Just when I thought last year's Fall Fellowship was unbeatable, this year's LEC, (under the supervision of Lodge Adviser, Todd Haydon) pulled off one of the most fun and exciting Scouting events that I have ever been a part of!

"My benefits from Scouting in terms of personal satisfaction have been more than my contributions to the movement." -WPW

I would like to thank the entire Walters family for the preservation and passing along their father's history.  I am especially grateful to the daughters, Judith Hinkle and Anne Worthington, for taking the time to dig through boxes and sharing this wonderful story of one of the great pioneers of Boy Scouting in eastern Kentucky.  I am inspired by his life and work, as I hope others will be too.
