    Life long in Scouting. Earned Arrow-of-Light in 1965 and Eagle Scout in 1972. Completed wood Badge in 1977 and participated in three council run International Camporees as a staff person.

Currently hold a troop Committee Chair position, promoting Scouting in the quality as Bill, BP, and others intended. I have a son in the program which keeps me motivated.
