      @@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In In the '60s at least, it was a Father-Son thing. Everyone got indian names-- example: my Dad's was "big oak" and mine was "little acorn" LOL! I remember going on at least one camping trip. Everyone got a headband and I think you could earn feathers for it kind of like merit badges, but I don't recall all that well-- it was a LONG time ago and we moved after about a year of it and didn't pick it up again after the move.

      ​@@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In i was around 10, i would characterize it as 'team-building' type stuff and some basic skill w socializing. i recall remembering everyone's "tribe" name, arts n craft type stuff and eventually a week at a campground, identifying things and wild scavenger hunt … typical 'boy stuff'. when we completed a task, instead of 'badges' like the scouts formerly known as boys, we got a different colored feather. it was less paramilitary than bsa and to this day, i'm not a 'joiner'. … good times.

      @@Syncopator greeting, little acorn, i am called running deer … or something … i don't completely recall, but yeah, there was the emphasis of father w son as opposed to some random troop leader taking your kid for a couple hours and the naming was big/little themed. we made balsa wood tomahawks.

    OMG! I went to *one* Indian Guides meeting with my father, and we left about 15 minutes later. This has long been a '70s curiosity for me.
