First, a little more about who we are and how the Association was created. It was often said that the Boxwell staff needed some sort of alumni group, and of course there are reunions, some online groups, and staffers that get together now and then, but there was not anything formal to span all the years of Boxwell staff that have been serving the Reservation since 1921. After the last reunion it became more apparent than ever that it was time to explore the idea. On September 18th, 2021 the alumni committee, mostly formed out of the 2021 reunion committee began meeting on a regular basis to plan how to move forward with that idea.

Two years later the Boxwell Staff Alumni Association officially formed on September 30, 2023 with a kickoff event held at Camp Parnell at Boxwell Reservation.

The mission of the Boxwell Staff Alumni Association is to support the Boxwell program, current staff, and the Reservation through service, preserve the Staff history and legacy, and facilitate connections for Boxwell staff alumni.

Thank you for your service to Boxwell Reservation and Scouting. We look forward to working with you on projects to continue to improve both the camp and its staff.
