I did not know the Osage Trail was part of the Santa Fe Trail, but it makes sense. There were no buffalo in Jackson County and the other areas of Missouri where the Osage were originally located so they made three or four annual trips to western Kansas to get fresh meat. The Osage had already found the path of least resistance and the white man followed it with the Santa Fe Trail.

The Osage were moved from Missouri to Kanzas and then later restricted to an area along the southern Kansas border. The Osage Trail that I know was from the tip of southeast Kansas going slightly northwest to the same buffalo hunting grounds in western Kansas. Where I am from in that part of the state, the tribe was known to have carved a huge trail (most of the tribe participated) to western Kansas and when I was young old timers said that parts of it can still be seen. I haven't seen it, though. The Osage lived in long lodges rather than teepees but they did have teepees that they carried with them to western Kansas, set up camp, killed buffalo, and then went back to southeast Kansas. From along the southern Kansas border the tribe was moved to Oklahoma into Osage County where their reservation still exists.

The Osage came to Missouri as a result of being run out of the Ohio Valley in the 15th or 16 century by other tribes.

According to Pearl Wilcox, in August 1910 a man by the name of W. O. Hands of Independence organized the first Boy Scout troop west of the the Mississippi River and it was only the seventh troop established in the country up to that time.

No word as to whether they had to accept certain types of people.

According to the internet, the Boy Scouts were established in January 1910 in the US.

Cub Scouting came along in 1930.

According to Pearl Wilcox:

The Missouri legislature established laws regulating automobiles in 1903.

In 1906, traffic was a problem in Independence, particularly speeding of 25-30 miles per hour. These cars were mostly driven by Kansas City residents.

The Independence city council set a maximum speed of six miles per hour with a fine of $50 per violation. That is equivalent to $1200, today.

The six mph speed limit was soon changed to twelve mph.

Independence first started taxing automobiles in 1910.

The first delivery of mail by car by the Independence post office was in 1909.

The first car purchased for use by Jackson County was a 1909 Chalmers Detroit 30, which cost $1,780, or about $43,000, today. The car was used by the county surveyor.

A 1910 Chalmers Detroit 30.

The parking lot in the foreground of Pearas' Instagram photo is or I should say was the location for the old post office unless I'm mistaken. Please correct me if I am wrong.
