Boy Scouts celebrate 75th year
By JEANINE HOWE Staff Reporter
Former President Gerald Ford, baseball player Hank Aaron, actor Jimmy Stewart and several KU professors and students have it in common.
They were all active in the Boy Scouts of America, an organization that many sons and fathers have participated in through the years.
The Boy Scouts of America celebrates its 75th anniversary this month.
Looking back at his Boy Scout days, Kip Elliott, Hutchinson senior, said, "It was worthwhile. It is something I'm proud of."
Elliott spent seven years in the organization, progressing from a Cub Scout to an Eagle Scout.
"We learned about leadership and the chain of command, besides the mercy," he said.
SCOTT WILLIAMS, Topeka senior,
said most of his family had been
involved in Boy Scouts. He, his father
and older brother were in the group
together for four years.
"It was neat going on trips together," Williams said. "We had a lot of fun."
Tom Terry, Kansas City, Mo.
senior, was active in Boy Scouts for
five years. He and his three older
brothers were Eagle Scouts, he said.
"We had a good sized troop, about 60," he said. "We would go camping once a month."
Gary Mason, associate professor of journalism, is cubmaster for a cub scout group in Baldwin. He said he became involved in Boy Scouts when his son joined 12 years ago. He said the group helped promote a closer relationship between fathers and sons.
HE SPENDS about 12 hours a month with the group, he said. In the summer, he spends more time with his friends and takes several overnight camping trips.
"It is wonderful," he said. "I really enjoy working with young people. All the kids are wonderful. I never had a young man I wasn't proud of."
Robert Jerry, associate professor of law, has been active in Boy Scouts for many years. He started as a Cub Scout at the age of seven, worked at it
Jerry said he had fun as a scout.
camp for five years while in college and now helps advise students in the organization.
"I enjoyed the outdoor experience, camps and hiking, and learning in the outdoors," she told me. We learned what it means to do community service."
He said he wanted to dedicate some of his time to young people because he appreciated the adults who had helped him in Boy Scouts when he was younger.
The Douglas County Boy Scouts of America has 900 members and 300 registered volunteers.
Larry Geiger, Lawrence district scouting executive, said the local scouts had two events planned for the 75th anniversary. A scout show will be held March 30 in downtown Lawrence.
Geiger said the scouts would also have a camp-out on April 27 in conjunction with the centennial duration at Haskell Indian Junior College.
