The name of the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center, adja- cent to Irvine Park, was renamed the Ed Laird Scout Camp in a ceremony, Nov. 20, to honor the dedication and commitment to the organization by the lifelong Boy Scout. Ed Laird and wife Patty are standing in front of the facili- ty’s new signage. Laird has served as a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster and executive board member for more than 50 years, and was council board chairman for three years. In that role, he led efforts to re- new the council’s camping fa- cilities, and in the 24 years since stepping down from that position, has continued to help recruit strong leadership. Laird is CEO of Laird Coatings Company, and has arranged for his estate to sup- port the OC Boy Scout Council.
