Troop and Pack 40, Commissioner, Ship 1791

“I was on staff in the 1990’s, I took a 25 year hiatus from boy scouts. Joined the army, had a family, my son got to be scout age and wasn’t interested so that time passed. Once he was 18 and out of the house I decided it was time to start scouting in my town again. About that time I got an email from Lone Tree Spirit foundation inviting me to one of their get togethers and when I showed up the camp director found out I was on staff in the 90’s and invited me back on staff. So I became the archery director again so definitely a home away from home. As a young man I spent 4 full summers here at LoneTree, as a camper, CIT, Eagle Week, Brownsea Island training. All here at Lone Tree so it definitely has a very special place in my heart and I’m glad to come back whenever we can.”

“Lone Tree is embedded in my blood. I’ve been coming here since I was 8 or younger. Cub Scouts with my grandparents and parents. I came here for years and years. Basically a piece of me now. I hope my kids want to come here, I try to show them all the excitement, bring them here, show them what service projects are all about and helping other people. Trying to do your turn, you know the good turn daily. The fires at the end of every scout week you see what the unity is all about. That ambiance sticks with you for the long haul.”
