3 past leaders recognized at annual Scouting fundraiser today

CANFIELD

Past Boy Scout leaders were honored and the value of Scouting for the future touted at Whispering Pines District’s ninth annual Friends of Scouting Breakfast fundraiser.

The event, “A Celebration of Scouting,” took place Tuesday at Camp Stambaugh on Leffingwell Road.

Recognized for their combined 150 years of service to the Whispering Pines District of the Greater Western Reserve Council, all of whom died earlier this year, were Robert I. Zedaker Jr., Poland’s Troop 44 scoutmaster for 24 years; George L. Grim, a founding member of Friends of Scouting Breakfast committee; and John D. Wolboldt, who was a longtime assistant scoutmaster and scoutmaster of Troop 25 in Canfield.

Each of them was a recipient of many scouting awards, and all received the Silver Beaver Award, BSA’s council-level distinguished-service award.
