Ken Alrutz, Mr. A, Our Fearless Leader, the Master, was Explorer Post 10’s compass from 1962 until being transferred by PPG in 1970.  He was our inspiration, our mentor. Bob Moreland, Mr. Moreland or Bloody Bob, served as the lieutenant, guiding the Post 10 ship from its founding in 1958 until it met its end in 1982.  He sang, he prayed, he laughed. With the leadership, tutelage and mentoring of these two giants, our crew of Explorers became men.  We learned ethics and values.  We learned perseverance and humility.  We learned faithfulness and reverence. We learned how to lead and how to follow.  We became lawyers, educators, actors and engineers.  We  became business owners and community and civic leaders.  And we became husbands and fathers. I firmly believe that much of our collective success may be attributed to those lessons we learned from our fearless leaders:  Ken Alrutz and Bob Moreland.  They changed our lives. It is with this in mind that we created a scholarship in their name that will, in perpetuity, send scouts from the Potomac District to camp, whether it’s a local summer camp, a BSA High Adventure Camp or the National Jamboree.  Mr. A and Mr. Moreland’s memory and leadership lessons will live on…forever.
