Gary Kessler

Scout Master

I love scouting and equally camping. I’ve been a leader in various troops over the years and have to say that this is the best well run troop of them all. It’s rewarding to see the scouts learn so much, make new friends and develop into responsible young men. I had a great scouting experience growing up in Murray, Utah with my passionate dad as a scout leader and now it’s my turn to give back by guiding, inspiring and teaching the future leaders of our communities. I enjoy sharing my love for the amazing outdoor activities like kayaking, rafting, snowboarding, camping, outdoor cooking and hiking with the members of our troop..
Go Scouting!!! 

Simon Downer

Senior Patrol Leader

My name is Simon Downer and I am the senior patrol leader of this troop. I enjoy being the youth leader and look forward to all the fun campouts we do. I also enjoy a handful of different sports as well as music.

Chris Preston

Committee Chairman

Chris became the committee chair in January 2023. He is a former Varsity Coach, Venturing Advisor, and Charter Organization Representative. Active as an adult leader in scouts for over twelve years, he is also an Eagle Scout. When not doing things for the troop, he can frequently be found playing racquetball, pickleball, baseball (or any other sport his kids talk him into), walking the dog, reading Russian novels, or collecting stamps. Scouting has always been an important aspect of his life, and he enjoys sharing this experience with the scouts in the troop.
