Early Boy Scouts in Utah

Ragtown February 24, 1911, East Garfield March 11
I do not know whether these were separate units or were just meeting in different places.
Click Here to hear a RealAudio recording of Rev. M.W. Rice telling about starting his Boy Scout Troop in Utah.
This is the first RealAudio recording I have attempted. The quality of the original recording wasn't good and this copy is worse, plus my computer didn't have enough memory to record more than a few minutes of the story. My grandfather was nearly 100 yrs. old when this was recorded. Ted Rice, Jan. 2000

I can't put names with any of these photos except the last, as they are unlabeled. Where there was some specific information I have noted it.
