Colleen is Dual Scout Mom

She didn’t know it, but it turns out she too is an outdoor enthusiast. It took her a little longer to discover this passion. She knew she was addicted to scouting, but it wasn’t until her younger son moved up to Boy Scouts and she went on her first Boy Scout Campout in March of 2007 that she figured out why her husband never complained about camping. It’s a whole different world.

Since that time, she’s become an Assistant Scout Master with Troop 483, survived the C.O.P.E. Facilitator training, (almost) conquered her fear of falling to be a Climbing Instructor, and most recently, become the Crew Adviser for Crew 483. Her goals for 2008 are to become a COPE Director, kiss her fear of falling goodbye once and for all, and begin seeing the world with the Crew.

You’ll find her posting on the home page with her random pondering and Venture Crew 483 page from time to time about the adventures of the Crew.
