Leave It Better

The scout rule is to leave a place better than you found it. I try to apply it to campsites, trails, my troop, and the software I write for my neighborhood.

Eagle Scout

My Eagle project was for my own neighborhood. The Del Sur Community HOA booked its parks through long back-and-forth email chains. I led a team of three to build a park reservation system and a newsletter app to replace them.

I went through several versions of the app and got feedback from five board members and homeowners along the way. The HOA still uses it about seven times a month.

Assistant Senior Patrol Leader & Instructor

From the kid asking questions to the one answering them

At my first weeklong camp in Sequoia, I was the newest scout there and asked about everything, down to which uniform to wear when. Older scouts taught me a lot. Now it's my turn.

Selected as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader out of four candidates.
Led 15 weekly troop meetings for 120+ scouts.
Planned the logistics and daily activities for five multi-day camping trips.
As First Aid instructor and "Gamemaster," designed 5+ games to teach first aid and cooking to 30 scouts.
As Trek Leader on Mt. San Jacinto, led ten scouts in a trail cleanup.
