SHOUT-OUT TO UNCLE ED AT CAMP GREENOUGH!

Troop 25 recently visited Camp Greenough. By our camp site we noticed an interesting wood craft building. We briefly stopped and visited with a gentleman who has been involved in scouting for over 75 years! He went simply by the name Uncle Ed.

As a master carpenter, Uncle Ed became involved in teaching woodcraft to Scouts in his retirement. There were no store bought wood crafts in his shop. He goes home and makes amazing kits for the boys to put together during camp. He usually teaches a dozen children at a time. When we met him he was there in the early morning hours expanding a table to fit more kids on.

The program is a complete success, and Uncle Ed has helped recreate this success at other camps, including one in Canada! Scouting is made up of many amazing leaders that quietly give their time and talents. We are so grateful to have these unsung leaders in scouting!
