The History & Archives Committee’s Scout History Reception and Museum Unveiling

May 7, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

On May 6th, 2024, The History & Archives Committee held a Scout History Reception at the Mariott Scout Service Center – unveiling a spectacular display of Scout Historic Memorabilia, the largest display ever at any Council Office! The History Committee strives to preserve and protect local and national Scouting History – to educate future generations about Scouting’s rich heritage and service and its many positive contributions to the community and the nation, whether it be through programs like H.O.S.T Hikes (History Of Scouting Trail), H.O.S.T.I.N.G (Helping Other Scout Troops Incorporate Needed Gear) or holding events like this reception!
Here are some photos from the museum:
    

A huge thanks to Michael Groover, the Vice-Chair & Master of Ceremonies, who worked very hard setting up all the displays, which definitely paid off.

It doesn’t end there because National Scout Families celebrities were also present!
These Guests of Honor include:
Ann Hornaday, granddaughter of William T. Hornaday, which the now Distinguished Service Conservation Award had been initially named after.
Charity Goodman, granddaughter of E. Urner Goodman, one of the founders of the Order of the Arrow.
Julia Seton, the granddaughter of Ernest Thompson Seton, donated 500 medals to start the History Award at NCAC.
Kellye French, Conservation Chairwoman and BSA trainer, donated a photo of the BSA Indie Car signed by its driver, Dale Coyne (As seen below).
