Cool find Ken!!! I still have my CCM from childhood...just not the 38 model, more like 72. I see the brake lever is the same! Mine had a Banana seat and sissy bar. Looks like the cat is waiting for a turn.
Nice bike, great find. Good that it is a boy's bike (girl's bikes are much more common survivors in good shape).
The Boy Scouts affiliation makes it a nice crossover collectible.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I don't know the back story on it but it is pretty safe to assume it spent of lot of years tucked away in a garage instead of being ridden to death like most of my bikes.
There must be a story there, probably related to the war I would guess.
It is a 1937 by the way as my wife has corrected me.
Turns out the Scouts Canada National Museum in Ottawa wants it real bad so that is where it is likely going to end up!
We just have to get it there so I told my wife to start pedaling as soon as the snow lets up!
Good stuff! I recently donated a piece to the Kingston Penitentiary Museum. I like finding the perfect home for items!

Sounds like you collect even weirder stuff than me! What was it, an electric chair!?
