(Bill) Gliss-meyer's Gliss-meyer's idea to reunite the troop or as many of them as he could possibly find to see the film of the trip they took through southern Utah and into northern Arizona. "I was able to locate a dozen of the nearly 30 scouts and scout leaders lead-ers who made the trip and invited them into my home to reminisce about the weeklong bus journey and to commemorate Bov Scout Week," said Mr. Glissmeyer. The 26 scouts and their leaders represented Troop 119 of the Bountiful Third Ward. Scoutmaster Scoutmas-ter was Arnold Lund and the bus driver was Henry Hansen.
