Epilogue

 

We spent the two and a half weeks since this tragedy helping the families to heal, to help the troop and friends find a way to grieve and remember our lost Scout, and to find a way to move forward. It has not been easy. We have a support network in place to help the families over the summer as they attempt to get back to a sense of normalcy. We've raised over 30k for a scholarship fund in the Scout's name to help others. The unit is coming up with a way to remember him on our uniform, and they have created a few other things in his honor which will become part of our unit's lore. We have also met with district and council to review the insurance and other programs in place which can benefit the families. Lastly, our council has asked our unit leadership to develop an action plan other unit's can use should they be faced with a similar situation.

 

I hope you all can enjoy your time in Scouting without ever having to deal with such a monumental loss. However, if you ever find yourself in need of some advice I am more than willing to share how our unit handled and dealt with this tragedy. It may help you determine how you will respond.

Yours in Scouting, 

Krampus

I can only imagine the pain you all must be going through.  My heart and prayers are with you, your unit, and all others affected by this.

Is there a place on this site, or another site, to host and share your action plan?

 

As I posted earlier in this thread, my Troop also recently had a Scout die; ours was on a campout.  I have written a lessons learned document to capture the things that we did well and that we can improve.  I want to find a place other than my Troop's site to host it my document so that it gets more visibility.  Any suggestions?
