Walking stick made from a tree branch, with painted/carved inscriptions giving the names of Boy Scout troops and the dates of trips to different landmarks and locations (Thornhill Mountain, Claque/Clague Mountain, Hirsch Creek Falls, Douglas Channel, Squirrel Mountain). Grooves have been carved into the circumference every ~12 or so inches along the stick. Towards the tip, there is a diamond-like pattern of intersecting lines carved into the wood, followed by a series of 6 more circular grooves, each about 1 inch apart, at the very end. Many of the carvings have been painted green, and there is a reddish smear, possibly from paint, along one side of the tip of the stick. Also near the tip is a pencil drawing of a crown, above the words "Boy Scouts."
