I started my scouting career in 2007. I participated in almost everything that my Den and Pack did. I worked on belt loops such as computers, sports, art and other interesting and fun belt loops. As a webelo I earned all my pins and achieved my arrow of light, moving from Pack 527 to Troop 527 in 2011.
