Yes it isn't Saturday but while this is approved by the Boy Scouts of America it is not official Boy Scout equipment so here it is on Thursday.
The Steve Scout Avalanche on Blizzard Ridge is a fairly common set except for the version that comes with a figure. I bought one set in the days before the internet and I removed the figure from the backing card inside. This is the one seen in photo #1. Today I got one I bought off eBay with everything intact. Well the inside part at least. For some reason somone cut the sides off the box so it only has the front and back of the box. Anyway that is enough as I have a box although it is a bit rough.
As can be seen this comes with many accessories including a snowmobile. Along with the snowmobile there are skis and snowshoes along with a sled for the snowmobile. Also there is winter clothing including a jacket, pants, cap, mittens and googles. There may be a few pieces I left out but plenty of play value in this set. I fear the Steve Scout figure will be stuck on this card for years to come but is out of the box to enjoy some fresh air.
This is a really cool set. I love that snowmobile!!
You have such fun stuff....I would have sneaked a bucketful if snow into the house so I could stay warm but test out the equipment and rescue skills of Steve or maybe trap him in a avalanche...lots of possibilities here!
This Kenner Scout stuff was under appreciated during its time evidently. There was like zero advertising or marketing. Nice find for sure, cool(no pun intended) set.
Funny I never saw this before, but maybe because I was hard at work loading Bombs and Ammunitions on Railcars and Ships to notice, in 1974! Nice set to have, and find Brian, and great post also! :^)
Thank you very much Scott. It is a cool set.
Thank you very much Watchsearcher. Too bad it isn't winter here for display purposes only. Summer much less stressful here.
Thank you very much Toyrebel. I never heard of Steve Scout and I was kid at the time.
Thank you very much Bill. Loading bombs sounds fun. The post made CW Facebook.
This is a great set, the snowmobile, shoes, even the beanie!
Kenner did great stuff and there is so much less of it than other brands, so nice find Fort.
Congrats on your post making it to FB!!
Thank you very much Scott. Looks like the post was a great success. Now I have to expand the Steve Scout display.
Thank you
