Dear Ms. Chestnut,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 131 series, 5397 file units & 2296 items in various record groups that pertain to the Boy Scouts between the 1930s and 1970s. Please review the records and contact the reference unit listed in the description.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from various NARA reference units. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.
We also searched the internet and located A Guide to Archives and Manuscript Collections related to the Boy Scouts of America that includes Boy Scouts of America. Old Hickory Council Records that may pertain to your research.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
