Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Scouts BSA in the Miami Valley

Members of the Miami Valley Council of Scouts BSA gathered to camp on the shores of the Mad River in Ohio to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting in the Miami Valley. 

Despite the inclement weather, these young men and women proved that they were "prepared" for the elements. Our very own Bryan Waid was among the 1500 young people and adult leaders who spent the weekend at camp learning about principles of flight, rock climbing, kayaking, and crossing rope bridges.

A Grateful Nation

“Without Jacks, They Were Sitting Ducks”

The time was 1941. It was a much different time, but Joyce was there to help when duty called. And the nation called for jacks.

Joyce supported the allied efforts by designing and producing a wide variety of jacks. While typically behind the scenes and unnoticed, their contributions were vital.

Take a look back at the many roles that Joyce jacks played in World War II.
