Description:
|
|
The Little Booneheads is a organisation (seems to be for boys only) of the same type as The Junior Woodchucks. Don Rosa says "The name is used simply to create a small joke in that it sounds like "BONEheads" this is the group that Donald said he belonged to, and which was not as classy as the Woodchucks. |

History:
Nothing much is known about the history of The Little Booneheads. All we can say for certain is that the organisation is named after Daniel Boone a hunter and pioneer who opened the wilderness in Kentucky for colonization in the 1770s. The Little Booneheads organisation must have been founded before 1930 because Donald Duck says he was a member in his boyhood.
Don Rosa has mentioned "The Little Booneheads" in Mythological Menagerie from 1986.
