5th District American Legion Commander William Park was the presenter of the awards with Oswego County Scouting Chairman James Ellis. Below are the pictures of the boys present.
Despite the absence of many county officers including the county commander Fred Waters, vice commanders Grover Britton, Herbert Hawker and David Sturge; as well as sergeant-at-arms Donna Kestner, David Walker presided over the county meeting. As Oswego County Historian, I must apologize for the poor showing of our officers. It casts a very poor image of our Oswego County American Legion.
This is the delicious cake that was provided by Fuller-Taylor Post 915 in Central Square as well as soda and coffee.

Scouting chairman James Ellis spoke on the American Legion's early sponsorship of scouting and their singing of "God Bless America" with Kate Smith at their Lake Placid scout camp.
As a tribute, all present stood and sang "God Bless America" together before adjourning the scouting presentation. Then the scouts, parents, sponsors and audience enjoyed cake and soda.
The regular county American Legion meeting followed with David Walker acting as commander. Guests present for the meeting were 5th and 6th District Vice Commander Dale Dingman and 5th District Commander Bill Park who stressed the importance of getting the membership built up again. Oswego County is #52 in the state, let's get going!!!
