Do you remember the thrill of earning your first merit badge? The camaraderie around the campfire? The life lessons learned on weekend outings and summer camps?

Who Was Your Favorite Scoutmaster?

Think back to your days in the Scouts. Who was the Cub or Scoutmaster who inspired you the most? Maybe it was the one who taught you how to tie your first knot or the one who helped you overcome your fear of heights on a rock climbing expedition. That same Scoutmaster, who played such a pivotal role in your development, is still part of our community. Imagine the joy of catching up with them, sharing how their guidance influenced your life, and hearing their stories from over the years.
