In Memoriam - Ronald Edward Bons has Gone Home

Post date: Oct 31, 2017 4:44:25 PM

It's with great sadness that we report, on October 24, 2017 75th Midnapore Scouts lost one of our own. Ronald Edward Bons, a former Beaver and Cub, went home at the age of 31.

Ronald embodied all there is about Scouting. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing him will always remember his perserverance and heart.  Like any youth, he had times when he excelled and other times where he got frustrated but he never gave up.  To all the youth in our program, he was not a boy on crutches or in a wheelchair - he was just Ronald, a fellow Beaver and Cub.
