In memory: Bruce Jensen

It is with a very heavy heart that we must share with our Scouting family the passing of Assistant Scoutmaster Bruce Jensen.

Mr. Jensen passed away Saturday April 17th at home surrounded by his family after a brave, yet long fought battle with cancer.  Bruce is survived by his wife Chris and his sons Eric (Life Scout), Andrew (Eagle Scout) and Robert (Tenderfoot Scout).

The Jensen family has requested, in lieu of flowers, that a donation could be made to the Troop 583 Bruce Jensen Campership Fund. This fund has been established to help send any financially disadvantaged Scout from Troop 583 to summer camp.

In keeping with the spirit of Bruce's dedication to Scouting and great love of the outdoors, the Jensen family has requested that a campfire memorial service be held Monday May 3, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at Valley Trails Ranch, 30910 Sloan Canyon Road, Castaic, California.  All are welcomed to come and celebrate Bruce's life and friendship.  Scouts and Scouters are encouraged to wear Class A's.

Bruce, you will be missed at the campfire!

May the great Scoutmaster of all true Scouts be with us until till we meet again.
