As a youth I got involved with Scouting late. I was about 13 when I started this journey. As a Scout I attained the rank of Life and was elected into the Order Of the Arrow. While I was not involved with a very active high adventure troop we did extensive camping and hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I still use what I learned in Scouts to this very day. I became reacquainted with Scouts when my son joined Pack 735 and have helped him grow as a young man and Scout. I am a Navy veteran where I learned to be an aviation maintenance technician and have been employed with Delta Air Lines for over 20 years. I think Scouting is essential for young men in order to learn leadership and life skills to move forward through their daily lives. I enjoy working with and watching the boys grow in Scouting along with their lives.

I am originally from Guyana, located on the Atlantic coast of South America. As a kid growing up I joined the Cub Scout program while in elementary (primary) school and then the Scouts program while I was in high school. Scouting in Guyana back then was similar in many respects to scouting here in the US, as we were taught many of the same life skills. However, the camping and outdoor activities were always of the primitive type simply because we didn’t have readily available access to camping stoves, tents, and many of the amenities that help make camping more comfortable today. Nevertheless the experiences were valuable and definitely helped to shape me as a person all the way into adulthood. I then became a Mechanical Engineer and after a few years migrated to the US in 2000. Since then I rejoined Scouting when my son Kaiden joined Pack 750 as a Tiger back in 2011 and eventually became his Webelos den leader for two years. With a total of eleven Webelos achieving their Arrow of Light that year, I joined Troop 007 with Kaiden as an Assistant Scoutmaster and in November of 2020 watched with tremendous pride as he earned his Eagle rank. Today, I enjoy working and supporting the Troop and the other boys achieving their rank and eventually Eagle, as I firmly believe that the Scouting program hugely benefits our youth, equipping them with the skills needed to become successful in life. Outside of Scouting, I’m a member of the Civil Air Patrol which helps to satisfy my love for aviation and I work for General Electric as an Engineering Leader.

I began my Scouting experience when my son joined Cub Scouts. Eventually I became Scoutmaster of Troop 802 of Aberdeen, Maryland where I served for seven years and Life-to-Eagle Mentor for two years while assisting and counseling fourteen Scouts to the rank of Eagle Scout. Since Moving to Georgia in 2006 I have served as an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 7. I have completed all Basic Leader training requirements and am Wood Badge and Powderhorn trained. My passion in Scouting focuses on promoting boy leadership and advancement and on vigorous outdoor high adventure activities such as backpacking, canoeing, cycling, and wilderness camping. I have helped organize several local high adventure activities and have mentored four Philmont crews. I have recently been awarded the Silver Beaver for service to the Council through district training staff, Wood Badge staff, and for NYLT Scoutmaster for five courses .

Steve Hultberg

Committee Chair



I started in Scouting as a Cub Scout and went all the way through to Boy Scouts, earning my arrow of Light along the way. Growing up, my father had a job which required us to move frequently. I belonged to four different scout troops. I was lucky and each troop was very active in the outdoors. While a Scout I went to Philmont Scout Ranch, backpacked in Alaska, and canoed the Buffalo River in Arkansas, just to name of few of the high adventures that we went on. I was elected to the Order of the Arrow and earned my Eagle Scout Award. My son joined Pack 750 and I again became active in Scouting. I was an assistant Den Leader and when he crossed over to Troop 7, I became an Assistant Scoutmaster. I have been a Police Officer for over 25 years. I believe that by helping our youth develop leadership skills, confidence in themselves and their abilities, you are helping to groom our future leaders. The principles and teachings of the Boy Scouts and their leaders have helped to develop numerous leaders in the past 100 years, and I hope to help continue that tradition.
