skeptic 993 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 There was a memorial service and burial today of a long time scouter who served on camp staff for about 30 years as range master. Also was a Marine that fought in the Pacific. His memorial required the LDS church facility to add extra space, and about a third were scouters. Some came from states away to honor him. At the cemetary, after the main service, we formed a scout circle around the casket on its stand and sang the Scout Vespers, the campfire tradition by the staff at its close at our local camp. A very moving tribute to a fine man. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LeCastor 641 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi, Skeptic. Thanks for the post. We, too, had a memorial service for a long-time Scouter two weeks ago and we also sang Scout Vespers. It was a great send-off. (I have to confess that I had trouble singing very much as I was fairly choked up by the gesture...) Link to post Share on other sites
