On July 20, 1969, Eagle Scout Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, a Ternderfoot Scout, became the first men to walk on the surface of the Moon. In the next two and one-half years, ten other astronauts would also walk on the Moon. Nine of them were former Scouts. As part of the 25th Anniversary of Apollo 11, the 1994 Limited Edition Council strip, authorized by the Tennessee Valley Council Camping Committee, commemorates the six Moon landing missions and the efforts of Scouters in the Tennessee Valley who contributed to the design, development and testing of the Saturn V launch vehicles which placed the Apollo spacecraft into orbit. This full-sized, eight color strip depicts one of the lunar landing scenes.

This issue sold out in May of 1997. The price for each strip was $10.00. All revenue from the sale of these strips was used for capital improvements of our council camps. No money was used for salary or overhead expenses or transferred to other areas. The total production run was 500 strips.
