'''I have created this community to bring attention to relatives of and/or any living members of the first boy scout band that was formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was formed by my grandfather in 1911 and his name was William Thomas Jones. He was an insurance company executive in Tulsa and was the scout master of Tulsa's B.S.A. Troop 10. Will was a self taught trombonist who also taught all of the brass instruments to members of troop 10 and other troops in Tulsa. There were enough musicians collectively between all the Tulsa troops to form the very first boy scout band in the world. They were invited to perform and march by Woodrow Wilson in at his presidential inaugural parade on March 3rd, 2013 and they accepted the invitation. I am hoping to stir some interest and hopefully find more info, pictures etc to help memorialize both my grandfather and the members of the band who made this happen.'''
