P.S. As some of you may know, I am transitioning out of the pack and its leadership that I have been a part of since 2015 with my grandsons, and previously with my son 1994-1999. It has been my privilege to be part of an organization that does nice things for our young people, helping to instill scouting ideals that are sorely needed in a functioning society, all while having fun at campouts and other scout gatherings. It’s been fun watching the kids grow from Lion to Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light. I wish all the best to the pack, and its families and leadership.
Respectfully Submitted,
Chris Klaren
