"Hi Scouting family,
I’m hoping you can help me do something special for my grandfather, called "Mr. Edgar" by generations of Scouts.
He dedicated over 60 years of his life to Scouting, serving as a Scoutmaster in West Tennessee and helping guide more than 1,000 young men to earn their Eagle Scout rank. He was deeply involved in the Order of the Arrow, received the Silver Beaver Award, and led countless high adventure trips to Philmont and Sea Base, amongst so much more.
Now at 89 years old (turning 90 in Dec.) , life has slowed down a bit.
He doesn’t get out much anymore, not because he doesn’t want to, but because hearing has become difficult and group settings can be overwhelming. Lately, he’s been feeling like he’s “taking up space,” which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Scouting was one of the greatest passions of his life. It shaped who he is, and he gave so much of himself to it.
So I had an idea.
If anyone is willing, I would love to surprise him with letters from fellow Scouts, past or present, sharing your favorite Scouting memories, what Scouting meant to you, or even just a note of appreciation for leaders like him who gave their time to others.
My hope is to fill his mailbox with stories that remind him of the impact he’s had, not just on individuals, but on an entire community.
If you’re interested in sending a letter, please comment below or message me and I’ll share the mailing details.
Thank you for helping me honor a man who gave so much to Scouting.
Yours in Scouting,
Spenser"
