Ira J. Hill
As Boy Scouting is one of the
major youth activities in Fair
banks and the surrounding areas.
Ira J. Hill, Midnight Sun Council
Executive here, faced with
many challenges. ™
Presently he is working on the
formation of an arctic district for
scouting in the villages. A Ber
ing Sea district is quite active
now in addition to several vil
lages, however. Hill hopes to
see scouting introduced to boys
all over the state.
He was born in Coeur d’ Alene,
Idaho where he graduated from
high school, junior college and
ottnnrlnrl thn TTnii;f>rcitv nf Trlahn
His college career was inter
rupted for a short time with the Photo by J\ Studio
onset of World War II and he entered the Army Air Force as
a navigator in 1942.
In his spare time while he was stationed in the service in
South Carolina, he coached the junior varsity team at Green
ville High School. He served all over the states for the next
three years and when he was discharged, entered Utah State
College. He graduated from there in 1949 with a degree in ed
ucation and math.
Before he began his long career in scouting, he coached for
three years at the high school in Kellog, Idaho, and taught
mathematics. During the summers he worked as a camp dir
ector and waterfront director for the Boy Scouts at a camp out
of Coeur d’ Alene.
He met his wife, Betty Jean, in Kellog and the couple were
married in his home town.
Hill turned to Scouting for his life work in Yakima. Wash
ington in 1952 and was there until 1956 when he went to Port
land. In 1959 he was transferred .upon his request, to Alaska,
and was named District Executive for Western Alaska's Coun
cil.
He has been the Boy Scout executive in Fairbanks since
the formation of the Midnight Sun Council in 1960 and hopes
>o continue in this capacity for a long time.
Hill sees a great challenge in Alaska’s future, especially in
the field of scouting. He stated that he is "impressed with that
willingness of people to pitch in and help". He said that thevt
have a determination for good scouting not only to build fcoy’£
skills, but boy’s citizenship and character. “There is excellent
cooperation in scouting from the military here,” Hill added.
