Marvin Arkans

Friday, July 10, 2009
The Cradle of Liberty Council is sad to announce the passing of Marvin Arkans. Marv was a active member of the Board of Directors for the Cradle of Liberty Council. Served as a Council Commissioner for the Philadelphia Council, Camping Chairman, District Chairman, Scoutmaster, Silver Beaver recipient and a member of the National and local Jewish Committee on Scouting.

Marv and Florence established a National Eagle Scout Scholarship in the name of their late son Rick and also a local Rick Arkans Eagle Scout Scholarship fund.

Marv was a true friend to Scouting and will be dearly missed. I am personally saddened by his loss as I sent many lunches and phone calls discussing the improvement of the Scouting Program, he was a friend and a mentor. Below is the official notice of Marv’s passing.
