    Rare vintage c1960s authentic
    Horace A. Moses Scout Reservation Pioneer Valley (MA) Council
    Boy Scouts troop leader pith helmet with Horace A. Moses Scout Reservation Pioneer Valley decal emblazoned on the front of the helmet.  Safari/fire helmet style.  Vintage helmet made of rigid cardboard.  Helmet fits adult man.  Horace A. Moses Scout Reservation began in 1945 and the Pioneer Valley Council officially began with the merging of 3 previous councils in 1961 and is located in Russell, MA on a 1300+ acre preserve.
    In 1945, Horace A. Moses, businessman (founder Strathmore Paper), model farmer, civic leader (Jr. Achievement founder), and philanthropist sold, at a reduced price, his beloved dairy farm/apple orchard and weekend retreat in Russell, MA to the then Hampden Council Boy Scouts of America. A condition of the sale was that the property would be named after him. Today the property is a 1300 acre facility dedicated to the ideals of Scouting; the development of character through youth leadership, physical and mental fitness of youth, and the encouragement of good citizenship with civic involvement. Serving the youth of the four Western Mass counties, thousands of Scouts have gone on to succeed and prosper after their time within this camp. With the first season in 1946, 2020 marks the 75
    th
    anniversary of Scouting at this location.
    Very fragile and hard to come buy an actual vintage Boy Scouts helmet!  In Good condition considering rarity.  Exhibits chips, dings and one piece lacking on the brim.  Retains inner straps and band and still fully functional and ready to wear or display proudly.  Internal strap adjustable so one size fits all.
    Helmet measures 14” x 11 1/2” x 7” tall.
