Soldier Boy Scout

Our Boy Scout troop took a trip to the old NC capitol building and the history museum Saturday. This boy is one of the scouts younger brothers, who will cross over to Boy Scouts from Cub Scouts in a few months. Fitting that the Boy Scouts all wanted to get their picture taken here, as Boy Scouts was originally started to teach young boys soldiering skills.
this is sort of creepy since they actually were mostly kids...

I hope there's a cut-out in the wall there and he's poked his head through! I did not know that the Scouts were originally concerned with soldiering skills. I thought it was orienteering. The museum looks like it has a lot of great interactive displays.

@olivetreeann Yes, Lord Baden-Powel wrote a book on military scouting, then re-wrote it to teach the skills to youth. He started Boy Scouts in 1910.
