Committee Chair: Kristi Arnold
Hey there! I’m the founding committee chair for Troop 2319G. I’ve been involved in scouting since 2018, as soon as it was possible for the kids to join Cub Scouts as a Bear and a Webelo. A proud member of Pack 815 leadership, I served in various scouting positions including den leader, committee member, health officer, and treasurer. I grew up a little bit of everywhere (with a military parent) and love cooking and personal finance.
