Boy Scouts of America, 1910-2010

Rotating Gallery
Beginning March 18, the Midland County Historical Society celebrates the centennial of an organization that has impacted millions worldwide: The Boy Scouts of America.
A few short years after Lord Baden-Powell founded Boy Scouts in 1910, the organization had grown to hundreds of troops located around the world. Included in this number was Midland’s first Boy Scout troop, organized in 1913. Today there are dozens of troops in Midland County, continuing the Scouting tradition of solid values and community service.
Partnering with the Lake Huron Area Council of The Boy Scouts of America, MCHS presents an exhibit that displays local and regional scouting artifacts, describes the unique contributions of the local scouting movement, and highlights area scouts throughout time.
Please check back for details about related programs and opportunities planned in conjunction with this exhibit.
MCHS is seeking support for this special exhibit on a wide range of levels, including artifacts (donated or lent) and information, volunteers to assist in the exhibit’s creation, and financial support. If you are interested in helping with this fascinating project, please contact Gary Skory at 631-5930, ext. 1300.
Admission (includes access to all Heritage Park exhibits):
Adults: $5 | Children 4-14: $3 | Children under 3: free
Admission is FREE for MCHS members and Friends of the Center
