Welcome New Member - Rick Suhrbier, 3 River's District Director

I have been in the Scouts since second grade.  Earned my Eagle in 1996.  I have served on summer camp staffs in NY and PA for over 10 years and have been serving on the National Camping School Aquatics staff since 2000.  I am coming to Three Rivers District from Cradle of Liberty Council where I was serving as a Senior District Executive for the past 4 years.

I look forward to working with everyone and I am very excited to be a part of the Del-Mar-Va Council and the Three Rivers District Team.”
