Sherman Leo Kiser (31 Aug. 1889, Huntington County, Indiana-24 Mar 1974, Fort Myers Beach, Lee, Florida) was a US Army officer. He is famous in Philippine Bo…y Scouting history as the founder of the Lorillard Spencer Troop, an early Boy Scout Troop in the Philippines, and is mentioned in every account of Philippine Boy Scouts history. On 15 November 1914, 2nd Lieutenant Sherman Kiser, then a young US Army artillery officer with the Philippine Scouts at Pettit Barracks in Zamboanga City, organized the Lorillard Spencer Troop, named after Lorillard Suydam Spencer (1883-1939), member of the Officers of the National Council and Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America indirectly honoring Lorillard's mother Caroline Suydam Berryman Spencer, a wealthy widow who worked as a missionary on Mindanáo and provided money for the troop's Boy Scout uniforms. In 1915 the Boy Scouts of America magazine Boys' Life, Vol. V, No. 6, August 1915, page 21, reported: "Lieut. Kiser of the Philippine scouts in the American army has organized a troop of boy scouts in the town of Zamboango. The boys are keenly interested in scouting and put the scout law into action daily." Kiser, a career officer in the US Army served at the Battle of Bud Bagsak in 1913 under Gen. John Joseph Pershing. In 1914 to early 1915, Kiser was stationed at Augur Barracks on Jolo and Pettit Barracks in Zamboanga City. In 1915 to early 1916 he was assigned to coastal defenses and Camp Eldridge in Laguna. In middle 1916 he was back on Mindanáo at Ludlow Barracks. On 19 May 1917 he got promoted to first lieutenant. As an artillery battalion commander in World War I, he received decorations from the USA and France. In 1929 he graduated from the United States Army Command and General Staff College. On 14 March 1946, the 14th Major Port, the US Army unit Col. Kiser served as Port Commander, was honored by the Mayor and burghers of the Borough of Southampton in England for outstanding achievement in the operation of the Port of Southampton during World War II and on D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy. Later, Col. Kiser was also honored as a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his World War II service. After retirement, Kiser authored The American Concept of Leadership and Americanism in Action.
