Richard “Craig” Lindsay
Scoutmaster of Troop 339, sponsored by Wood Memorial Church in
Severna Park, Craig serves as an inspiration for youth leadership
development and a model for unit training, with 12 boys who achieved
the rank of Eagle Scout in 2013 alone. Craig is involved in numerous
committees at his church and served as a church elder. He led his
Scouts in community service projects including blood drives, adopt-ahighway, and building a ramp for a teen cancer patient.
Ellen MacAlester
Serves as Cubmaster of Pack 147, sponsored by Severn United Methodist
Church, and is the District Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner. Ellen
always displays a positive outlook, offering to volunteer “above and
beyond” to help units across the District bring Scouting to all children,
especially those with special needs. She also provides hundreds of hours
to the District Day Camp staff, supporting over 500 Cub Scouts. Ellen is
active in her church with the Prayer Shawl ministry.
Mike Rogers
Is Chairman of District Camp Promotions and Outdoor Committee and
soon to become Scoutmaster of Troop 855, sponsored by St. Martins in
the Field Episcopal Church, Severna Park. Mike is the spirit force for his
Troop, District field events, at District meetings, and cheerleading at
Roundtables. A Master Leave No Trace educator, his love of the
outdoors gives voice to the concept of “Scouting is Outing.” Mike’s novel
ideas and passion make a real difference and help make the program
truly fun across the District.

District, sponsored by Church of the Holy Apostles in Gambrills. Pack
