Now for another variant.

Gordy posted a picture of the free Golden Scout kits given out by Vern and Gleda (and Semroc) at NARAM 50. It was a truly wonderful gesture.

The idea for the Golden Scouts came from The Rocket Doctor (Ken M.) and was put into reality by Carl, Sheryl, and Bruce at Semroc. All six of these people deserve a very special thanks for creating such a fitting tribute to the 50th anniversary of the NAR and Estes.

But Vern and Gleda took it one step further. Each year for the Cannon Educational Fund of the NAR they donate something special to be auctioned at NARAM. For NARAM 50 Vern and Gleda recreated four Scout kits with hand-rolled body tubes, just like the original ones they had made 50 years ago. To add special significance to these kits Gleda and Vern each signed the paper before it was rolled into tubes so their signatures would appear inside the tubes.

You can see their signatures inside the tubes in the pics below. A very special donation by two very special people.
