In Memory...

Boxwell has existed in some form since 1921. Most Staff Reunions have focused on the Old Hickory Boxwell and Rock Island. Still, as of the 2014 Reunion, there was still a list of over 2700 people who had served on staff. Including the Narrows and the Linton camps--information we don't have--would increase this list to well over 3000 Staff members.

Sadly, this also means that not all former staff members are still with us.

Given a history of almost 100 years, it would be impossible to build a comprehensive list of all those staff members who have passed on. However, given the work done at past Reunions and the updates from the "Boxwell News" section of this website, we can present a partial list.

The list below includes all the names we are aware of at this time. There are undoubtedly more and if you know of someone not on this list, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page. Where we have specific information, the name will be hyperlinked. The link will take you to a posting in the "Boxwell News" section on the staff member's death.

We feel honor-bound to present this list of comrades, colleagues, and friends who are no longer with us today. Each of these people gave some part of their lives to Scouting and to Boxwell in particular. They are still missed today.
