The Bike Collection -- A Blast from the Past!

John Creeden (1921 - 2021) served as both Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 466 (Silver Spring) during the mid/late 1960s to the early 1970s.

Mr. Creeden passed away in June of this year.  A number of boxes of his Scout memorabilia was sent to the author of this blog - photos, documentation, etc.

After sorting through the photos and scanning them, a series of short videos were created.

In this short video, we see the members of Amangamek-Wipit Lodge #470 repaired 16 bikes and tricycles for the Stephen Knolls Elementary School (Silver Spring, MD). They were donated for the use of the Special Education students at the school in March 1971.  This activity was organized by Mr. Creeden.  

If you participated in this, or know any of the individuals involved, we would love to hear from you.
