In addition to the items below, my properties experience continues at the Bay-Lakes Council, which runs three summer camp programs at three different properties. In 2023 and 2024, Bay-Lakes ran four summer camp programs at four different properties. I oversaw Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch in the Black Hills Area Council from 2018 to 2022, and was Staff Advisor to the Sioux Council Properties Committee from 2006 to 2015. In those time periods the respective Councils experienced the successes listed below. In the Black Hills Area Council we developed a building priority list and camp building needs inventory, to upgrade and maintain facilities as funding and materials allowed.
