Scouting in Iowa has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live. ==Early history (1910-1950)== Boy Scouts began in Jewell, IA due to the generosity of Mrs. Carrie A. Strong. Mrs. Strong had resided in Jewell and moved to California, but due to her interest in the town even after relocation, she gave the town of Jewell its first step in Scouting. In 1916 Mrs. Strong came back to Jewell for her annual visit went before the City Fathers to tell them that she would provide the fund to buy and build a Scout House on, and give $1000.00 to construct a building suitable for The Scout program. A parcel of land was bought from H. K. and Christian Gronbeck on Octobera feed" 14, 1916, for the sum of $840.00. The building was let to Peterson Builders for The Scout House 240by 48 feet and 12 foot high. The completed cost for the building was 935.00. The First Scout Master was Reverend Norstad, and is assistants were professors from the then Jewell College. F. H. Ferbitz became Scout Master in October of 1923 with 28 Scouts under his leadership. At that time they formed 3 patrols: Eagles, Owl and Crow. Cameron Severson was scribe and Howard Robson was treasurer and wrote newspaper articles. A Fife and Drum Corp was also started at that time and the grounds were cleaned and the building painted. A Basketball League was formed which consisted of four teams. After the Basketball games the boys would have what they referred to as " a feed". These feeds were paid for by the continued contributions of Mrs. Strong up to the time of her death November 27 1923. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scouting in Iowa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
