"Those dunes at Jacksonville Beach
now are about 30 feet wide and eight feet
high," Walker said as Troop 40 worked
last January at Huguenot State Park.
"What we did then worked."
Did it ever! The council awarded a
Silver Beaver to Shea in 1989 and Walker
in 1990. Their citations specified their
dunes conservation service.
Shea, a naval officer and an assistant
Scoutmaster of Troop 277, chartered to
the Christ Episcopal Church of Ponte
Vedra, had become involved when 277's
Scoutmaster, Larry Sikes, was recruited
by Bob Lea. Impressed with the work of
these pioneering troops, other units
signed on. And then two of the beach
districts, Osceola and Coquina, approved
district programs.
The next giant step forward was in
1984 when Lea and Sikes asked the coun-
cil Boy Scout committee to consider mak-
ing dunes restoration a council project.
After a forceful presentation by Joe Ha-
lusky, a Sea Grant extension agent and a
Florida University faculty member, the
committee approved. Chairman George
Bothwell asked Shea, then near Navy re-
tirement, to chair the dunes restoration
effort, and he accepted.
Marine educator Joe Halusky was an
important link in the unfolding chain of
events that first fired the imagination of
the Boy Scouts of America. Involved
eventually were county, city, school,
church, state, and federal officials who
had the muscle to help the council make
Dunes Day grow far beyond the vision of
the handful of men and boys who set the
whole thing in motion.
While searching for information Scout-
master Bob Lea asked Halusky if he
knew how effective the New Jersey
Christmas tree experiment had been. Ha-
lusky did not. But Halusky consulted a
colleague, coastal engineering specialist
