Scoutmaster: Nicole Kessler

What was your favorite memory from Scouts?

• The first CTC we went to Camping at Babcock Hovey after COVID, having the raccoon mascot and a real raccoon at the campsite

• Flat retirement ceremony with the Palmyra VFW and American Legion

How do you feel what you learned in Scouts helped you in your life?

The leadership experience has helped me navigate group work in college and my internships. I also found I have a passion for doing community service, which led me to join Alpha Phi Omega at Syracuse University and take on the role of scouting representative.

Mr Baxter helped me learn Euchre.

What are you currently doing?

Finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree at Syracuse University graduating in May following a year of internship experience with Carrier and continuing to volunteer in the greater Syracuse University Area through Alpha Phi Omega.
