My First Camp as Patrol Chief.

Fall camp was my first time as a patrol chief, leading the brothers I have been with since I joined FNE. It was difficult: I had to stay focused, because if I slacked off, my patrol would too. FNE has taught me leadership, time management and loyalty, and how to use tools like a pocket knife, axe and saw. It has also strengthened my relationship with God, and my brothers make FNE meaningful and important in my life.
