St. Lawrence Boy Scout Troop 302 has lost a great friend and leader. Eagle Scout Mr. David Hecker died during surgery on Monday August 15th in Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Hecker had been involved in scouting for 43 years as a youth and as an adult leader of troops in Dayton and Cincinnati. He had been awarded the Bronze Pelican and the St. George Emblems by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for his work in Scouting as Youth Ministry. He had received the District of Award of Merit in Scouting and the Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow. He and Mr. Bill Aufermann met as Cub Scouts in Pack 2 of St. Henry Parish in Dayton, Ohio and sustained a friendship for 43 years. Twenty years ago when Bill needed help with Troop 282  in Cincinnati, David volunteered to drive from Dayton each week to help out. David always said that he had a great time in scouts as a boy and appreciated the men that gave of their time and energy to see that he and others had that opportunity. David felt that giving back by serving as a trained leader was a way to honor those men and provide similar experiences to other boys. Twelve years ago, he joined the Cub Scout Pack 302 committee. Eight years ago he joined Troop 302 as the Advancement Chair and saw three young men achieve Eagle rank with four others currently at Life rank and working toward Eagle. We thank Mr. Dan Re, Mr. Terry Aufermann, and Mr. Brett Baker for working toward getting trained to fill the void left by David’s death. Please remember David and his family in your prayers.

Campouts cost $5/per boy (excluding Summer Camp) thanks to generous benefactors.  No boy will be left behind for financial reasons.
