15 minutes with Mister Boy Scout of Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, March 1, 2015

Tom Lehman has been a leader in the Boy Scout program in Ada for 30 years, encouraging positive growth and leadership among our local youth as they prepare to meet the world. He is also the commander of the Ada American Legion Post.

When did the Ada Scout troop begin and when did you get involved?
The troop here was founded here in 1917. I came on board in 1985 because the pack leader at the time had just moved from Ada.

Oh, I don't know, lots.
