Don't miss your chance to bid on this amazing piece of American history! What a unique and rare find with an added few ounces of mystery to keep it extra interesting. (You can read my thoughts on the matter below)
This incredible archive includes a chronology of 2 Cub Scouts from the 1950's sheds light on their adventures and activities where one boy was part of Hawaii's Aloha Council, Troup 20 and the other part of New York state's Otetiana Council Troup 129. (The original Otetiana members are now part of the new Seneca Waterways Council which was born from the merger of the Otetiana Council and the nearby Finger Lakes Council in 2009. ) Each boy's paper artifacts from their day are in surprisingly fantastic condition as is the Knot Tying instruction card and suppled practice rope included in the book. Probably most coveted however is the sizeable collection of badges and patches earned by the boys between 1952 and 1958 whilst they learned new skills, building lifelong character and respectable ethics from their tasks.
After reviewing this book myself, a mystery opened up as I found no answer to the background of the two boys named in this book. I'm left guessing who were they, how were they connected, what ever came of them, and who created this book? Perhaps you, as the new owner of this important piece of America's modern history, will unwind the mystery and reveal it to us all! Who knows, the outcome could be the next bestselling book or blockbuster movie in the making!

Make me a reasonable offer! Interested in the book, but not the price? I literally picked the price out of what seemed reasonable, but could very well be too low or too high.
