Oldest and only known stationary from the Council that says Crescent Bay DISTRICT Council. This letter also contains the only known signature of D. Scott Field, the Council's first assistant Scout Executive. Field was from Inglewood, CA. He led the move that split Inglewood, Redondo Beach and other beach communities into their own Council in July, 1925.
This letter is also significant in that it is the only mention of Crescent Bay's involvement with the Round-the-World flyers circumnavigation in planes built by Donald Douglas Sr. |
