In Remembrance: Scoutmaster Dan Thurber

We honor long-time Scouter & "Legend of Little Turtle", Dan Thurber who passed away on March 15, 2021, after a long and brave fight against cancer. Dan started his leadership experience as a Cub Scout leader in 1977 and has been to summer camp at CCLT every year since 1980. As a leader in Troop 2, Dan brought hundreds of scouts to camp, many going on to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout during his time as Scoutmaster, since 2007. Dan served as the Kiskakon OA Lodge Advisor from 1985-2002, was the Scoutmaster for Junior Leader Training from 1984-1992, and served as a Campmaster from 1981-1988.

In addition, he completed six treks to Philmont and eleven trips to the Boundary Waters with Scouts. For his service to Scouting, Dan has been recognized with the District Award of Merit, Silver Beaver, and Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow.

Dan was recognized as a "Legend of Little Turtle" during the 50th Anniversary Commemoration in 2017 for his "lasting & significant contributions" to Scouting at the Anthony Wayne Scout Reservation. Dan's proudest moments were when his scouts received their Eagle Scouts, knowing how hard they had worked towards the rank.

Dan, you have certainly left your mark on the scouts and families of Troop 2 and we are forever thankful for your service and dedication.
