BSA Troop 1237

Audie Willingham, (Mr. Audie) ; Scoutmaster : Mr. Audie joined our troop in the winter of 2004-2005 and brings a new facet to our adult leadership corps with his knowledge of life in the early days of our nation. He has helped the scouts make haversacks as well as coats from wool blankets much as the pioneers did. He is an avid archer and has a wealth of outdoors / survival skills; many of which he picked up during his 24 years in the US Marine Corps. Mr. Audie is active in his church where he leads religious education classes for the youth. He is a native of California and enjoys his current career as a plumber primarily working in the commercial / industrial sector.

Charles Rentz, Jr, (Chuck) ; Assistant Scoutmaster : Mr. Rentz was the Scoutmaster of Troop 1237 from 2002 through 2008. Prior to that he was an assistant scoutmaster for the better part of a year. Before returning to the Washington area from which he departed after high school graduation, Chuck enjoyed the warm climate of Orlando, Florida where he was employed as an accountant for a travel agency. Preceding Florida, Lieutenant Rentz traveled the world courtesy of the United States Navy for 10 years. Chuck was commissioned as a Naval officer directly after graduating from Texas A & M University with a Bachelor of Science in business. Mr. Rentz is committed to assisting our troop’s youth in reaching all that they wish to achieve. He routinely attends various training that the District and Council provide. Mr. Rentz is real estate appraiser.

Kimberly Gilbert-Toelle, Esquire (Ms. Kim) ; Assistant Scoutmaster : Before Mr. Rentz was Scoutmaster, Ms. Kim willingly took on that position at a time when the troop most needed her. Her cheerful spirit kept the troop operating smoothly while her prior experience and training set an example for newcomers to follow. After training the new adults, Ms. Kim graciously stepped out of the limelight back to Assistant Scoutmaster, a position which she had held for several years prior to her scoutmastership. Mrs Gilbert-Toelle icurrently is active at the District and Council levels. Ms. Gilbert is a real estate attorney.

State University and worked for the university. He knows way too much about trees and machinery!
