Show Wally Rupp Of Taylorsville 7 THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, April 2, 1987 - Feeling Scoutmaster Serves A Quarter Century Hopeless Comes From Fear Gloria loves the scouting program, he says. Mrs. Rupp is also constantly involved with youngsters in her position as principal of Academy Park by Olga Milius Green Sheet Staff Writer TAYLORSVILLE. More than 25 years in the scouting program has left its mark on Wally Rupp - and on his family. Not every suburban family has a network of ropes known as a monkey bridge strung across the front yard and a lineup of anxious boys waiting to cross it. Not every wife sacrifices her husbands weekends and holidays to hikes. campouts and But Gloria Rupp has been involved in scouting too, teaching Blazers and Cub Scouts, boys age 8 to 11 as they prepared to enter the scouting program. The Rupps have eight sons of their own, all of whom have achieved the rank of Eagle, Boy Scoutings highest rank, plus, one daughter, Gayle, recently returned from an LDS mission in Virginia. elementary. Wally has received the Silver Beaver, scoutings highest honor for an adult and knows that over the years more than 100 of his boys have earned the Eagle rank. He has, however, completely lost count of the number of boys who have gone through his program. Rupp still teaches his boys to tie knots, string rope bridges and find their way through the woods, but he also watches for activities that will let them be of service to the community. Community involvement for Wallys scouts has included putting in flag poles and bicycle stands at a church, painting fire hydrants and park benches, painting house numbers on curbs and teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the Heimlich maneuver to area residents. The troop also visited a cemetery in northern Utah, near the ghost town of Kelton, to do some cleanup work. The cemetery had fallen apart over the years, Rupp said.

Gayle, the only girl, returned from a mission two months ago and is presently substitute teaching in Granite School District. Scouting still emphasizes traditional values and outdoor activities and Rupp plans on a hike through the Uintas every summer for his troop. The boys are warned that they carry exactly enough food for the trip and if a meal is spoiled, they go hungry. Since they take turns fixing the food, the warning usually is effective, he noted. The troop is also reminded to do a good job on cleanup. I tell them, anything I find lying around, I'll make them eat it, he said. Rupp is careful to warn the boys to be sure water they drink from a stream is not contaminated, to go higher up and drink it as it comes out of the mountain, and to be sure they know their first aid. The hike is a challenge. When they meet it, they are pretty proud of themselves, he remarked. Rupp received a special Eagle award as recognition of his efforts in assisting more than loo boys in achieving the rank and also holds the Award of Merit. He was honored Tuesday at a surprise open house held following the court of honor in which his youngest son received the Eagle award. Scouting has played a big part in Rupps life and he credits the scout program for much of his good health and success, for his happy relationship with hundreds of young men and their parents and, particularly, for helping in raising his own family of scouts. had overgrown the plots and the fence was down. While we were fixing things up, some people from a nearby farm came over, thinking we were destroying the property and were sure relieved to find the boys were restoring the place. All but the oldest of the Rupp sons had their dad as their scoutmaster. All are doing well in their different fields, he added proudly. Oldest of the sons is Steve, an attorney.

This is how I act in my life, hopeless. I cant make decisions or take any major steps. I feel it's only a matter of time. How can I shake this irrational fear that all is hopeless for me? I feel like a very unlikeable person I don't have any friends to talk to about anything beyond the weather and current events. Psychiatric help is out because I believe it could not help me. I've never used drugs or alcohol, so its not that. Any ideas you have about what is causing me to feel like this and how to change it would be welcome. choose to find pleasure or to be overwhelmed with pain.
