Bristol Scouting Grows with Troop Expansion and Camps
In the 1920s Bristol County saw rapid Scouting growth with three new troops in Bristol, Warren, and Barrington. The Herd honor society for first class scouts began in 1921, and Camp Takarest evolved into Camp King Phillip. Troops formed under St Joseph parish and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, with district rallies fueling competition and a Rhode Island merit badge booth at the Eastern States Exposition.
