BSA & Boy Scouts Historical Photos by Pyromomma

Baden Powell started it all in 1907 with "Scouting for Boys". In 1910 the Boy Scouts movement came to the US. This is a collection of different photos and scans, some from archives, some from my personal collection, says compiler Pyromomma. Enjoy. Your Lyon Patrol Leader has seen this and it is an excellent slide show with great background music. Click the link below to go watch it!
