A Scouter Who Really Loved Scouting

[Kahuna 172]

With all the negativity found elsewhere in this forum, I thought it might be enlightening to quote what "Kimo" Wilder, Chief Seascout, wrote at the end of one of his summer Seascoutcamp sessions. He traveled every year at his own expense to the East Coast of the U.S. Took about 14 days from Hawai'i in the early twenties. He taught, sailed and led activities. He was at this time in his fifties.

 

In his log, at the end of one session he wrote this addendum:

 

Boys begin to go at about eleven. This is quite sad. At least ten of them thank mefor what? I thank them . . . Very sad . . .I have a lump. . . Raining! All over!
