Oral Histories From Former Boy Scouts
| Back
in the 1980's and 1990's several oral histories were
made of men who were former Boy Scouts in the 1920's
to 1940's. They were recorded on the old tape
cassettes, and stored for over 25 years in a storage
shed. Recently, we have rediscovered them, and
converted them into digital MP3 format, so they can
be listened to using today's media. Many of the recordings are from one to two hours in length, as men relived their younger days in the Boy Scouts. Some of the recordings are not as well made as others, but they all talked about what it was like to be a Boy Scouts back in those earlier days. So, here they are for your enjoyment. You may recognize some of the men. Be sure and have your computer sound turned on. Former Boy Scouts of the old
