Chris Throgmorton is a former Marine Corps sergeant and California Highway Patrol officer who supports local charities. He was inspired to do so by his experience in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), which teaches strong values to over 2 million youth through outdoor activities and a structured ranking system. One of the most difficult requirements to achieve the highest Boy Scout rank of Eagle is an Eagle Scout Service Project, where the scout plans and leads a volunteer project benefiting their community, demonstrating leadership skills learned through the BSA program.
