This week, host Brenna West is rounding out this season of The Girl Scout Advantage Podcast with the inspiration behind the Dudes of Girl Scouting series—Dan Ketchum, aka Gramps.
Dan has been a pillar of Camp Linden, following in the footsteps of his father as Ranger and dedicating decades to making camp a home for generations of Girl Scouts. Though he recently retired, his work at camp never stopped—he continues to volunteer and work alongside Rob Lehman, ensuring the beauty of camp lives on.
Dan shares how his role evolved over time: “I just came here to do the work. I did not think I would have to be involved with the kids. And then I found out it was a matter of getting to be involved with the kids. I found I wanted to be. It just made my job so much more interesting.”
In this heartfelt episode, Dan reflects on his legacy at Camp Linden, the moments that changed him, and why Girl Scout camp is such a special place for all who experience it.
