The best examples of “Once an Eagle, always an Eagle”

David R. Doucette, Ph.D., P.E. DEAR FRIENDS,

To honor the dedicated young men who have become Eagle Scouts in the Theodore Roosevelt Council, it has been the long-standing tradition of the Arthur R. Eldred Chapter of the National Eagle Scout Association to host an annual recognition dinner. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we were unable to host the in-person tribute event in our traditional fashion this year. We are proud to pay tribute to these remarkable individuals with this special online commemorative tribute journal.

Last year, a total of 214 Scouts earned their Eagle rank and belong to the 2019-2020 Class of Eagle Scouts. They are members of a small and select group of 4 percent of Scouts who have met this great challenge and truly deserve our congratulations.

We also applaud Eagle Scouts who have made noteworthy achievements as they follow the Eagle trail through life. These esteemed alumni include our Nassau County Eagle Scout Hall of Fame inductees, NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award recipients, Class of Eagles honoree, and Gilbert L. Parachini Silver Wreath Award recipient.

Your participation and support through this publication has helped to ensure the continuation of a first-class Scouting program in the coming year. Thanks to your generosity, Scouts who become Eagle Scouts will also be awarded a Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout presentation set, as a gift for earning their rank.

In a time when there is so much uncertainty, thank you for helping ensure our Scouts have the same Scouting experiences as those that came before them, enabling hundreds of more young people to earn this noteworthy achievement.

Yours in Scouting,

Scott R. Christensen Arthur R. Eldred NESA Chapter Chairman

1 The Boy Scouts of America provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared. For Life.®”

MISSION The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

VISION The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

SCOUT On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and OATH to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

The Theodore Roosevelt Council was chartered by the Boy Scouts of America in 1917 to administer the Scouting program in Nassau County.

LIFETIME MEMBER George N. Boulukos 3 * Past President ‡ District Chair º National Council Representative THE NATIONAL EAGLE SCOUT ASSOCIATION

In the 15 years following the organization of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910, the growth of the movement was slowed only by the need for qualified leaders. There was no program developed to hold the interests of the older Scouts in their troops. Many youths attaining Scouting’s highest honor lost interest and dropped from active participation.

On the night of April 19, 1925, ten Eagle Scouts met in the office of Scout Executive Raymond O. Hanson of the San Francisco Council to organize an association that would hold the interests of Eagle Scouts, uphold the dignity of the Eagle Award, and provide a base for continuing leadership in the Scouting movement. That night it was decided to organize an association of Eagle Scouts devoted to service—the Knights of Dunamis.

The name for the new association was selected carefully to reflect its dedication to service. The word “Dunamis” (pronounced DOO’-NA-MIS) is derived from the Greek word meaning “power” or “spirit” and denotes the increased power that is an Eagle Scouts’, by virtue of his membership, to use for the good of the Scouting movement and his community.

Dunamis was formed to promote Eagle Scouting. The founders felt that young men seeking a meaningful purpose in life fulfilled many of the same requirements as the Knights of Old. Thus, knighthood and the greatest knight of all, Sir Galahad, became the foundation of Dunamis. The Knight’s Code, which stressed honor to his country, the preparation to defend it from any enemy, and the commitment of service to his fellow man, was the obligation of a knight.

At its annual meeting at Fort Collins, CO, in August 1970, the National Chapter of the Knights of Dunamis Inc., empowered its officers to take action to dissolve the corporation and consummate a merger with the Boy Scouts of America.

The National Eagle Scout Association was launched with the first NESA committee meeting held in conjunction with the National Council meeting in Los Angeles on May 19, 1972.

The purpose of NESA has remained the same: to identify Eagle Scouts and to provide a man power resource for local Councils. The primary objective of local chapters is to guide Eagle Scouts of all ages into service within the local Council. All BSA councils have membership en rolled in the National Eagle Scout Association.

NESA is young men searching for dynamic and challenging leadership roles. NESA is older Eagle Scouts who desire using their efforts and influence toward forming the kind of young men America needs for leadership. The objective of NESA is to serve—to serve Eagle Scouts and through them, the entire movement of Scouting.

4 ARTHUR R. ELDRED CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL EAGLE SCOUT ASSOCIATION

The Arthur R. Eldred Chapter has a proud history. The Chapter was started by a group of courageous Eagle Scouts in 1972, with Sheldon Weil serving as its first Chairman. Since then there have been seven successors, leading to a strong continuity in purpose and tradi- tion. The Chapter felt it was appropriate to take the name of Arthur R. Eldred, a member of Troop 1 in Rockville Centre, was awarded the first Eagle Scout medal in the country in 1912. National competition for adopting the name was keen, but with our history, our Chapter prevailed.

7 Theodore Roosevelt Council Nominee for the GLENN A. AND MELINDA W. ADAMS NATIONAL EAGLE SCOUT SERVICE PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD

George Gurney Troop 253

George Edward Gurney, an Eagle Scout with Troop 253, is the Theodore Roosevelt Council’s nominee for the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award.

A regular visitor to the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium since he was a toddler, George became a dedicated volunteer in high school, twice earning the national President’s Volunteer Service Award. At the Hatchery, an abandoned pond long caught George’s attention. The pond resembled a turtle’s natural habitat and could readily become a proper enclosure. Critically, turtles were living in re-purposed trout ponds. While appropriate for trout, those concrete boxes containing water and minimal land were insufficient for turtles. After discussion with the Hatchery Director, George’s Eagle Scout project focused on helping turn the pond into an exhibit by managing the installation of a 200 linear foot barrier, and bringing to life a professional landscaper’s design, using native plant species.

Over four months, twenty volunteers helped with the physically demanding work. They trenched the perimeter, installed the barrier, and planted over 100 native plants in rocky, root-infested soil. On Hatchling Turtle Day, turtles were released into their new pond. The first new exhibit in ten years, the turtle pond will help the 35,000 annual visitors better understand these animals, their importance to the ecosystem, and the value of protecting their habitat.

A graduate of Oyster Bay High School and a National AP Scholar, George was Captain of the Boy’s Varsity Fencing Epee Team, President of Rho Kappa, the Social Studies National Honor Society and Vice President of the Science National Honor Society. He is the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships including the Theodore Roosevelt Association Award, Oyster Bay Lions Club Community Service Award, Long Island Council for Social Studies Award, New York State Elks Association Academic Scholarship, and the Honorable Peter Fox Cohalan Scholarship in American History. George currently attends Michigan State University in the Honors College and James Madison College.

The National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) annually offers the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award (ESSPY). This award recognizes exceptional projects that have provided service to a religious institution, a school, community or other entity through completion of an Eagle Scout project. Each Council may nominate one project per year. 8 2019-2020 CLASS OF EAGLES HONOREE

16 ARTHUR R. ELDRED

Arthur R. Eldred, for whom the Theodore Roosevelt Council’s National Eagle Scout Association Chapter is named, holds the distinction of being the first Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. More than two million young men have followed in Eldred’s footsteps during Scouting’s first 100 years.

Arthur Eldred was born in Brooklyn, New York, August 16, 1895. His father died when he was a young boy, and was reared by his mother on a small farm on Long Island. He became a member of Troop 1, Rockville Centre, Long Island in November 1910, just eight months after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America.

Arthur Eldred advanced rapidly through the ranks, becoming a First Class Scout by March 1911 and by April 1912 he had completed the last of 21 merit badges required for Eagle.

To make sure the Arthur Eldred was worthy of the Boy Scouts of America’s first Eagle Badge, he was reviewed not only by his own troop’s board, but also by a special board composed of the three major founders of Scouting—Chief Scout Executive James E. West, Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton, and National Scout Commissioner Dan Beard. In a letter dated August 21, 1912, West formally notified Eldred that he was the first Eagle, and it is this date that is inscribed on a memorial plaque on his grave. Because the die had not been cut for the Eagle badge, Arthur Eldred had to wait until Labor Day to get his emblem of honor.

When Eldred earned his Eagle, the fledgling Scout’s organization had about 300,000 members. A measure of his achievement was that by April 1912 only 141 merit badges had been earned by about 50 Scouts in the whole country. Eldred’s honors in Scouting did not end with the Eagle. Within weeks, he saved a 15-year-old Scout from drowning while camping with his troop at Orange Lake, New York. For this he received the Honor Medal for Life Saving from Chief Scout Seton.

Eldred studied agriculture at Cornell University, graduating in 1916. He was on the track and cross country teams and was president of the University’s agricultural association. During World War I, he served as an enlisted man aboard a U.S. Navy submarine chaser based at Corfu, Greece.

Throughout his adult life, Arthur Eldred continued his interest in Scouting. He served as a board of review examiner, committee chairman of Troop 77 in Clementon, New Jersey, and as a member of the Camden County Council. In civic affairs, his interest remained with youth. He served on the Clementon Board of Education. At the time of his death in 1951, he was president of the Overbrook Regional School Board. 17 EAGLE SCOUT CHALLENGE

The foremost responsibility of an Eagle Scout is to live with HONOR. To an Eagle Scout, honor is the foundation of all character. He knows that “A Scout is trustworthy” is the very first point of the Scout Law for a good reason. An Eagle Scout lives honorably, not only because honor is important to him, but because of the vital significance of the example he sets for other Scouts. Living honorably reflects credit on his home, his church, his troop, and his community. MAY THE WHITE OF THE EAGLE BADGE REMIND YOU TO ALWAYS LIVE WITH THE HONOR.

The second obligation of an Eagle Scout is LOYALTY. A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation. His loyalty to his troop and brother Scouts makes him pitch in and carry his share of the load. All of these help build the loyalty which means devotion to the community, to country, to one’s own ideals, and to God. LET THE BLUE OF THE EAGLE BADGE ALWAYS INSPIRE YOUR LOYALTY.

The third obligation of an Eagle Scout is to be COURAGEOUS. Courage has always been a quality by which men measure themselves and others. To a Scout, bravery means not only the courage to face physical danger, but the determination to stand up for the right. Trusting in God, with faith in his fellow man, he looks forward to each day, seeking his share of the world’s work to do. LET THE RED OF THE EAGLE BADGE REMIND YOU ALWAYS OF COURAGE.

The fourth obligation of an Eagle Scout is to be CHEERFUL. To remind the Eagle Scout to always wear a smile, the RED, WHITE, and BLUE ribbon is attached to the scroll of the Second Class Scout award, which has its ends turned up in a SMILE.

The final responsibility of an Eagle Scout is SERVICE. The Eagle Scout extends a helping hand to those who still toil up Scouting’s trail, just as others helped him in his climb to the Eagle. The performance of the daily Good Turn takes on a new meaning when he enters a more adult life of continuing service to others. The Eagle stands as protector of the weak and helpless. He aids and comforts the unfortunate and the oppressed. He upholds the rights of others while defending his own. He will always “BE PREPARED” to put forth his best.

You deserve much credit for having achieved Scouting’s highest award. But wear your award with humility, ever mindful that the Eagle Scout is looked up to as an example. May the Scout Oath and the Scout Law be your guide for tomorrow and onward.

Eisenberg Nonprofit | Corporate Former Executive Vice Chair of the www.segreeassociates.com Arthur R. Eldred NESA Chapter Ph/Fax: 646-349-1199 From Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout By Richard R. Cob, Des Moines, Iowa

From Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout is a time of many changes. The Growing and the learning: They come in stages.

Bobcat, Wolf and Bear Cub, too… Don’t give up now, cause you’re not through.

Learn the Oath and Law of the Pack… Keep moving forward, don’t look back. Go on to Webelos, Get Arrow of Light. Have lots of fun… camp out at night.

Next come the troop, and bye bye, High Adventure for the fledgling Scout to try. Patrol living is the rule, Working together becomes a tool. To skillfully survive and “Be Prepared” For “any old thing” that can be shared… Cooking, camping, first aid too, knotty problems to work through.

Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class…First Class, too. Don’t give up now cause you’re no through. You’re almost there and it’s for sure that you have merit. You’ve learned to follow and help others… Now learn to teach and lead your brothers.

Next is Star and then comes Life… The young Scout still advances. More merit badges and a project, too Provides some leadership chances.

When once the Eagle rank is won, And you are soaring with the others, Remember Eagle is for life, Reach out and help another.

What the future holds in store, Only God can tell. Keep him always in your heart And you will serve him well. May the man you come to be one day Look back with pride and say, “Thank you for preparing me by joining the BSA” SCOUT VESPERS

Tune Tannenbaum Key G. Time 3/4

Softly falls the light of day, While our campfire fades away. Silently each Scout should ask: Have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honor bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared? Everything to be prepared?

Lord in this evening hour I pray That I have done my best today Draw near to me that I may see The kind of man thou'd have me be In serving others I may see That I am only serving thee Fit me Oh Lord in thy Great Plan That I may be a better man SPONSOR RECOGNITION
