Scout Name: Bruce Jackson

Awarded Eagle: December 18, 1977

Project Name: July 4th Parade Assistance

Project Description: Bruce’s Eagle Scout Project benefited the City of Edmond, many years before LibertyFest grew to the size it is now. He organized scouts to place markers for staging locations in the (then) Central State University library parking lot, direct parade entries to their appropriate staging location, and man 3 first aid stations along the parade route.

Summary of Scouting Career: Bruce’s scouting career began as a Cub Scout in the Second Grade with Pack 479, chartered at that time by the First Christian Church. He earned both Wolf and Bear ranks before moving into the Webelos den under the leadership of Robert McCoy, where he had his first, but far from his last, camping experiences of his life. After receiving his Arrow of Light, Bruce crossed over into Troop 479, where Don Hunteman was Scoutmaster. During his years with the troop, Bruce served in virtually every troop leadership position, from Assistant Patrol Leader to Senior Patrol Leader. He still has his trophy skin of patches and awards, including the patch from ushering the 1971 OU/Nebraska “Game of the Century”. After receiving his Eagle award, he went on to receive a bronze palm. Bruce finished his career as a Boy Scout as a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. After turning 18, he remainded in leadership roles with the troop, finishing with Scoutmaster, making him to date the only person to both receive his Eagle from, and serve as Scoutmaster for, Troop 479. While serving as an adult leader, Bruce received his Wood Badge beads after attending course SC-197. As part of the next generation of scouting, he also served as Den leader and Cubmaster for Pack 78.
