Bug History:

This travel bug was originally the top of a troop flag, which due to the ravages of time, eventually broke off.

Saved for many years, by a Scoutmaster as a memory of good times past. When he past, the piece came into my hands, and I felt the Scouting Spirit , and Goodwill coming from this piece. If you do a good turn, have fun outdoors on a camp out take a digital picture, and include this Travel Bug "Scout Spirit" in your report to this web site. This bugs mission is to spread the Positive aspects of scout spirit where ever it travels.
