It was so sad and unexpected to hear the news of John Ericson's passing! He was a dear friend and fellow scout in Troop 10, and will be missed by those of us who affectionately called him Meathead!

"Why We Do This," by Michael Tances Jr., Scoutmaster
After spending a week at Summer Camp, sleeping in a tent and enduring all types of weather, here are a few things I observed:
I saw 16- to 17-year-old Scouts take a shy, quiet Scout who was new to our troop under their wings and make sure he felt welcome.
I saw a Scout that had never been “Up North” tube and canoe down the Rifle River, laughing and in awe of everything he was seeing.
