A second generation Eagle, he followed his father and Scoutmaster in receiving his eagle in 1947 and ever since has brought the principles and ideals to scouting to hundreds of scouts and venturers. He is a veteran of 13 Philmont Trips and one of the brightest lights in unit based scouting anywhere.

This former scoutmaster of Troop 177 Stow and Crew Advisor of Crew 2177 came to Troop One Akron in 1996 and has been a God send for the adults and youth of troop one.

One thing Houston Morgan has done is carve indian head neckerchief slides for all of his Eagle Scouts.  He learned from the ranger "Uncle Gene Crawford" at Manatoc Scout Reservation and been carving ever since.

By his own admission he has presented one to each Eagle Scout he has been involved with.  This numbers over 75 before coming to Troop One and 29 at Troop One.  While the numbers may be approxinate and will grow, what is clear is he has presented his carvings to over 100 Eagle Scouts!  Over 100 lives influenced by this generous man and the world is better for it. 

His father was one of the first scoutmasters in Akron Area Council and had the very first Eagle in the council.  He has 3 generations of Eagles in his family, the latest Ben Delaney from Troop One.
