The Boy Scout program was one of Chuck's great loves. Together with Lou, he was involved with his sons and nephews and helped each one of those boys achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
In 1964 he served as Scoutmaster of Jamboree Troop 52 and attended the Boy Scout National Jamboree in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania where there were more than 50,000 Boy Scouts and leaders in attendance. He took his sons, Steve and Gary, and nephew, Don, and had a great adventure.
He began whittling while attending Boy Scout camp as a leader, and through the years taught countless young boys how to carve.

In 1970 he was awarded the Silver Beaver, the highest honor that a local council can present.
What a great legacy of service.

I had the opportunity to work with
Chuck at meetings like Back to School Night For Scouting or train-ing scout leaders. He was always in
uniform, knowlegeable, proffessional, and always ready to
tell of the importance of the Boy, and of the importance of Scouting
to the boy. His love of Scouting
was always apparent in these meetings.He had great displays, too.
