Memorial

It is with sadness that I advise that Mike Harris has died. Mike was a Silver Beaver, Silver Antelope, and Silver Buffalo scouter from our council. He served on our executive board for many years. He was a member of the National Executive Board of the BSA and had served as the Chairman of the National Court of Honor.

Services for Mike Harris will be held at 1:30 on November 21, 2017 at The Church of St. Paul in the Desert. The church is located at 125 W. El Alameda, Palm Springs. A reception at O’Donnell Golf Club will immediately follow the service.
