The information and images found in these pages comes from a number of sources including the author's own collection.  If you are looking for additional information on any of the fairs or on the memorabilia itself, you might try the following sources that I have used:

Scouting Memorabilia

Web Resources

The Scout Patch Auction - Roy More

Scouting Collectibles - Mac Williams

Thanks to Maurice Guibord [ mguibord@direct.ca ] for images of a number of the Expo67 items.

Thanks to Rick (Cubmas227@aol.com) for the great images of the 1939 and 1940 Service Camp ID cards.

Thanks to Andy Dubill (ADUBILL@aol.com) for image of green pocket patch for the Expo67 page.

I was fortunate recently to obtain a complete binder of source materials on this topic on loan from Roy Woods, a long time collector in this area and member of my council.  I am in the process of going through this massive amount of material, and adding the information to the site little by little as time allows.   I would like to express my thanks to Roy and acknowledge his contribution.
