Chariot
The Troop 113 Chariot was built in 1969 and was used at most of the LaCroix District Spring Expo chariot races until LaCroix ceased to exist after redistricting. It has been loaned to the North Star Museum of Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting with the understanding that if we are challenged to a race we might need it back.LaCroix District Expo chariot race.pdf Some memories from the 80's
1969 Chariot and Adults
Rick Parent provided the following information:
The adults in the picture are from front going clockwise are: Ray Parent-committee member, Donald Mondor-committee member, Gene Dickenson-Scoutmaster, Marv Simon-committee chair (riding chariot) and Bob Olson-assistant scoutmaster.
The chariot was built around 1967 with materials and assistance of Troop 113 scout fathers working at Andersen Corp. The graphics were created by Craig Parent-Senior Patrol Leader. The chariot was built to compete at the yearly LaCroix District Fall Camporee. It was a state of the art chariot at that time and took first place as long as I was active. "We had very fast horses"
