ABOUT SCOTT BEIGEL
Scott Beigel was a teacher. A cross-country coach. A counselor. A son. A brother. An uncle. A grandchild. A nephew. A cousin. A friend.
He died a hero for his actions at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where he taught geography and coached cross-country.
For 28 summers camp was Scott’s home away from home. He first went to camp at the age of seven. His mother Linda gave him pre-addressed and stamped “fill-in-the-bubble” stationary to send home so he would not have to write letters at rest time. Scott returned year after year, becoming a beloved counselor and staff member. The summer of 2018 would have been Scott’s 29th consecutive summer at camp. In 2017, Scott joined the staff of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL. where he accepted the positions of ninth-grade geography teacher and cross-country coach. Teaching, mentoring, guiding and helping children of all ages flourish became Scott’s mission in life.
“He was a hero before he saved these lives. Just as many people who will be talking about Scott would be calling him a hero even if this didn’t occur. Obviously, a tragedy,” Beigel’s sister Melissa Zech said Saturday.
“Scott Beigel wasn’t a hero because he opened the door to his classroom at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that day. He was a hero because he opened doors every day.”
Truly kind and thoughtful words by President Barack Obama. Thank you for your support!
Dear Michael and Linda-
Your son seemed like an extraordinary young man, and Michelle and I grieve alongside you.
We can only imagine the hardship you are going through; hopefully all the wonderful memories can help ease the pain.
We’ll get the details about your fund in his honor. In the meantime, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
-Barack Obama

'Within days of Scott’s killing, his mother, Linda, had reached a conclusion. She would refuse to spend the rest of her life irreversibly shaken with sorrow and bitterness. Instead, she would endeavor to honor her son by fostering a thing dear to him: helping underprivileged children to have the same experience he had as a child.'
'Walking through Camp Hi-Rock, greeting happy campers, Linda (Scott's Mom) said she knows where her son is.... “He’s here.”'
These excerpts are taken from this article written by Felix Carroll that appeared this weekend in the Berkshire Eagle, following our visit to YMCA Camp Hi-Rock. This article captures Scott's love for children and summer sleep-away camp, as well as the mission of the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund. Read the full story by clicking on the link in our bio.

The betting odds among family members were that the shy, scrawny boy wouldn’t get on the bus. Yet, he did. The door shut behind him, and he was swept off
