<!--C. Maxwell “Max” Stanley [[C. Maxwell Stanley]] continued his life-long involvement in Boy Scouts after he settled in Muscatine (see also Scouting in Iowa, early History: 1910 - 1950). He served as Scoutmaster of Troop 127 for 15 years, operating out of Muscatine's Methodist Church on Iowa Avenue. He was particularly involved during the timeframe his sons David and Dick moved through the scouting ranks to [[Eagle Scout]]. He encouraged involvement of the employees of Stanley Consultants and HON Industries in scouting activities. At one point (in 1961), it was noted in an SCI company publication "The Compass" that more than 50 SCI employees and spouses were actively participating in that troop. Dick served as scoutmaster of Troop 127 in the late 50s and 60s as Max's grandsons Linc, Nate, and Joe moved through the ranks. Ned Osborn's grandsons also participated in scouting in Troop 127 during that timeframe.<ref>Ros Jensen. (1991). MAX, a Biography of C. Maxwell Stanley, Engineer, Businessman, World Citizen.
