Many of you can relate to this...back before we had kids (yes 20 years!) I spent a lot of time researching my local council. I spent hours and hours looking through newspapers by hand or on microfilm. When many of these went online I printed out reams of articles that then sat in a binder. But for many reasons I stopped pursuing that and this information has just lived in a box. This is probably another reason I keep mentioning an alumni association or historical committee. How can you take all this history that some of us are holding onto in private collections and use it to do something positive for Scouting today? Maybe it's one of the things that brings inactive alumni back the program in some shape or form? |
