Who are you and where are you from?

My name is Alekzander Bott, I like to go by Alek. I'm from Perry, Ohio.

What is your Scouting history?

I started as a tiger cub. My grandfather was my Cubmaster and I moved through my ranks with him. I crossed over to Boy Scouts where I just recently earned my rank of Eagle.  I completed 51 Merit Badges to earn 6 Palms! 
Currently I am a Tiger Den Leader for Pack 3068 and an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 55.  Now that I have completed my Scouting journey I am helping my little sister with hers.

Why do you love camp and what brings you back this year?

I LOVE camp! I love being outdoors, exploring, trying new things!  This will be my 6th year on staff as the Sports and Games instructor!  I truly like helping and teaching the cubs new stuff.  I look forward to making  new games and doing obstacle courses for the cubs to have fun. Those smiling faces looking up to me (and they have to look way up!) makes me happy!

What is your favorite color? 

My favorite color is blue.

What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is my Nana's  Salisbury Steak Burgers with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This summer's theme is Superheroes, do you have a favorite?  

Sonic the Hedgehog! 

Least favorite villian? 

Since I went with Sonic I would have to say Dr. Robotnik  or as Sonic calls him, Eggman.

If you could have a super power, what would it be? 

I think teleportation would be cool!

You can catch Alek this summer at Adventure Camp at Beaumont!
