Hi there all! I'm a new Cub Scouter/Tiger Cub Dad from the Great Sauk Trail. I'm so new, I just turned the paperwork in yesterday(5/30)!!

Both of my daughters are active Girl Scouts and my wife is a Co-Leader for both of their troops. And while I say I'm new, I'm also old. I'm a 14 veteran of the BSA from Texas' Alamo Area Council. I came up thru the ranks from Cubs, to Boy Scouts, to Sea Explorers, to being a Scout leader.
