"I collected these books for well over a decade as a teen and young adult," said Dr. Stout, "but I really haven't done much with them in the last 20 years. As a CSUF Alumni, I am delighted that my collection will now be available to benefit so many more people!" In coordinating the donation Lisa A. Mix, Director, University Archives & Special Collections at Pollak Library said, "There is already a student interested in using them to research the history of scouting." Megan Graewingholt, Liaison Librarian for American Studies at Pollak Library added, "There is definitely a scholarly conversation around the Boy Scouts, particularly regarding gender roles, soldiering, and masculinity/manhood since the start of the 20th century."
