The Scoutmaster

Paul Eason was a Scoutmaster for more than sixty years. More than 350 young men became Eagle Scouts under his leadership. The troop he led began camping every month in the summer of 1951. In July 2023, the troop will complete seventy-two years of camping without missing a single month.
The record is extraordinary, but it is far less important than Paul Eason's influence on the thousands of Boy Scouts he led on their journey from childhood to manhood. He was born to be a Scoutmaster. He was kind, humble, and encouraging. His patience and energy were inexhaustible. He loved adventure. His moral compass never wavered. He always did the right thing. He had a profound, positive influence on three generations of young men in his hometown.
The Scoutmaster is the story of a remarkable man and his remarkable life of leadership and service
