The first six pages of the oldest manual of Mrs. Pine’s is literally just pictures of ribs. Mega weird right? I cut those down a bit so you didn’t get confused

Rib Scout Pledge
““I promise to never waste the sauce – of life or of ribs. To always savor the flavor down to the bone. I pledge to help my fellow scouts, to be a supporting rib in my Rack. Together we make the whole cage. Community is my mission. Ribs are my guide. May Rib Scouts make life more delicious, I pledge on my marrow.””
Bulletin #01 Eva Emmerson
Haley Anderson is a bit of a difficult topic *cough* nut-job *cough*. She’s the younger sister of the founder of Rib Scouts – the nearly god-like-figure Adam Anderson. There’s a bunch of documentation on Mrs. Anderson in one of these boxes but it’s buried under – and I’m not kidding – an entire pallet of Rib Scout advertising. Here’s a scan of the glorious wacky stuff people were buying in the 50’s!
The pledge is mostly unchanged. Back in the 50’s it had a bit of “ – Together we make the whole cage, under God.” but that got nixed after the protests in the 60’s. Oh America, never change.
