Ray A. Garrabrandt, better known as "Zeb," a seventy-seven year Scouting
veteran and Scouting benefactor, died July 12, 1992, in Winchester.
Mr. Garrabrandt was the Co-Founder of the Shenshawpotoo Lodge, Order of
the Arrow, in 1944, and served as Lodge Advisor for three years. He
served in numerous Scouting leadership positions, including Summer Camp
Director of Camp White Rock, Camp Tomahawk, and Camp Rock Enon;
Scoutmaster of Troop #3 in Winchester; Philmont Scout Ranch Expedition
Leader; National Jamboree Contingent Scoutmaster and Jamboree Staff;
Shenandoah Area Council Commissioner; and Council Vice President. He
served as a member of the Council Executive Board for more than forty
years. An Eagle Scout, Mr. Garrabrandt earned the Scouter's Key and
Training Award and his Wood Badge Beads; he was the recipient of the
Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor and National Distinguished Service Award,
Silver Beaver Award, and Distinguished Eagle Scout Award. In 1974, "Zeb"
Campsite at Camp Rock Enon was named for him, and in 1982, Garrabrandt
Lodge was constructed in his honor to house weekend campmasters and
summer camp directors. In 1993, the Garrabrandt Scout Museum and
Training Conference Area, located on the second floor of The Armstrong
Scout Service Center, was named in his memory, because his bequest
provided a major portion of the funding for that facility and also much
of the initial Scout memorabilia displayed there.
