I have been in scouting since I was 8 years old. I am an Eagle Scout and have served as Assistant Scoutmaster, Unit Commissioner, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster and Charter Organization Representative. I am currently serving as a Scout Committee Member. This blog has a few items I have collected over the years that may help assist you in your scouting adventures.
