had forgotten their supper
food. He and his patrol
were hungry that night but
learned valuable lessons
on “Being Prepared” and
listening to their leaders.
After high school
Aaron attended NCSU
earning a BA in Sociol-

with an MA in School

found the “right” girl to
share his life.
Aaron is the Youth

He is an Assistant

Aaron says that scout-

me valuable life skills
as well as instilling self
confidence that he can
achieve his goals.
