63rd Annual Merion Scout Fair. A Lower Merion tradition since 1950's, the Merion Scout Fair is held on the grounds of a place you may have only been to for a wedding or bar mitzvah. But the Merion Scout House, just behind the Merion Tribute House, was in fact donated to the Merion Boy Scouts by Eldridge Reeves Johnson (co-creator of the Victor Talking Machine Co.) in 1917, the year the Boy Scouts of America was recognized by Congress. The “Merion Liberty Troop,” as it was known back then, was an original troop within the Boy Scouts, founded in 1910. On Saturday, 102 years later, the grounds of the Merion Tribute House will be filled with classic carnival games, prizes, food and a live and silent auction. The Merion Cub Scout Pack 71 and Merion Liberty Troop, who take pride in the amount of community service they give to Lower Merion every year, is evidently very good at raising money—many years ago, a group of their predecessors raised $1.4 million in Liberty War Bonds for WWI.
When: Saturday May 19th Noon-4PM
Where: Merion Tribute House Grounds, 625 Hazelhurst Avenue, Merion Station, PA
