Ed Patton Seeks Volunteers For Scout Work
ED PATTON
It has been said “A man never stands
so tall as when he stoops to help a
boy” and by this definition, Edward L.
Patton, Dan River district chairman of
the Boy Scouts, is a tall-standing man.
Mr. Patton, who is Fieldcrest’s re
search director, has
b e en involved in
Scouting since child
hood (he was an
Eagle Scout) and
now, as district chair
man, he would like
to see the local area
realize its Scouting
potential.
The Dan River dis
trict has 600 mem
bers. Mr. Patton said
it should have a thousand. He is at
tempting to improve the district Scout
ing program and increase enrollment.
One of the needs is for adult volun
teers. There are four committees which
are presently shorthanded:
(1) “Publicity”, which acts as a liai
son with the news media; (2) “Organ
ization and Extension'* for establishing
new unts; (3) “Leadership Training”
which is designed to set up training
courses for Den Mothers, Scoutmasters,
Explorers, etc., and (4) “Exploring,”
working with Explorer Scouts.
Three other committees, “Finance,”
“Advancement”, and “Camping and
Activities” are filled but Mr. Patton
said there is always room for addition
al help in any department. The chief
requirement for Scout work in any
capacity is enthusiasm.
He said adults in this area will get
a chance to see what has been going
on in Scouting at the Rockingham
County Scout show “Expo 70.” This
event will be primarily a merit badge
show which will consist of display
booths illustrating the theme, “Scout
ing in Action”.
“Expo 70” is scheduled for Satur
day, April 18, at the Reidsville Armory
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Troops 502, 508,
526, and Pack 8 from Eden will be
participating.
