Mr. John Creeden was a Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 466, sponsored by St. John the Evangelist Church (Silver Spring, MD).
Because there were few notes on the photos, we do not know about many of these events.
If you participated in any of these events as a Scout and/or Scouter, or recognize anyone in the photos, we would love to hear from you.
Unfortunately, we have no information about this Eagle Scout Court of Honor, other than it took place in the St. John's Elementary School Auditorium.
Of course, we were able to identify a few of the participants, such as Mr. Creeden and Msgr. Brady.
If you were at this event and/or can identify any of the participants, please let us know.

Because there were no notes on the photos, we believe that these are from an Inter-Troop Competition.
However, we have no indication of when or where this was held. If you participated in this event or recognize anyone in the photos, we would love to hear form you.
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.
This very short video documents the visit of Troop 466 to Camp Sinoquipe, which is currently run by the Mason-Dixon Council.
If you attended this event and can provide information about the trip, the participants, etc, we would love to hear from you.

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.
After almost 70 years of service, the original troop flag was found torn and tattered in the troop room in July. It was simply no longer usable.
A new troop flag was ordered and it arrived a few days ago. It was installed in mid-October on the troop flag pole.
Not only is a a difference in materials (linen vs. nylon) but also in the shape and lettering.
Due to COVID, it has been a long time since we met in person.
A number of camping trips, hikes and even summer camp was cancelled.
However, after some discussion, we had a Bridging Ceremony with Pack 23 and Pack 466. A total of eight (8) Webloes bridged. We will put out a series of photos from this event.
Nothing says a Troop 466 event like Little Debbie Cakes!
