Wes has been working with the Boy Scouts for thirteen years.   He is currently the Field Director for the North Team of the Pathway to Adventure Council.  He provided us with a broad overview and update  of scouting in our area, including programs we are familiar with like Cubs and Scout troops, and programs that many are less familiar with like Explorer Posts.  He made special note of the scouting and soccer initiative which  started  in 2008 and brings 1000 families together for soccer and scouting.  Wes has two sons, the oldest of whom is an Eagle Scout.
