An avid camper and fisherman, David spends his time in the surrounding areas of Gooseberry Falls State Park with his 3 children. David has dedicated the last 11 years serving as the scout master and merit badge counselor of his local scout troop. David’s background in education and consulting has helped him to become a skilled and creative instructor by making learning fun and engaging.
Jeff Bagwell

Jeff runs his local Boy Scout troop and enjoys taking them on ice fishing trips where he can not only teach them about fishing, but also about how to survive in such brutal weather.
What Our Members Have To Say
“
Every time there was a scout camp workshop at the local YMCA, I was busy with other activities and missed the chance to earn a merit badge.
Now, I am able to work on my Merit Badges when it fits into my busy schedule. The vidoes are actually pretty cool instead of 'blah blah blah'.
I was able to earn 5 merit badges in one month instead of 4 months.
