Our Committee

I first became involved in Scouting when my son started at the beginning of his Kindergarten year as a Lion. So, I am going on my 4th year in scouting.

It is so hard to pick out a single favorite moment but if I absolutely have to I think it would be seeing the huge smile on my sons face this summer after he overcame not one but two of his biggest fears at summer camp.

I believe the most beneficial part of scouting is that youth get to build up their self confidence, which can influence all parts of their lives.

If I was to say something to somebody looking into joining scouts I would say that no matter your childs background or disability (if there is one) scouting can influence many different parts in their lives in a variety of different ways and even if it may seem difficult, in the end you as a parent/scout will not regret your time in scouting.

Something I would like to add is that scouting is for everybody, including those whom may have medical conditions or disabilities that may believe it's not possible to be a part of scouting.

34 years ago as a Cub Scout myself.

My favorite memory is building and camping in a snow cave in the klondike derby

Many of the values and habits learned in Scouting will be useful throughout the Scout's life

Its a great chance to learn in a fun and positive environment

I got involved in Scouting last year when my now Bear was a Tiger.

It is hard to choose one because every day is an adventure. Currently, I would say putting the Flags on Veterans graves for Memorial Day. My dad is a Veteran and he joined us.

The growth that I have seen in not just my son, but the other kids has been amazing. He has grown more confident, he is more helpful and he is learning things that will help him as he goes through life. 

I have not seen one thing in Scouting that has not been beneficial. It is hard to choose because it is all parts of something much bigger. I have seen kids come out of their shells and be more confident in themselves. I have seen kids push their own boundaries (physical and mental) and come out proud of themselves with a huge smile on the other side. 

Take that leap! It has been great for our whole family. We're making memories while growing and learning together.

Scouting can push you to your limits in the best way. It is so much more than camping and hiking. There is learning to work with your hands, and friendships that will last forever along with life skills that will follow you into adulthood.  

I throughly believe that joining Scouts has been the best thing we've ever done. I am so excited to see where it takes us next.
