The scouting spirit of Andrew McMorris will continue to shine as generations of future scouts visit the new lodge that bears his name.
The Andrew McMorris Lodge at the Baiting Hollow Scout Camp in Calverton was formally unveiled with a ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday morning, marking the culmination of a restoration project to turn a rundown Adirondack cabin into a new, updated space that can accommodate large groups of boys and girls.
A picture of Andrew from his seventh-grade school year rested on a folding chair at the end of a row next to Andrew’s parents, Alisa and John McMorris, sister Arianna, and his close friend Carter Rubin during the ceremony. All throughout the lodge, Andrew’s memory was omnipresent.
