Charles Probst Outdoors Memorial Fund

This fund will be used for Grants & Scholarships and it will also provide opportunities for recipients to further their outdoor endeavors.

Charley's love of the outdoors was shared as a Hunter Safety Instructor for over 50 years in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. In those five decades, he was able to share his own outdoor experiences and help to instill a zest for the outdoors in literally thousands of incoming young hunting enthusiasts. This was a joy of his as Charley was an experienced outdoorsman with a vast knowledge of skills in hunting, fishing, trapping and more. He was also showcased on his son’s outdoor television show where Charley was always the highlight.

Just this past Winter and most recent Spring you would have found him in the woods and streams where he harvested his deer, many a fish and his largest turkey ever at 24 pounds that carried a paintbrush (wide) for a beard as he so noted to all that would listen. Some of the highlights of his outdoor lifestyle were receiving his 50-year Hunter Safety Instructor badge a couple of years ago and also receiving the Pennsylvania Trapper’s Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022.

This Memorial Fund will be used for specific Scholarships as well as in helping other organizations when doing their fundraisers through outdoor educational projects. This fund is set up to help further the outdoor traditions of future generations so that they can experience all that nature has to offer. We appreciate your support.
