Greetings Scouts & Scouters!
   I have been away from the echo for sometime. My name is Bruce Jolly, I am 
SysOp of TRUE GRIT BBS. A Family, Boy Scout, DeMolay & Masonic BBS, in 
Vancouver Washington.   1-360-737-8977, FidoNet 1:105/127.
   I am also a member of the Vancouver ELKS #823, who is the sponser of the 
BSA troop I am also the Scout Master of, which is BSA Trp 316, in the Cascade 
Pacific Council.
   316 has been chartered now by the ELKS for 67 years, and while that in 
it's self is not as long as many other troops, we have a impressive list on 
file of 154 EAGLE SCOUTS, from my troop, which we believe to be a record.
   To honor Scouting & Trp 316, the ELKS are creating a Scouting Museum, in 
our lodge. I am in dire need of the first 3 editions of the Boy Scout 
Manuals, as well as period uniforms, patches and other Scouting items to go 
in this worthwhile cause.
   I can buy or trade you for these items, and would also like to hear from 
our brothers & sisters outside the U.S.A. for items of Scouting from your 
countries. Donations of course gladly accpeted.  :-)
   If any of you could help me with this project, I would be in your debt, as 
would my lodge. You may contact me through this echo, or my BBS via the 
number & FidoNet address as listed.
   Thank you for your time, and may all your trails be happy ones.
                      Yours in Scouting,
                         Bruce Jolly
