Silver Beaver...


Harold Boyd -- BSA Silver Beaver

"The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service."


Harold and Loretta have been married 58 years
and live on top of Horne Mountain in Buchanan County, Virginia.
Karl and I visit in their home at least once a month.  [Harold is an expert in family history research.]


In preparation for Girl's Camp...Debbie Clifton and I took our young women (Cassie and Tara) to Harold's mountain for a pre-camp clinic.  He taught us fire building, dutch oven cooking, plant identification and how to tie various knots.  He set up a washing station, gave us containers to waterproof matches, and let the girls pick black raspberries to take home.
Needless to say, we all went home well fed and worn out!
