Sandi Patrick
Lodge Staff Advisor
My name is Sandi Patrick and I have been in scouting for the last 11 years. I began with my sons when they joined as Tigers and ended up taking over as their Den leader. I was also very involved with the Pack committee and the York District Day Camp for many years. When my sons crossed over to Troop 219 I joined their committee. Since then I have enjoyed all the many camp outs and activities I have been able to attend as a scout leader. In 2024 I not only became a professional scouter but I was also inducted into the OA and was able to obtain my brotherhood in the fall of 2024. Since then I have had the privilege of serving the OA as the staff advisor and now also taking on the role of craft advisor.
