Kevin was one of the better scouts in the Pack races, winning various medals in the Pinewood and Space Derbys. He also was very active in fund-raising, decorating his red vest with all sorts of patches. He bridged into Troop 1785 in the spring of 1998 where he moved rapidly up through the ranks to become a First Class Scout within the first year of his Boy Scout career.
