Regalia and Tokens
Our Roots: 1979-1982
- TLD, Silver Bars, and TLTC: The CAC White Stag Evolution - These are what I consider priceless historic artifacts of the very roots and earliest evolution of the White Stag program in the Crossroads of America Council. Troop Leader Development (TLD) dates to 1979, Silver Bars to 1980, and White Stag TLTC to 1982 with that oh-so familiar patch we all know and love. Herein we also see Mike's staff certificate from Silver Bars in '80, dated June 28, 1980. The certificate appears to include the names and positions of the entire staff (from which I can build a roster), and Ramsey Park? As in Ramsey Park in the 300 block of W 42nd Street in Indianapolis? We definitely need to learn more about this! By '82, its clear that White Stag TLTC had moved to Camp Red Wing as evidenced by the emblem we all know and love on Mike's '82 plaque. This stuff is just fantastic. Courtesy Mike Boebinger.
- TLD, Silver Bars, and TLTC: The CAC White Stag Evolution - More priceless TLD, Silver Bars, and TLTC course-worn items. Here we can see that by 1980, the troop numeral began with the last two digits of the year, a tradition that would be carried forward until the end. The missing numeral on the right should be 2, for Troop 821, White Stag TLTC, in 1982. The staff position "P/C" stands for Patrol Councelor (spelling intentional) and is generally analagous to a Troop Guide. Courtesy Mike Boebinger.
- 1980 Silver Bars Staff Bolo - Handmade for Mike Boebinger by Rex Hatch. Per Mike, Rex made a unique bolo representing each individual staff member. Courtesy Mike Boebinger.
- 1982 White Stag TLTC Staff Bolo - Courtesy Mike Boebinger.
