Here's scouting as it was presented a few generations back... in more innocent (or merely more ignorant?) times. "MEN WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE" is from 1962, a time that still had the flavor of the 50s. We learn about the idealistic scout leaders who mold young minds and all that scouting means. The same can be seen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFr5gFlXDO8 in full color; this print is pretty red. "...A LOT MOR...E THAN YOU THINK" (a film by Rift Fournier and Dean Crebbin) brings us into the hip late 60s; the with-it soundtrack and longer haircuts show that Boy Scouts of America is moving with the times. Programs are tailored for different communities: 'Street corner scouting' for inner city, 'In-school scouting' for rural areas etc. This shows somewhat more color. "CAMPTIME, ANYTIME" from 1959 showcases Girl Scouts and their devotion to the Great Outdoors. 800' reel So there you have all three, for a glimpse of boy and girl scouting from long ago through rose-tinted color shift. A green filter can balance that out somewhat, though not restore lost tones. "MEN WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE" and "...A LOT MORE THAN YOU THINK" are on 1200' reels; "CAMPTIME, ANYTIME" is on an 800-footer. Just reels, no cans. Free Media Mail shipping for US buyers.
