Ben is the Patrol Leader for the gang of Patrol C guys. An awesome outdoorsman, biker, and water nut, he's one of the senior leadership boys in the troop.
Connor Is A refugee from the old B patrol that came to shelter in A. After Getting in a power struggle with ray for the leadership He graciously took the spot of APL. If you are looking for Connor you can find him in your nearest ski patrol hut or doing some strange water sport called water polo.
Ray, a student at the University of Michigan and a product of this troop, is a new Assistant Scoutmaster and quickly learning the ways of old age and treachery. When he isn't studying political "science" or some other useless discipline at the School of "LS+Play," he loves to play midnight frisbee in the Diag, play music (trumpet+drums), and work to redesign the public education system in America. Ray also loves Coca-Cola, Reeses, and sleep.
Steve has been with the troop since 1997, in a variety of roles as a scout and adult - everything from PL to QM to SPL to ASM and now Scoutmaster. Steve works for U-M as a neuroscience researcher studying brain activity related to drug abuse.
Steve initially came to visit Troop 8 because his best friend was joining. When said friend moved away, Steve promptly dropped out... only to rejoin the following year after making new friends. Soon he was Patrol Leader of the Second Year Scout Patrol, and later Patrol B.
I am a caffeine-based life form. I will take credit for the invention of the sugar sandwich, which turned out to be a great recipe, but don't try that at home kids. I am still grieving from the terrible mutilation of a beloved friend (Gummy) caused by the savage murderer who just happens to be your Assistant-Senior Patrol Leader. But don't worry I will find Gummi Jr. because we have reason to believe that Gummi had a child shortly before his gruesome death. People also say I'm clumsy, but it's up to you to decide.
