Dads' History comments area; organised by year.

Addison III: John Lehman caught me well-oiled on a Thursday night ('01) and invited Addison IV and me to the guest campout (________ Ranch). Both of us were hooked! Thank you so much, John Lehman. Next year, a harmless breakfast with John Cooper and Jim Neubauer at Kuby's and I was "volunteered" for food. 15 years later I barely had time to eat. In those early days (early for me, Staley and Dittmar!) there were 3 scoutmasters: Cooper, Hogue and Higginbotham. There were 3-4 recognized Adult Leadership Positions. But there was almost unlimited dad involvement - the first year program and merit badges on Monday nights, and on average 80 or so dads on campouts. Yes, even in January! We were unorthodox by BSA standards, but we led Circle 10 in membership, attendance, eagles, and donations and we had to be having the most fun! By 2009 when I got out of the soup (and tricked Scott Rohrman into taking over!) there were 16 scoutmasters and 163 Adult Leader positions. What changed? Well the Troop did go from 50 scouts to over 200. But mainly we just had a bunch of zealous scouts and parents. The parents didn't have a 70% attendance requirement like the scouts. They just loved their sons and made it their priorities to lead by example, rain or shine, literally.
