| Last update: Scouts Used Book Store, October 28, 2024 |
My name is Alf Silke and I live in the "big city" of Yellowknife in Canada's Great White North, the Northwest Territories. Some of you know me as "scouteralf", a name which I chose as my internet handle because that's how the Scouts say it, all one word.
Besides being Bagheera for the 1st Yellowknife Cub Pack, I also wear the hat of Assistant Provincial Commissioner for Cubs for the NWT and Nunavut Scout Council as well as the Manager of the Scouts Used Book Store. I became interested in the History of Scouting in the NWT as a direct offshoot of my curiosity about the story behind some of the badges I was running across in my collecting. In October of 1999, when I asked Council's permission for access to the old records, they promptly added Council Historian to my job title. Although my active involvement in Scouting ended in 2007, I have tried to maintain contact with local Scouters to keep abreast of what's happening..
Follow the links embedded in the images at the top of the page to get to the various sections of my website.
The Inventory of NWT Scouting Artifacts is as complete as it's going to be without your help. If you know of anything else out there that should be listed, please let me know. If you can supply a scan or photo of any of the items, it would be greatly appreciated.
I will add to the History of Scouting in the NWT and Scouting in the Communities as I feel happy with their content. Input from those of you who may have attended the events will be greatly appreciated. Get in touch with me and tell me your story.
I hope that you find what I have up right now interesting and enjoyable. Bookmark and come back often.
