Family Of Scouts

I became a Cub Scout at the age of 8 in 1971 and finished up my Scouting career as an Eagle Scout and member of the OA at the age of 18. The journey shaped who I am today by providing the life tools to navigate the world around me and help others along the way. The experiences that came with Scouting challenged my abilities and taught me the value of being part of a team where everyone brings their own personal skills to the pack. Being a scout was a family priority, my father, grandfather, and their siblings were all Eagle Scouts. Scouting is an institution that molded the positive values of my family and hope will continue to do the same for others in the future.
