Why?

I am often asked why I am a Scoutmaster. It really is quite simple. Someone did it for me, so I need to pay it forward. I wager Troop 5 has trained quite a few future troop leaders. I am hoping 20 years from now, I will hear from the men of Troop 5 about their scout troops.

It is enjoyable to help deliver a program that gave me so much. Scouting is the foundation on how I interact with the world. Living by a moral code, doing your best,while doing the right thing cannot be bad way to go through life.

Plus as an innately goofy person, Scouting is a perfect outlet.
