Ye Olde Troop 182 Scoutmaster reporting. ""Back to Rockport, Massachusetts after 47 years. New memories and stories. Today July 1st. 2025 I am celebrating 18 years of my second life that God wanted me to have after surviving a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Every morning I thank Him for each day and I renovate my commitment to serve Him and be a life example to others. Many thanks to Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and Saint Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez for their intercession. I also give thanks to those Scouters and Scouts who were ready to save a life thanks to their skills. I also am grateful to all family, friends, and people who pray for my fast recovery. I pray for you all everyday. As I continue this second life journey, I am centered on the Grace God has given me to do His command and obey His divine will. Follow our stories, maps, and routes of His sanctuaries, churches, and hermitages. God bless you all. Stay healthy.

Bob Swindling’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor! 🦅

Sea Scouts Ship 283 Poseidon Eagle Scouts who are from Troop 182 and Sea Scouters attended this historic Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Ship 283 Skipper reports: ""
I’ve known Bob for all 20 of my scout leader years. 3 of my boys (Austin, Josh, Jacob) went through his unparalleled 1st-year program of taking new scouts to 1st class. As a youth scout himself ~50 years back, Bob missed a couple of signatures on his own Eagle application due to technicalities and untimely circumstance. Finally, BSA has granted him the rank.
Bravo Zulu my friend, you embody the spirit of a true scouter and nurtured many to become Eagles themselves. 👏🏼 ""
