Hsinchu military boys could join Boy Scout Troop 97 and Cub Scout Pack 97. Photo ca. 1958. There were Girl Scouts and Brownies for the Girls too. Wonder how the uniforms have changed from those of the 1950’s? Notice the button pockets on Paul Sands’ uniform. That’s a pretty sharp looking uniform Paul is wearing. Paul must have injured his left ring finger, judging by the band aid. People: Cub Scouts in front-row, left to right: Brian Boyle, Brian Rayle who is not in uniform, Anderson ? and Norman Stevens or Stevenson? Boy Scouts back row, left to right: Bruce Rayle, Jim Dress, Bill Mundt and Paul Sands. |

On top of Shih-Pa-Chien-Shan Mountain Photograph circa January 1959. MAAG folks knew this spot as Eighteen Fairies Mountain, the fairies supposedly being small statues. Today it is translated as Eighteen Peaks Mountain. To the north in the background is Hsinchu and behind the camera is a masonry gazebo. One of the scouts this morning was going for the Signaling Merit Badge, hence the “wig wags.” The mountain had a tunnel or two and a concrete pillbox which seemed to be part of WWII Japanese defenses. People left to right: Bruce Rayle, Bill Mundt and Jim Dress.
