Be Like Ed

Ed Mason is one of those rare staff members who has had two runs, decades apart. Originally, a Parnell staff member in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ed returned to Boxwell in more recent years to work on the Boat Harbor and currently as Stahlman’s Camp Director.  He’s an Eagle Scout, a recipient of the Latimer award, and a retired police officer.

Be Like Jacob

Jacob Crawford is one of those staff members who isn’t a big flashy program person, but gets things done!  He joined the Stahlman waterfront in 2017 and became the director in 2019.  He stayed on there for a few years and can be found out at camp regularly now, just doing jobs that need to be done. In fact, he just spent summer 2024 as a temporary ranger!  Oh, and he brought the ice cream machine to the staff ice cream socials.  🙂

Remembering the Staff

Boxwell Reservation, 2014

A mere decade ago, Carl Adkins was completing his 11th summer as Reservation Director. Steve Belew was finishing his last summer as Ranger. A host of Reservation-wide programs dotted the landscape. Michael Allen ran the Boat Harbor, while Ben Orban carried director responsibilities at COPE. James Bryant ran shooting sports and Sean Patten ran the pool. James Bosse was running the NRA Light rifle program at the yet-to-be-rehabilitated Camp Parnell.

In the main camps, there were some familiar names. Camp Director was now a volunteer position, no longer the responsibility of a professional. As a result, Camp Director replaced the Program Director as the stability of the Scouts BSA camps. At Stahlman, Steve Eubank served as Camp Director. His program director was Lee Craft and Robert Hutcheson his Commissioner. At Craig, the Camp Director was Tony Turner. His program director was John “JJ” Norman with Perry Bruce as Commissioner. At CubWorld, the Camp Director was still a professional Scouter. In 2014, that individual was Ryan Vaden. Program Director responsibilities were shared between Melissa Paris and Gaylon Greer. Larry Green was back as Camp Commissioner, a position he continues to this day.

Shown here are staff photos of Craig, CubWorld, and the Administrative staff. All photos by John Kasper. We do not have a 2014 of Stahlman, which is ironic as John Kasper was a Stahlman staff member!
