Harold was actively involved with Scouting for over 50 years, as Akela of the 2nd Lakewood Cub Pack and District Commissioner of the Fundy Coast District. Harold was also a Past Chancellor Commander of the Knights of Pythias NB Lodge No. 1 of which he was a member for over 50 years. He was a member of the Church of Christ the King (St. James Anglican Church, Lakewood) where his youngest son, Eric, was the first baby to be baptized.
