Welcome to the Scouting Memories Podcast! We'll be bringing you interesting and unique personal stories from past and current members of Scouting.

In this episode, we’re going to listen to an interview with John Brown at the 2018 National Order of the Arrow Conference. 

John was born in Chicago and joined Scouting in 1945. At this time, Scouting in many areas across the country was segregated, so John was part of Chicago’s Douglas Division. John earned the Eagle Scout Award in 1949, then became a member of Owasippe Lodge in 1950. Since then, John has received numerous awards at the local, regional, and national levels. He served as Scoutmaster of the OA Service Corps at National Scout Jamborees in 1973, 1981, and 1993.

This interview was conducted by Mitch Pierpont and Nicholas Crenshaw at the 2018 National Order of the Arrow Conference.

This show is an official part of the Scouting Memories Project, which is an officially-chartered national project of the Boy Scouts of America. We invite you to share your unique, individual stories to help improve and promote all of all Scouting.
