RIck Vaughan
Rick Vaughan is our Boy Scout Troop 48 Scoutmaster in Lansing. He has led many boys in the Lansing community in achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. For example, in 2006, the troop had 5 Eagle Scouts. They are Frank Massi, Hunter Preston, Mark Bailey, Jonathon Howe, and David Jones. This is an amazing accomplishment due to the smaller size of the Lansing community.

Rick leads the way with many hiking trips, campouts at Camp Barton, and summer camps at different Scout camps each year. Through his leadership, Troop 48 participates in the semi-annual Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast, decorates for the holidays at Woods Edge apartments, and does Adopt-A-Highway. His leadership has helped inspire many other people in the Lansing community to get involved with Troop 48.

Rick Vaughan has amazing knowledge of the outdoors to share with boys and other adults in Lansing. He works for Cornell Co-operative Extension and can share many things that are interesting and valuable. He knows all about trees and plants and is a real naturalist.

One of the most rigorous and difficult programs in scouting is to work towards the Wood Badge. Rick Vaughan completed all the requirements and was awarded this honor at a Troop 48 Court of Honor with a special ceremony on June 11, 2007.
