100-plus years and still kicking in Bay Ridge: It’s the Boy Scouts!
BAY RIDGE – While scouting might appear passé and old hat to some these days, often being eclipsed by the advent of multiple technologies, the Scouts of America are very much alive and well in Bay Ridge.
In fact, when it comes to an authority on scouting, it doesn’t get any more genuine and official than Jim Clark – a man who has dedicated 75 of his 84 years on this earth to it.
“I’ve been in scouting since I was nine,” Clark told the Brooklyn Eagle. “My parents put me in, and I loved it. In fact, I still do.”
