From this point forward Michael’s accounts of his involvement becomes unclear. He talks about serving on many Advisory Councils and several years as a Member on Executive Boards. He did maintain himself as a registered Scouter at large.

1999 that he received a letter from the National Boy Scout Office congratulating him on 75 years of service to the Boy Scouts of America. Michael only counted his years as an adult leader. At this point he actually had 85 years of service as a youth and as an adult.

2001: James West Fellowship - Clinton Valley Council
James West Fellowship - Bay Lakes Council

2004: Micheal's death in 2004 marked his 90th year as a registered scouter.

*After helping to create the Bay Jammer event in 1948, Michael J., at the age of 103, and his eldest son were the first to register for the Bay Jammer event in 2004
