 Scouter
Don McLaughlin, 1946-2010Scouter Don McLaughlin has been apart of our Scouting family for over 30 years, for some of you, he was a new friend, for some, they have known Don for many years. He touched our lives in the grand tradition of scouting, with arms wide open, a smile on his face and always ready to lend a helping hand where needed. His passion for what he believed in took him far and wide, camping, cooking, hikeing, training and teaching those who were there to listen. Don's enthusiasm was infectious at times, lifting those of us up when we needed it, lending an ear or a hand, teaching a new knot or how to cook on a open fire. His wisdom with age and experience was invaluable, it was never a question who to ask for some idea's or a volunteer, he was there. From Beaver meetings to Venture & Rover meetings, from Group Committee's to Councils, he has done it all, most times with a smile on his face, a laugh in his voice and a wealth of knowledge that most can only hope to posess. Most of all, Don's passion was for Scouting, for what it stands for, ideals, principles and formost, for the youth. He believed we can all make a difference and together with his wife Theresa, they worked as a team, educating and enriching the lives of countless youth that otherwise would not have had the chance to grow and learn such valuable life's lessons that scouting teaches. On Febuary 9th, scouting has lost a nobel warrior, we have lost a treasured friend and loved one...gone but certainly never forgotten. Gone home... Scouter Don McLaughlin 1946-2010
