In February of 1939 in honor of National Boy Scout Week, (l-r) David Rees, Troop 21, Frank Taylor, Troop 99, and Jim Myers, Troop 59, were busy learning map making. Over 2,200 Tacoma scouts representing Boys Scouts, Sea Scouts and Cub Scouts gathered over the weekend to share knowledge and celebrate the Scout event. Boy Scouting was established in America in 1910. President Woodrow Wilson declared the first National Boy Scout Week in 1919, in recognition of the Scout's service during the first World War. (T.
