Are they still a popular organisation with young boys?
I just love colonial spanish style and I've seen some amazing buildings in Central and South America. However it's a shame spanish have used the stones of the already existing constructions in the cities they destroyed!...
Gladly this is not the case! :-)))
I did not know that this was the BSA's home.
I visited this building every month when I was a Cub Scoutmaster, as I had to pick up the patches and awards that each boy had earned to be awarded at the Pack meetings each month.
Sharon, not to be a stickler, but this is technically not a building of the Boy Scouts of America, but of the local council that operates the Boy Scouts in Arizona, which of course is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America.
Oops! I guessed wrong!
Lovely building...there's the fountain!!
80 years of service! Wow! Nice way to honor that accomplishment.
Curioso y muy bonito.
Nice looking place.
