New Scout Leader for Troop 174

History Teacher and Eagle Scout, Scott Cole, Takes the FFS Boy Scouts Under His Wing

By Max Z.

After the departure of Bruce Hutchison, The Family Foundation School scoutmaster for many years, Troop #174 has been in search of a new leader. Fortunately, Scott Cole, FFS history teacher, has decided to take over as leader of the scouts.

Cole started his scouting career as a Cub Scout in first grade. After four years in the Boy Scouts, he received his Eagle Scout award. Now, after many years, he is bringing his scouting experience, strength and hope to the scouts at The Family School.

Cole has a positive mindset for this spring’s scouts. He has many goals and visions for the troop, and is excited to incorporate his knowledge of the principles and the 12 steps into the troop’s rou­tines. Community service, clean­ing up the environment, learning about heritages, and many other activities and good deeds are on the agenda this spring, all based on spiritual aspects and principles. Cole emphasized, “The scout’s main purpose is to give back.”

“Scott Cole becoming our scoutmaster has got to be the best thing that has happened to our troop,” said scout Jimmy S. The scouts are off to a good start now, and joining can be a great opportunity to get involved with the school’s community as well as the community of Hancock. Jakub K. says, “I have never been in the Boy Scouts before, and it looks cool. I’m up for the challenge.”
