DEDICATE BiC ROCK TO MEMORY
| OF W. T, TGLCH, ONE OF FOUNDERS
OF CAMP OF SCOUTS NEAR JUNEAU
Yesterday afternoon the members
of Ihe Troop Committee of the Roy j
i Scouts, a detail of Scouts and sev- j
I eral citizens, make the trip by auto
, to the Roy Scout t amp at Glacier |
(lien on Mt. McGinnis, where with
simple, yet impressive ceremonies,,
i what is known as the Rig Rock was |
officially named and dedicated as
"Tolch Rock” in memory of Wein
and T. Tolch, a former member of
the Juneau Troop Committee and one.
of the founders of the Glacier Glen
Boy Scout camp.
The rock which was given an of >
ficial name yesterday is an immense'
boulder located on the trail to the
'Scout camp and marks the end of
jthe automobile road to the camp. It,
I has never borne any other name
than that of the Rig Rock, and it was'
I most fitting that the Scouts should I
have thought to name this rock
after Mr. Tolch, who was so largely
instrumental in the organization of
the Scout movement in Juneau and
contributed so largely to he work of
establishing the camp site.
Dedicatory Mudress
An inscription was painted upon
the face of the rock reading, “Tolch i
Rock—a friend of the Roy Scouts.”.
Assistant Scoutmaster M. S. Whit I
tier conducted the dedication cere
monies and paid a high tribute to
the life of Mr. Tolch. He said in'
part:
“Mister Scoutmaster, Members of j
the Troop Committee, Boy Scouts and I
Friends:
"As we are journeying home from j
the pleasant camping grounds of the
Boy Scouts at Glacier Glen. It Is |
indeed fitting that we should pause j
a moment to consider on what ac
count, and by whom this pleasant
camping site w'as made possible.
"A year ago when the troop com
mittee of the Roy Scouts of Juneau
was casting about for a suitable place
to establish a summer camp for the
Hoy Scouts, got'I .fortune placed upon
that committee »> citizen of Gastineau
Channel who was a lover of boys
and a lover of nature, as well as an
engineer hy profession, and Ins foot
steps were lead to the hillside of
tins beautiful mountain. His trained
eye (illicitly caught the vision of a
Scout rump nestled at the fool of
Ml. McGinnis amid the towering
trees and beside the sparkling moun
tain stream with Mendenhall glacier,
one of God’s moat beautiful crea
tions. reflecting its snow-white sur
face uiion the whole landscape of
Olir camp. So enthusiastic' was this
gentleman over the possibilities of
this camping site that its selection
was soon adopted. We then s-e that
same gentleman -that great friend of
the Scouts working with the labor
of his own hands to place this cump
in order for the Scouts. You Scouts
who have been to camp well realize
the great sacrifice of time and
strength which he made for you.
Memorise of Kind Deeds
"Tliis year the closing days of our
camp was made sad by the news
brought to us of the sudden death
of this beloved friend of all Scouts,
Mr. Welnand T. Tolch. No longings
or regrets of ours can bring him
back, and while we mourn the fact
that our friend could not have been
left to continue His work for the
Boy Scouts, yet we have a peculiar
joy In the thought that he has left
us memories of kind deeds which
will be an inspiration to us through
out our lives.
"Knowing the unassuming life of
Mr. Tolch as we did, we feel that
he would not wish us to build monu
ments to perpetuate his noble deeds,
but the Troop committee of the Boy
Scouts of Juneau have thought it fit
ting to name and consecrate this big
rock, situated In the shadow of our
Scout camp, as “Tolch Rock,” in
memory of Mr. Tolch. This big rock

I at one time doubtless formed a part
j of yonder mountain. Broken away
1 from its parent body and rolled and
ground by the action of the mighty
glacier, it was finally cast upon this
' spot. We doubt not if this rock
: had had the power to think and
I speak it would hove complained that
; it had been torn from the natural
; environment and left alone and ap
I parently useless upon this spot. And
f yet we see how time has made it a
.useful guide upon this trail. We
1 look for this big rock as we as
icend the mountain to our camp and
I when we reach It we have a feeling
| of security, for we know we are on
; the right trail.
Comparison
“Today I see a wonderful compari
son between this big rock and the
life of our late friend, Mr. Tolch.
He was once a part of this great
mass of humanity, and we see him
tolling for .its betterment and for
the happiness of those with whom
he came in contact. You are all too
well acquainted with the many inspir
ing virtues in the life of Mr. Tolch
to make it necessary for us to again
bring them to your attention. His
devotion to his honvp and loved ones:
his attention and earnestness in his
business: his uprightness in his busl
iess dealings; his thoughtfulness of
others are all outstanding memories
we cherish of hint May 1 say ltlat
they are guiding stones, like this big
rock, along the trail of life. If we.
and particularly these young Scoutt,
will endeavor to exemplify these no
ble virtues in the life of Mr. Tol li.
we will not go far astray on the trail
of life.
“Solid, immovable, this big rock
defies the elements to change its
character of position. So was the
life of our departed friend. Always
solid and immovable from the path
of restltude he endeavored to carry
out the 12 great principles of our
Scout law.
Rock Is Dedicated
“Let us therefore now gather
around this big rock, and as we
place our hands upon it, on behalf
of this committee, and in loving re
membrance of Mr. Weinaml T. Tolch,
the great friend of the Scouts, I now
name and dedicate this as “Tolch
Rock." And may the Great Scout
mastef of all good Scouts have him,
our beloved friend, in His Holy Keep
ing.”
After the exercises at Tolch Rock
; the company journeyed on up to the
lamp where a supper was prepared
and the evening spent in the beauti
ful camp site overlooking the Men
denhall Glacier.
