The scouter returning home from a over night camp.
You have to see this coin in person to catch the beauty and detail. Sorry the top picture is sideways. I need more tutoring from Jamie! :-)
We all know how much Neal loves scouting. He breathes, eats and lives scouting. His greatest joy is working with the young boys and getting them excited about getting merit badges that will lead them to their eagle project and eventually their eagle scout award. All four of our boys received their eagle scout whether they wanted to or not!
Ron Stanfield came by our home the other night with an early birthday present for Neal. This year is the 100 years of scouting celebration. Ron found out that there was a dollar coin being minted in celebration of this event in the scouting world. I don't know the whole story but he had to pull some strings, even contacting someone in Las Vegas to get one of these coins and probably had to pay a nice price. He knows Neal and knows of his great love for scouting. So Neal's early birthday present was the scout coin. Needless to say Neal was as excited, surprised and most grateful. What a thoughtful gift from a thoughtful friend to a guru scouter. Thank you Ron!!!
