Joe Wycoff note
| Origin | Winter Camp V (1981) |
| The Story | At Winter Camp IV, we had some hastily prepared currency with largely irrational values, like 1 gold piece or 1 soul. For Winter Camp V, there was more time and the notes were more rational, based largely on US Currency. The notes, created by Dan Bollman, featured the liknesses of various famous Scouters and symbols. Jeff Rand, using his power as the Associate District Executive, arranged for the notes to be copied by the Council printing office who generated about $55,000 in currency on green paper. One of the sheets came back with a personal note from then Council Exec and model for the $5 note, Joe Wycoff. It was addressed to Jeff's boss, Lou Salute, and said simply "An interesting gimmick" and was signed by Joe himself. The note remains in the museum to this day. |
| Veracity | True and we have the note as proof. |
