Lincoln Lodge's Troop No 5: BSP

Dear Worhipful Bro Armando Limcangco,

I am brother Armin Santos. You are a dear, dear dad to us especially when Troop No. 5 [Boy Scouts of the Philippines - BSP] was still around. The history of Lincoln Lodge will never be the same without mentioning the Boy Scout troop that existed between 1959 to about 1993 [which was sponsored by Lincoln Lodge]. It became inactive since then. It would have been 50 years old this year.

Dad Limcangco served as Institutional head and committee chairman of the Boy Scouts and his son, Bro. Leo Limcangco was a Senior Patrol Leader and subsequently Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Many of us were former scouts - WBro. Ollie Olano, Bro. Mario  Baylon, Jr, Bro. Ernie Rivera, Bro. Edael Ordaz, Bro. Victor Samson, too many to mention  [Senior DeMolay Brods Dave Malicsi, Al Dela Cruz, Bado & Boy Jordan, Butch Gregorio, etc.] , why we can put up a Masonic lodge !

Long live Lincoln Lodge and Wor. Bro. Armando,

Bro. Armin Santos
