Growing up in Puerto Rico, Scouting played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. Trust me when I say this, that words alone cannot describe the impact Scouting has on young people. Today as an adult, I am thrilled to give back to this organization as a volunteer and enjoy once again with my sons the Scouting experience in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico needs Scouting, and Scouting needs you.
