    This is probably my favorite box finds at the thrift store yesterday. A pack of around 50 pages of Cub Scout letterhead. It also says 'Boy Scouts of America and at the bottom 'Be Square' - which is just about the oddest saying i've ever heard. I wonder what they were thinking? Regardless, i will be writing letters on at least some of these.

      Seems like you don't hear much about the Scouts in any form nowadays (unless it's bad). I was in the Boy Scouts under duress. My Dad and the scoutmaster were friends at the FAA where they both worked. As far as being square I was always that...lol :)

      Link with some history of the scout MOTTO

      My daddio was the "Leader of the PACK" AKA scout master
      So no escaping the scouts for this kid...

      thanks mikel and wicken! i was also a scout member in Claremont, NH - troop 38. it was the same troop my father and uncle had belonged to as well. I got a lot out of it and really enjoyed my years with them. a friend and i developed a 'restaurant' of wild foods which we preserved all year and then opened the 'restaurant' at the national jamboree. these days, i hear about so many negative experiences, but mine was a very positive one.
