Remkus has always gone out of his way to include others and make them feel welcome; he is the leader that new Scouts emulate and seek when needing assistance; and WHEREAS, His troop appreciates and admires his willingness to be the first to try something new; he is the first to scale the rock wall, ski the slope, or get in front of an audience; and WHEREAS, Currently, Tristan S.
