Eric: My Eagle Award (1967)


Figure 1.--Here is the end of my Scouting story. Thisis a picture of me the night I was awarded my Eagle Scout rank. The picture was taken in June 1967 while I was still 15 years old. The uniforming is typical 1960s, Long pants with the field pockets (you could button them up or down), web belt, and long sleeve shirt with the collar turned in to form a V-neck.

If you're a real scouter, you'll recognize the Schiff Scout Reservation patch on my right pocket. I had just returned from National Junior Leader Training Camp and was almost as proud of the training as my Eagle Scout medal. (the actual training patch was never sewn onto a shirt and is in the box with my Eagle Scout medal) The gentleman to my right is Joseph Avore, my scoutmaster, wearing his Silver Beaver award. I probably saw as much of Joe as my dad during my scouting years, since I was very active in the troop.
