The Boy Scouts of America: Helping Our Country in Time of Need Poster Text
To save some time, I have used an Image OCR tool to grab the text from the poster. Unfortunately, it has caused most of the text to be uppercase, unless I needed to make edits for clarity or to fix mistakes made by the OCR software. Please excuse the capital letters. If you are looking to help us out, please retype this with the correct capitalization and send it to the WSM Museum Curator at wsmwvcurator@gmail.com
