Utah Scout Expo 2014

Well, another year and my 4th Utah Scout Expo.  This year was bigger than ever.  I had around 50 uniforms, 3 long tables and 3 card tables and 10 bookcases.  We were tucked back in a triangle area rather than on a main street, so I don't think we were able to reach out and share Scouting heritage as much as usual.  Hopefully, next year they'll give us a location on a little more traveled path.

Here's a link to the youtube posted video: 


Here's Carson Davis helping me get the truck unloaded and setting things up Friday at 4:15.

Here's a side-shot of the display area.  Along the back wall were several uniforms, along with the 10 bookcases.  Tables were set up with all kinds of Scouting items.  In front of the tables, to the left of the picture, were several uniforms from the 1910's to the 1950's.

Here's a link to a video of the display at the end of the day:

Trapper Trails Scout-O-Rama 2014

Well, I took the EYO Patrol to the annual Scout-o-rama in Logan.  We did a 'booth' of Scouting memorabilia.
Here we are under the trees starting to set up.
Here it begins to take shape.

Now the tables. 


Here are people viewing some of my collection.
