Welcome to our special section, prepared by author and Eagle Scout Mark Ray and the editors and designers of Scouting magazine. These pages guarantee a fascinating look back at some great moments in Scouting's history.

Special Events
Scouting always has had its share of big events like the monumental ArrowCorps5 conservation project in 2008. We'll show you other historic occasions where Scouts came through when it counted.
Scout Stuff
Remember when you sewed merit badges onto a coat sleeve, or when your Cub Scout flashlight looked like a PEZ dispenser, or when you could share adventures with your personal Scouting action figures? See the fun gear, gadgets, and more.
