Board of Review. Phil was honored with The Boy Scout Silver Beaver Award, the
highest award made by a Boy Scout Council to a volunteer, for his distinguished
years of service.
Phil taught Building Trades-Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing and Masonry for 25
years between Cumberland Middle & High School. He and Sandi were longtime
faithful members of Fitzgerald Memorial Baptist Church where he served as
Deacon Chair. Phil was President of the Cumberland Rescue Squad for 10 years.
Phil was elected to the Board of Supervisors of Cumberland County and served
effectively for 4 years. Phil was also President of the Cumberland Ruritan Club.

eye. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sandi G. Scarborough, his sons,
Raymond Philip Scarborough, III, of Cumberland, and Robert (Rob) Eugene Pratt,
