I’ve been a Scout or a Scouter in at least part of the ‘50s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, the “oughts”, teens and now the '20s. I’ve been with Troop 1776 since 1988, when I became an Assistant Scoutmaster. I am now the Chartered Organization Representative. I have been a counselor for the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge for over fifteen years. I love backpacking. I’ve been to Philmont three times, backpacked the Grand Canyon rim to rim and have been on a lot of the trails in Georgia and surrounding areas. I am Wood Badge Trained as a Bear in Course 92-36. My career as a Scout was interrupted when my family moved to the Ozarks so I only attained the rank of Star. My son Rob is an Eagle Scout from Troop 1776.
