Dear Covered Bridge Scouting volunteers:

My name is Rick Martinez and I currently serve you as the Covered Bridge Senior District Executive for the Atlanta Area Council, BSA.

As a young boy in Vincentown, NJ, I was very active in Scouting. I can still remember making hoagies for our annual hoagie sale, building my Pinewood Derby car with my dad, and earning my Arrow of Light before crossing over into the troop. I also remember crossing a river on a rope bridge that we made as a patrol with our Scoutmaster waiting below in a canoe, just in case one of us fell over! I remember the Father-Son campout that my dad & I went to and sleeping under the stars with a belly full of hot dogs, Smores and “bug juice”.

Now my son Christopher is in the program as a Wolf Cub in Pack 1455. I am dedicated to teaching him the things I learned through Scouting and leading him along the trail to Eagle. I have also pledged to provide the youth of Atlanta, including your children, with a quality Scouting program.

For the past 24 years, I’ve called Georgia my home, initially in Roswell before settling down in Kennesaw with my wife, Patty, my son, Christopher and my daughter, Claudia. I graduated from UGA with a degree in Communications and then earned my MBA in Finance at Kennesaw State University.

As a professional Scouter, I am a member of the Order of the Arrow and recently completed my Wood Badge ticket (92-49 Owl patrol). I have also taught a course, “Dealing with Difficult Parents”, at last year’s Commissioner College and have attended SWC for the past three years.

I look forward to serving the Covered Bridge community by promoting our program to the best of my ability. I hope that I will have an opportunity to meet with you in the near future to personally thank you for your continued commitment to Scouting. If I can ever be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call me at (770) 235-8091.

Sincerely,

Rick Martinez

Senior District Executive
