Boy Rangers of America Membership Pin |
Founder: Emerson Brooks |
Before the Cub Scouting program began Emerson Brooks founded the Boy Rangers of America program to provide a group activity for boys too young for the Boy Scouts. Heavy emphasis was placed on Native American lore, ceremonial costumes, handicrafts and citizenship programs. Boys were strongly encouraged to sign an Anti-Cigarette League Boy Rangers of America Pledge, stating that they would not use tobacco until they were at least 16. Boys learned the Ranger War Whoop, Yells and Hails. There was a special salute and secret grip when giving a handshake. Program had summer & winter uniforms and Indian costumes.
