Mike Hampson
Mike is gay and a former Eagle Scout who turned in his Eagle badge to Scouting For All during the Scouting for All San Diego October rally in 2003. Mike received his Eagle Scout award in 1976, as a member of Troop 320, "The Golden Eagles," (now Troop 1320) Peters Township, Pennsylvania. Formerly Allegheny Trails Council and is currently called the Greater Pittsburgh Council.
Mike attended two National Scout Jamborees in the 1970's held at Moraine State Park (western Pennsylvania), hiked in Philmont Scout Ranch (New Mexico), participated in many camping events, community volunteering and was also inducted into the Order of the Arrow. There were many proactive adults running the operations of the troop which is the main reason why Troop 320 was a successful, active, and fun troop for all involved.
