The Mic-O-Say 2012 Tribal Celebration Auction

This year's Tribal Celebration will be held at the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation from June 1-3, 2012.

We will host another great Tribal Silent Auction again this year. It will be held in the Great Hall on Saturday, June 2nd at the Bartle Scout Reservation starting at 10am. There were over 250 items in the auction last year and all the proceeds (over $5000 last year and over $25,000 for the past five years) went to the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.

Chieftain Laughing Cedar (David Allen) and Medicine Man Painted Elk (Dave Woodman) are shown here fighting over an old drum made from a large salad bowl years ago.

It finally sold for $275.00 and the winning bidder took a wonderful item home with him!

For the last several years the auction has grown in size and raised funds that go to the Tribe of Mic-O-Say to reduce expenses on the reservation.

Thank you for your support of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say through your self denial contributions and our auction.

If you have items (Scout memorabilia, old uniforms, books on Indian Lore, or any item that you would like to donate to your Tribal auction--please call the HOAC camping office at (816) 569-4933 to donate your item. Items do not have to be Scouting oriented--so please look for an item or two that you no longer need to donate.

IN THE WOODS

If you wish to purchase a copy of "IN THE WOODS", the history of camping in our council, call the HOAC Camping & Program Services Office at (816) 569-4933. This 210 page coffee table book is a limited edition history of all the camps in our council from 1910 through today. It is loaded with historic pictures and interesting stories about all of our camps.

Only 1,500 copies of this book were printed. It is a great gift for Scouts, Scouters, friends, etc. Several have been purchased by Scouts and donated to school or public libraries. Once sold the book will not be reprinted-so purchase one before they are gone.

The price is only $29.95 and all proceeds go the Camp Staff Alumni Association for camp staff scholarships. Bring your copy to the Tribal Celebration and I will be happy to sign it in the Great Hall during the auction on Saturday.

If you know of old pictures, patches, sashes, or other accumulations of Scouting material, please email me and let me know.

You will help us put on an even more complete display in 2029 -- the 100th Anniversary of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.

Just press on the thumbnail image and a larger image will pop up for viewing.

I get so many requests for the words to our camp song "The Hills of Osceola" that I have added the words below.
