1996 St Cloud Bethlehem Lutheran Boy Scout Troop Camping

For three years, I served as a Assistant Scout Master for the Bethlehem Lutheran Troup of Boy Scouts, along with Scoutmaster Gary Engler and fellow Assistant Scoutmaster Ron Schmid - We all had sons born in the mid 1980's  - Here are a couple of the campouts that we participated in back in 1996  ----

 

 Here we are setting up camp in the spring of 1996, behind the Weaver Nature Cabins, then stewarded by the Jim and Melanie Weaver family and the Sue and Tom Weaver family -  Pictured are the Schmid, Engler and Weaver campers, as well at Howie Heath, is looks to be playing a Native American Flute, an educator originally from Faribault and a long time high school  teacher in northern Minnesota -
