About
Hi! My name is Jerry and I am the Scoutmaster of Troop 664 in Gresham, OR.
A while back someone told me to write stuff down, to share my Scouting experience with other people. And so I created a blog. You can read it here.
That blog lead to some folks asking me to try my hand at podcasting, and that is where this site came from.
I suppose to let you know a bit about me, I have been in Scouting nearly all my life. I had the best opportunities to be a Scout as a youth in the Transatlantic Council while we lived in Holland. It was Scouting like you can not imagine. Later we
moved to Louisiana were Scouting took a sharp turn to an adventure in Backpacking. This led to a life long love of Backpacking and the rest as they say is History.
One day, my oldest Son brought home a flyer to join Cub Scouts and our Scouting life started up again. I have been an adult leader since then.
I have enjoyed serving as a Den leader, Cubmaster, and now the most rewarding position of all, Scoutmaster.

Excelent Podcast, They keep getting better and better. Great topic, I’m going to burn this to a few CD’s and pass them out at a troop meeting and mention the site at our roundtable. Yes it sounded scripted but it was very well covered. Not only does it help identify bullying but also suggest how to deal with it.
