I have three boys, one who is a Boy Scout, one who is a Cub Scout and one who is almost old enough to join Scouts, so that means I have Scout memorabilia all over my house. Granted, it's not as old as some of the items on this list, but fun all the same. Were you ever a Girl Scout or Boy Scout? If so, you are going to get a kick out of this Scout memorabilia. Let me know what memories they bring back for you.
