United States Boy Scout History: 1913


Figure 1.-- We note a wide range of publicity efforts to acquaint the public with the growing movement. We note one troop with an exhibit at the Ohio State Fair. It looks like a rustic building made of logs and timbers. We are not sure what kind of activities were conducted for the public. Not all of the participating boys had uniforms yet. They managed to attract note other than Buffalo Bill Cody looking evry bit of the part from his Wild West shows. We do not know of any official relationship between the Scouts and Cody. Of course Cody began his fabeled career as an Army Scout. There was, as a result, a certain affinity. He passed away a few years after this appearance.
