I am Nathan Patel, I joined the Troop when I was 11 years old, 7 years later I am finishing up my carrer as a scout with the troop, and it has been the best 7 years of my life!!
One of the newer members of the scouter team, Neale just can't resist coming out on troop and venture outings. Currently a student at the U-M's Residential College where he is studying Political and Environmental sciences "Random" hopes to someday "make it" as an orchestral conductor, outdoor educator, and also create his own line of oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies.
Marcus Aurelius, the true king, is now getting older. Once the young and youthful leader of Patrol A, then SPL, the crew chief, he now holds his final position as Junior Assistant Scoutmaster as he hobbles along on one bad leg trying to keep it with the other scouts. Actually, that just the real Assistant Scoutmasters. Mark is a member of the class of 2011, soon to be graduating and leaving Ann Arbor (maybe). His favorite troop activities included telemark skiing, mountaineering, climbing, kayaking, backpacking, river hiking (yes down the center of the river), and working with the website.
