The Harold Hill Community Scholarship
Scotch Plains Rescue Squad
Several anonymous benefactors have come together to provide three scholarships ($2,500, $1,500, and $1,000) to be awarded to an active member of the Scotch Plains Rescue Squad based on activity, attendance, LOSAP (Length of Service Award Program) and overall dedication. A committee chosen by the benefactors will determine the recipients.

Now, 65 years later, he is still serving the township and its people. Harold has held every officer position, serving as Captain, President, Vice President, and Lieutenant, and was also the Treasurer for over 30 years.
