He joined the Boy Scouts at the age of 12 and worked his way all the way to the Eagle Rank.

As an adult, Crawford has been active in all areas of Scouting, from serving as Scoutmaster to teaching courses and training camp counselors. He taught American Red Cross water safety and first aid for Kings Mountain Scouts for 18 summers, and first aid for 20 winters. He often went with Cubs to Camp York at the South Carolina State Park to serve as water front director. Wood Badge training was an- other important area for Crawford.

Macon, GA, during an eight- day intensive course on Scouting skills. “It was at my Wood Badge Campfire when I dedicated my- self to Scouting,” he said. “I saw the impact Scouting had on the lives of men from all walks of life. Some of the men had been Scouts and some had not, but all the men were there to help train boys to become Scouts and better men.” In 1962 Crawford served as Council Scoutmaster for the Piedmont Council and traveled with his troop on a 28-day expe- dition, staying at Army camps and Air Force bases en route to spending 10 days on the trail at Philmont Boy Scout Ranch. In 1965 he was on the National Wood Badge Staff at Philmont. Crawford served in some ca- pacity at National Jamborees in 1964, 1973, 1977, 1981, 1989 and 1993. He has received numerous Scout awards, including the Distinguished: Commissioners . Service Award, Wood Badge Deputy Camp Chief, Training Key, Scouters Key for Commissioners, William E. Lawrence Award, and District Award of Merit. It is estimated that Crawford has touched the lives of over 50,000 Scouts during the past 60 years. “When you train Scouters at Philmont and Schiff, those Scouters return to their Councils and train Scouters who then train Scouts,” he not- ed. “You must train correctly because one training event you give is multiplied many times.” The East School Cub Scout program has been in existence since 1993 and is credited with being one of the key factors in East attaining status as one of the 25 most improved schools in the state of North Carolina ABC testing program. The troop began as a way for the school to improve school- community relations and in- crease community involvement in the school. The Scout pro- meetings each Monday night at gram made a special smpliase East School. on including students from low-income families and-a pro- gram that would support the school’s educational goals. The Pack was first sponsored through a $250 donation from the East School PT.O. Twenty boys were enrolled and numer- ous parents volunteered their services as leaders and in other areas. Today, Pack 93 has 63 scouts and 22 trained leaders. The pack’s budget has grown to $5,000 a year with most of the income generated from its annual popcorn sale. Pack 93 has outsold 11 counties for three straight years and proudly calls itself the “popkernels” of scout- ing. Pack 93 has been honored as a “Quality Unit” for two straight years. Ninety-eight per- cent of all registered scouts advance within the Pack, and over 80% regularly attend den This year 15 of the 16 fifth grade Webelo Scouts graduated the Pack with the “Arrow of Light” award, the highest honor a Cub Scout can achieve and the only award that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. Over 415 awards have already been given to East Scouts during Pack meetings. Eleven fourth grade Webelos earned the “God and Family” award, and the eighth grade Bears will receive the “God and Me” award on May 1. These awards come from the direct involvement the Pack has with Second Baptist Church. The Pack is also actively involved in “Scouting for Food” which is held the first two weeks in November. Over three tons of canned goods have been collected for the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry through this program. Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce endorses KM satellite health department BY ALAN HODGE - Staff Writer The Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce held its monthly luncheon meeting Tuesday at the Central School building in Kings Mountain. At the request of David Faunce of Kings Mountain, the Chamber adopted a position statement proposal supporting the establishment of a satellite office of the Cleveland County Health Department in Kings Mountain. Currently, approxi- mately 25 percent of services of- fered by the Health Department are provided to citizens with a Kings Mountain zip code. As the proposal stated, a satellite clinic would conveniently pro- vide to Kings Mountain area 5 Available in‘piush, firm and pillowtop ; with low profile micro tek boxsprings. 10 times the durability at nearly 1/2 the height.

Even though he said that the City of Kings Mountain might provide some free space for the operation, it would still need other funding. Jay Rhodes of the Kings Mountain Branch of the Chamber said he felt an- nual costs of the clinic could be between $40,000 and $60,000 annually. Rhodes also said that if the clinic couldn’ t be funded for five days per week, then the possibility of a part time opera- tion could be explored. Following discussion, the Chamber voted to endorse the resolution which supported the concept of a satellite Health Department branch in Kings Mountain. Another Kings Mountain member of the Chamber board who addressed the meeting Tuesday was county commis- sion candidate and school merger opponent Ronnie Hawkins. Recognizing that the , merger issue had strained feel- ings countywide, Hawkins ‘asked his colleagues to use their positions with the Chamber to help restore harmo- ny and good will. “No matter what the final de- cision on merger, we should work together to make the pro- cess of transition a smooth one,” Hawkins said. “If there is an interim school board, they will just have two months to make some difficult decisions and they will need everyone’s help.” Several others at the meeting echoed Hawkin’s sentiment, in- cluding chairman John Young.
