Affiliations

I've been a long serving adult leader in my sons' Scout Troop since 2017. My older son, Jack, recently received his Eagle Scout Rank and it has been very rewarding for me to serve Troop 605 as an Assistant Scoutmaster for the last 8 years. There's nothing better as a leader than that of being at Summer Camp each year and knowing you're having a positive impact on our future leaders!
