BSA Troop 122A history in photos of Boy Scout Troop 122 of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Initial contents are primarily Charles Mader's pictures. Dr. Mader was Scoutmaster of Troop 122 from 1974 to 1983. Help in categorizing the pictures is requested. Please email Keith at VirtualSherwoods dot com with When, Where, and Who for the pictures. |
Here is a description of people and activities that shed light on the pictures (and which I should have consulted before posing my questions and hazarding my guesses on the thumbnail pages).
