Dwight Shephard Came to Mowglis in 1963 from his hometown of Wellesley, Massachusetts, as a result of a visit from Jim Hart and his father, Mowglis Director William Hart Sr. He came as a cub under Cub Parent Brooks Benjamin. He was on the Gopher Squad in his Den year and graduated in 1968.

Dwight was an avid swimmer and rarely missed a soak at Mowglis. When he wasn't in the water he was ON the water. He rowed crew at Belmont Hill because of his exposure to it at Mowglis where he rowed on the Blue Racing Crew.
