To the family of Jules: I remember most of my life his infectious compassion , caring and dedication to Boy Scouts and his hard work in leadership on the Narragansett Council Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of American. He worked tirelessly in creating an exceptional program in Judaism for Scouts at Camp Yawgoog and his leadership skills helped to make both the BSA and Camp Yawgoog a great success in local, regional, national and even international scouting..He and the late Stanley Turco were like two peas in a pod; Jules worked basin giving, caring and building better lives for Scouts. It was an honor and privilege to know this generous man with such a big heart.
