Okay folks, I hope those who have seen this page have been spreading the word regarding our anniversary celebration (October 26 and 27) to your fellow scouts. Please have them message me with their contact information so we can get invitations out via email.

The next step I am needing help with is the identification of hundred and hundreds of pictures we have had in the scout office for decades.

All of the pictures are on the following Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-99AFF83WPkT3pXo0LOWlAMIIR1dU11c

I am not sure this is the best way to go about doing this, but it is how we are going to start. The pictures are separated into decades and years (at least as best the scouts could). I encourage everyone to share this drive and look through the photos and help identify any picture not captioned. If you identify a non-captioned photo, please message me the decade, year and photo number so I can get it updated.

We are not sure how we want to ultimately use these, but first we wanted to at least get them pushed out. At some point soon we will be asking for any photos you might have, so please start looking for those and get them digitized

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Happy hunting - Brian
