Deceased Name: Marvin Adamson; 63 years with the Boy Scouts
Marvin (Scotty) Adamson was a 63-year member of the Boy Scouts of America. And he stayed that long because he liked having fun, he enjoyed being around young people, and the "values of the scouts' movement matched his values," said his daughter, Peggy Adamson.
"My dad quietly went about his Boy Scouting," she said. "To many people (in northern Minnesota), his name is associated with Boy Scouting."
Adamson, who was born in Grand Rapids, Minn., died of natural causes Feb. 17 at his home in Nashwauk, Minn. He was 78.
William Betzler of Buhl, Minn., a friend and another 60-plus-year scout member, said it's uncommon to stay in the organization that long, but "we both had very interesting and profiting experiences in scouting."
Peggy Adamson, a 40-year member of the Girl Scouts of America, said her father had planned to attend his 60th high school reunion, and was looking forward to the year 2000. He also hoped to attend the dedication of an elevator for the handicapped at the United Methodist Church in Pengilly , Minn., next month. He helped raise money to install it. His wife had suffered from a brain tumor and could not attend church. She later died.
"This was something he couldn't help my mother with, but he could help other older people with," said Peggy Adamson of Monticello, Minn.
As a scout, Marvin Adamson earned a Silver Beaver Award in the late 1960s for community service, and the Wood Badge in the 1980s. He was a scoutmaster and member of the Headwaters Area Council and the Voyageurs Area Council. And he started the first Nashwauk Boy Scout troop.
He served in the Navy during World War II and began his career as an engineer in 1946 for Butler Brothers Mining Co. He later became a project engineer for Hanna Mining Co. He worked in the design and construction management of iron ore processing.
After retirement he did consulting work for Hanna Mining and Bechtel Corp. In addition to his daughter, Adamson is survived by a son, James Adamson of Rapid City, S.D.; another daughter, Donna Trott of Devine, Texas; three sisters, Elizabeth Ramsey of Ishpeming, Mich.; Grace Jewell of Aitkin, Minn., and Marion Bibeau of Ball Club, Minn., and seven grandchildren.
