H. Roe Bartle

Harold Roe Bennett Strudevant Bartle (June 25, 1901 - May 9, 1974)

Mic-O-Say

He created the Tribe of Mic-O-Say honor society in Saint Joseph, Missouri in 1925 when he became their council executive and created a second Tribe in Kansas City in 1929 after he transferred there. It is believed that Bartle arrived in Missouri in 1925 with the basics of Mic-O-Say in place. There was an existing society in St. Joseph named Manhawka that Bartle incorporated into Mic-O-Say. Kansas City's current Scout reservation is named after Chief Bartle. The two Scout reservations in St. Joseph and Kansas City are said to have the highest retention of older scouts returning each year of any reservations or camps in the country. The Tribe of Mic-O-Say is given much credit for this.
