Scoutmaster Notes

 

1     Reverend O. L. Evans was “Director of Boys Work” in Americus from 1934 until the opening of Chehaw Council in 1939.  After 1939 he was the District Commissioner until his health failed in about 1945.  He often took over as the temporary scoutmaster when a troop was without one.  He served as scoutmaster for Troop 1 (now Troop 21)  from early 1936 until late 1937 so he has been listed as a scoutmaster.

 

 2   John  Pope served as Scoutmaster for 6 months while Charlie Hogg was in the Military during World War II.

 

 3. J. A. Lutz was the "Scoutmaster" of the cub scout "troop" associated with Troop 21 during this time period.  At this time Cub Masters were called "Scoutmasters" and Cub Packs were called "Troops."  This probably is the source of some sources listing him as a Troop 21 Scoutmaster..

 

4.  Scoutmasters from Troop 1 which was the predecessor troop to Troop 21.   New Scout Master, The Atlanta Constitution, June 17, 1919.

 

5.  Scoutmaster from Troop 1 which was the predecessor to Troop 21.

 

6. Scoutmaster from Troop 1 which was the predecessor to Troop 21.   Scout Meeting Halted, The Americus Times-Recorder, February 10, 1919.
