Daniel "Dan" Robert Reiner

“On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

He started scouting as a boy and continued through the Navy. A veteran, Dan served in the United States Navy during the Korean War. Dan was an example of how to put in a hard day’s work without complaining, how to keep going without quitting, and how to take life as it comes and make every day count.
