TROOP ONE AND SCOUTING HISTORY Troop has the proud heritage of serving area youth since 1911. The section contains an unique collection of videos related to the history of Scouting in southern Indiana. Tunnel Mill 1929 During the second year of the camping season at the new Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation, Charles Hertzch had a documentary film commissioned that showed the activities at the scout camp. This film was used for promotional purposes. It shows the daily activities at Tunnel Mill. It is an unique look at the scouting in the 1920's. It is one of the earliest known films of Scouting in America. Thanks go to Dr. Joseph Buchman who helped to preserve and to restore this rare film. Joe has remained active in Boy Scouting since his days as a camp staff member and Order of the Arrow lodge chief at Tunnel Mill. He and his family currently reside in Park City, Utah.
