My current tenure as an adult
Scouter started in about 1985. I started in Tiger Cubs with my son, progressed through Den
helper, Assistant Webelos Den Leader, and finally to Scoutmaster for Troop 39 in
Cannon Falls, MN for 7 years or so. I recently retired from that position, remaining as
Troop Committee member. I am also serving as Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner, as well as
teaching various adult and scout leader sessions.
I began Scouting as a Boy Scout in Troop 93
(now Troop 55) in Spring Valley, Minnesota, and had the good fortune to begin scouting
under Scoutmaster Dave Moore. I became an Eagle Scout in 1964, was a member of the Order
of the Arrow, Blue Ox Lodge, and was on the staff of Camp Hok-Si-La in Lake City, MN. The
high point of my scouting memories was a 10-day canoe trip to Sommers Canoe Base and the
Boundary Waters in 1965, back before it had initials, or official status, and was
truly still a wilderness.
