Paul has been active with the Cub Scout Program since 1992. Paul is currently the Webelos Den Leader for Pack 809 in Oswego NY. Paul tries to run his Webelos den so that the boys will make a smooth transition from the cub scout program to the boy scout program. He tries to use a modified patrol method whenever possible (modified to be more geared towards Webelos age boys), and tries to take the boys out camping at least once every other month no matter what the weather is like. Paul's oldest son transitioned from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts in February of 1997, and his youngest son is scheduled to transition into Boy Scout Troop 888 in Oswego, NY in February 2002. At that time Paul is planning on retiring from the pack leadership (for at least a little while)
