Volunteering again this past year with Scouting America continues to be a meaningful experience for me. By serving as Troop Committee Chair for Troop 9632 I get to work with eight very bright and goal-focused young ladies. My mentoring responsibilities include providing guidance with merit badges, talking through goals, and encouraging them along the way!

I’ve also had the opportunity to sit on Boards of Review for rank advancements, which is always special. Hearing each Scout reflect on what she’s learned and how she’s grown reminds me why this program is so important.

Other volunteer activities that I've participated in within our Troop include campouts, road trips, and local non-profit engagements. Watching our scouts build confidence, leadership skills, and resilience is very rewarding and I'm happy for the opportunity to play a small role in their journey.

As Arrow of Light (AOL) Den Leader for Pack 936, my volunteer hours include meeting planning and execution to ensure the successful completion of the Arrow of Light Rank for nine 5th graders. Specifics include weekly den meetings, monthly committee meetings, weekend campouts (both Pack and Council), community engagements like the Broken Arrow Christmas Parade and BA Neighbors food bank, hikes, popcorn sales booth supervision, and summertime activities.

Things flowed smoothly. Continued to send two students per guide and that always keeps things moving. The music was a nice addition that I don't remember having last year. It was nice to have a working mic.
Thank you for lunch!
