Benefiting Our Scout Heritage
From 2006 thru 2012, I began serving as a Collections and Art Merit Badge counselor
at the BSA National Museum in Irving, Texas. As a part of these merit badge classes,
I've taught our Scouts an appreciation for their Scouting heritage by "reading" our
history in patch form. In addition, our Scouts have learned what it
takes to create a patch all the way from the design phase through the completion in our
BSA Museum Art Merit Badge - Legends of Scouting series. Last year, we honored
Frank "Doc" Dingwerth with a tribute to his decades of Scouting. During 2012, we plan to
honor another Scouter by Scouts who will design the patch and present it to our
honoree. In addition to the patch, we prepare a BIO so that everyone can marvel
in the work our honoree has given to Scouting.
During our 2003 event, I was pleased to welcome Richard Reitz and the Camp Wisdom
Museum to our 2003 Lone Star Trade O Ree. In a small way, I was able to help the
preservation of our shared heritage by providing Richard an opportunity to raise
funds.
Again, during 2004, I was very pleased to welcome Carrie Taylor of the National
Scouting Museum and Richard Reitz of the Camp Wisdom Museum. Both raising funds
and providing boys and adults the opportunity to see .... what they might not
ever see .... if these representatives did not attend and promote our shared heritage.
Unpreserved heritage is legacy lost!
