This is the earliest mention of Boy Scouts in Hopedale that I’ve seen.
Thanks to Phyllis Foley and Matt Dykhoff for these pages from the original charter for Troop 1, Hopedale.
The Drapers were very much opposed to any New Deal programs. This is the only mention of any connection to one in Hopedale that I’ve seen. It was a minor one, and everybody is against mosquitoes, so evidently they were willing to put up with it.
