Bill Hasling, a West Windsor resident for the past 23 years, was recognized this spring for his service to the community through scouting — especially for being Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 40 from 2002 to 2008. Troop 40 has been a part of the West Windsor community for more than 50 years.
Hasling guided the boys through numerous troop activities as well as high adventure trips. Troop members shared stories about Hasling finding the rope swing over the Delaware River while canoeing, bringing out tennis balls for juggling whenever there was a lull on a trip, or sharing a story and a laugh around the campfire. Under his watch, more than 20 boys worked on Eagle projects, including trails, benches, kiosks, picnic tables, and bat boxes in numerous parks and preserves in West Windsor.
