I happen to own four filmstrips used by our council in the 1980&#8217;s. The council was going to throw them in the trash until I said I would take them. I am not really sure why I took them. I do not have a filmstrip projector, nor do I know of anyone who owns one, other than maybe the school. They have been stored with other old Scouting memorabilia in box in my basement.<\/p>\n<p>When I decided to take a picture of them for this article it was the first time in years that they have even been out of the box. I was surprised to see that they are still in excellent condition. It almost makes me want to find a projector to view them again.<\/p>\n<p>The four filmstrips that are part of my Scouting collection are:<br \/>\nHow To Select A Scoutmaster.<br \/>\nBoy Scout Orientation.<br \/>\nUnit Organization.<br \/>\nHow Much Is It Worth?<br \/>\nAll four were created by the Boy Scouts of America Audiovisual Service. Unfortunately, I do not have the scripts or audio tapes that were used with them.<\/p>\n<p>I am curious.
