during the winter months. In the
summer, both spend the greater
part of their time on the camp
site, Dave supervising the
grounds, and Agnes, a registered
nurse, in the small infirmary as
camp nurse.
Dave’s work with the Boy
Scouts started long before he
became camp ranger. When his
oldest son was a Cub, Dave was
drafted as a committee chair
man Then he took on the job of
assistant scout master, and later
became Scout leader, a job he
held for 18 years.
As ranger he still works
directly with the boys them
selves, helping them with merit
badge projects and supervising
and working with them on service
and conservation projects at the
camp throughout the year.
Dedicated to both Boy Scouting
and his job, Dave talks at length
about his work at the camp,
taking visitors on hikes or on
bumpy, often breath-taking rides
over the rough trails of Camp
Mack.
He points out the various troop
sites, stopping now and then to
show where certain areas have
been marked off for new patrol
sites, and where other areas have
been designated for “no cam-

rest program.
He takes his visitors up a steep
trail to the camp’s water silo, a
massive construction that holds
50,000 gallons of water that is
piped to all the troop areas, and
to the swimming pool.
Guests are guided along a tour
of the rustic buildings on the
reservation, most of them built in
the last five years—the Health
Lodge, a well-equipped in
firmary, Blair House, used for
meetings and winter camping;
the Commissary, which houses
the camp’s food service, and the
Trading post, a supply store for
campers; the large staff mess
hall with its adjoining offices;
and the rustic chapel, quiet and
secluded among the trees.
One of the most popular spots
at the camp is the 42 by 82 foot
all-aluminum swimming pool,
flanked by small buildings that

have a shower area and the pool’s
filtering system.
Another popular spot is the
camp’s rifle range, where a
hunter’s safety course is con
ducted during the summer and
where Scouts work on rifle merit
badges.
A current project at the camp
is enclosing the pavilion on the
Webelo troop site for winter
camping. If this is successful,
Dave explains, other pavilions
will also be enclosed.
In the five years he has been
ranger, Dave has become a well
known figure to Boy Scouts from
all over a two-county area, as
well as their leaders and parents.
Highly respected for his
knowledge in Scouting and his
skill at maintaining the camp, he
plays an important role in
keeping Camp Mack one of the
most remarkable camps in the
Scout Council.
