Greetings from West Central Florida

[Tokala]

Greetings from West Central Florida, specifically St. Petersburg. I started in Scouting in 1972 in Pack 367. I crossed over into Troop 367 and earned my Eagle Scout there in 1979. I was Scoutmaster for Troop 404 in Clearwater for a couple of years. I currently serve as the advancement chairman for Troop 404. I also serve on the Osceola district advancement committee. I attended the 1981 National Jamboree as the local Council's SPL.

 

I Ordealed into Timuquan lodge 340 in 1977. I kept my Vigil in 1983 and was honored with the Founder's Award in 1987. I served in many positions in the lodge as a youth, including lodge chief. I also served one term as a section officer of SE1. I have served in many adviser positions with the lodge. Currently, I am the S4S adult coordinator for Arrow Corps 5.

 

I'm a Bobwhite from Wood badge course SE-463 and have served on staff a few times with the latest being SPL for SR886. I've served on JLT and NYLT staff, with 2 years as a JLT Scoutmaster and 1 year as NYLT Scoutmaster.

 

I have always enjoyed Scouting and when I was a teen, I never thought that my membership and involvement would have continued on through since 1972.

 

I look forward to sharing ideas and learning some new tricks to help youth enjoy Scouting as much as I did.
