Reason for Joining the Troop: I want to help support boys and girls on their journey to becoming strong, capable men and women. My hope is to encourage and guide them as they grow, and to inspire them to leave the world better than they found it.
Favorite Trip: Brotherhood Camporee
Favorite Thing About Scouting: I love that Scouting gets our boys and girls out of the house and into the outdoors. In an increasingly digital world, Scouting reminds us that we live in a physical, human world, one filled with adventure, discovery, and the wonders of nature. It encourages young people to step away from their screens, explore their surroundings, build real-world skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for the world around them. The world is a beautiful place. Let’s get out there and experience it!
