Great Salt Lake Council Scout-O-Rama 2017


I was at the far north end of the Expo with a wall about 80' long.  I purchased some hangers that I stretched out and hung my uniforms from the hangers so people could read the description card.  This allowed me to put flags along the top of the wall, along with my Scouting Heritage banner.  Then, 4 tables provided for free by the Scout-o-rama, along with 4 tables I brought myself.  This allowed me to display a number of things and people really were excited and appreciated the effort.  However, I wish I had a wall more toward the center of the building so more people could see it.  They had to walk through the Trade-o-ree section to get to the memorabilia display but many made it over.

Some old uniforms were very popuplar.

Boys love the Cub Scouting display as always.
