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.
