People

Here is some background on our motley crew of volunteers!

OUR LEADER SLATE is made up of those who drink ALL their cool-aid, and step up take on managing a major section of our Scouting Machine. They are the best and brightest - and since everyone is only here for 6-15 months, there is always a need for FRESH VOLUNTEERS!
