Information: Dodge A100 Van Cub Scout Troop NL1000 has what looks to be either the Boy Scouts or Webelos Scouts. Either way, car companies used to use Scouts in ad's probably because they symbolize good things :)

The mission of our "Cub Scout Time Capsule" is to find pictures of vintage Cub Scout items that were sold years ago and place them in our virtual online capsule for all to see. We also look for those classic magazine ads using Cub Scouts. We also want to provide detailed information about each item if possible. It was the Golden Era of Scouts when companies used Scouts in ads to sell their products. We try to preserve those images here at our "Cub Scouts Time Capsule"
Boy Scouts. WEBELOS did not come along as a component of Cub Scouting until 1967...you can tell these are Boy Scouts by their uniform... all Cub Scouts wore blue uniforms until the middle 80s.
