Josh's mom and dad, Alice Beard and Bob Dowlut, have been involved
with Camp Fire for many years as has his sister Sabrina. Alice was a leader,
created the Camp Fire History Website, and has been a Camp Fire supporter for
years. Bob is my outdoor guy. For years he kept watch over Camp Takahano as he
walked the Appalachian trail and reported back to us about its condition,
problems and other important factors.

 Josh
joined Camp Fire in kindergarten and stayed involved even as he started into
high school. His mom says, "His first experience as a salesman was when he was
in third grade and sold Camp Fire candy door-to-door in the neighborhood. I'm
proud that he has incorporated two of Camp Fire 's most important messages into
his heart and soul: Give service, and be trustworthy ever in all that you do."

 His most
vivid memories of Camp Fire are the science center sleepovers, I always thought
it was really neat to sleepover in a huge public museum, and have the whole
place to ourselves. Also the Jamboree of 91, it was amazing how many people
came out, there must have been 400-500.

Every now
and then we come across a story that has great impact on us. When we do, I
think it is important to share it with others. I recently received an email
from one of our Alumni leaders entitled "bragging about my son." I could hardly
wait to find out what the brag was about so I explored the story and then asked
to share it here with you on our CFUSA website.
