Boy Scout Camp Whitsett celebrates 75 years of operation since its formal dedication on Sunday, July 6, 1947, during the 2021 season. Tens of thousands of Scout and adult campers, and thousands of Staff have called CAMP WHITSETT home for the summer. During those 75 years, those Scouts, adult leaders, and Staff have accumulated vivid memories of their summers in Camp. Many of those memories, added to those of the author, Chuck Smith who spent many years at Whitsett since his first 1959 Summer Camp experience, make up this journey.
Chuck Smith (1927 - 2013)
Pastor Chuck was used in the Jesus People revival where he was used along with others to minister to the hippy young people. They saw a work of the Spirit where many were added to the church and discipled. He has raised up many pastors who are a part of the Calvary Chapel movement now and where he pastors the large Costa Mesa church in California.The Calvary Chapel movement is based of simple principles that Chuck Smith taught over the years such as: The priority of agape love, Simple fellowship amongst the saints, the breaking of bread, the teaching of God's word chapter by chapter and verse by verse. And lastly and most importantly the principle not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the Lord.
