IN MEMORY OF THOSE SCOUTS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US
Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp is an organization founded in the spirit of Troop 160 and in memory of two scouts who passed away while active members of the troop: Craig Goodwin and Adam Beggs. Additionally, Joe Beggs, grandfather of Adam, was instrumental in the founding of this organization, and upon his passing, the organization was dedicated to him as well.
Craig Goodwin
July 9, 1970 - June 16, 1984 Craig Goodwin was a scout in Troop 160 from 1981 until his death.
Craig came from a single parent home of modest means. He was known for his exuberant spirit and his Dungeons & Dragons character, Craigen Oakenshield. |
Adam Beggs
December 23, 1988 - November 17, 2007 Adam Beggs was a scout in Troop 160 from 2000 until his death.
Adam was a scout who treated people with respect and was a friend to all. As an older scout in the troop, he had a knack for making the younger scouts feel welcome. |
Joseph Beggs
October 29, 1944 - July 10, 2013 Joe Beggs, grandfather of Adam Beggs, was an outdoorsman throughout his life.
One of his greatest joys in life was spending time at his camp on Spectacle Pond. In 2010, Joe Beggs offered to have his camp become the Memorial Scout Camp at Spectacle Pond. |
SCOUT MEMORIAL AREA
Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp was founded on the concept of memorializing scouts who have gone before us. In accordance with this tradition, we have established a Scout Memorial Area
The Scout Memorial Area is a "quiet area" on the shore of the pond where people can sit, look at the lake, and turn their thoughts inward. The area will feature a large plaque with the following inscription, "Lest we forget those scouts who have gone before us and blazed a trail for us to follow," and will include nameplates for deceased scouts and scouters that we have been asked to memorialize.
If you have a scout in your memories that you would like to memorialize at the Memorial Scout Camp at Spectacle Pond, you can request that we do so. We ask that you give us a $10 donation to cover the cost of the nameplate. Use the PayPal button below to make your request.
